MDS9100 firmware updates - generating copy commands

Well, I went to work today … yeah, I know it’s Sunday right ? I ended up updating two MDS9148 switches and I didn’t want to figure out everything all over again. So I put the system image and kickstart onto one of our FTP servers and ran a short bash loop on it:

root:(ftp.daheim.heimdaheim.de) PWD:~
Sun Oct 20, 08:57:24 [0] > for file in `ls /srv/ftp/firmware/mds9148/*6.2.3*`; do
echo "copy ftp://10.0.0.55/`echo $file | sed 's,/srv/ftp/,,'` bootflash:/`echo $file | sed 's,/srv/ftp/firmware/mds9148/,,'`"
done

Now that’ll generate me two lines, which in turn I can use on the MDS’n:
