Copying software to secondary flash deletes primary flash's content?

On Netiron MLX, my existing IronWare Software gets deleted while I want
to install a backup in the secondary flash:

Why does the other IronWare Image gets deleted?

I solved this problem with:

#cp primary secondary
.......................................................................................................
Total bytes 7653004

But I have the same problem on a line card where the primary image will
always be deleted when uploading to the secondary flash.

Re: Copying software to secondary flash deletes primary flash's content? [In reply to]

Newer releases of IronWare are too large for two copies to fit in the
flash in older modules. Brocade provides more information in the 5.2
upgrade guide.

Re: Copying software to secondary flash deletes primary flash's content? [In reply to]

Hello,

I read this, but both images fit onto the management module.

However, I removed the secondary LP image since I thought it is more
valuable to have a secondary management ironware to boot from in
emergency cases than a secondary lp image (which could be downloaded
from tftp anyway, as long as there is still a working ip connectivity).

But now I see that sync-standby seems to switch round-robin-style
between primary and secondary flash, too:

#sync
Copy CODE FLASH to standby MP, please wait.
Start code flash synchronization to standby MP.
Code flash synchronization to standby MP is done.

Finally, I wonder why one line card has pri & sec flash populated, while
I cannot populate both flash on card#5?

I think line card#6 has automatically downloaded the software from the
management module while I flashed manually card#5.
