I will describe the process of updating the firmware on Alcatel OmniStack LS 6224.
Let’s connect to the device and switch to the mode of elevated privileges:
enable
See the current firmware version:
show version
We look at what firmware versions are downloaded and what is active:
show bootvar
See how much memory is free:
dir
Run the command to copy the firmware file from the TFTP server to the switch:
copy tftp://10.0.0.18/alc6224-1.7.1.12.img image-2
I had an active firmware image-1, so I saved a new one like image-2.
I used the firmware version 1.7.1.12

Let’s make an active uploaded firmware:
boot system image-2
show bootvar
We reboot the switch:
reload
After reboot, the switch will boot with the new firmware.
If necessary, the firmware file can also be copied from the switch to TFTP:
copy image-1 tftp://10.10.0.18/image-1
