Steps to upgrade the rommon as well as IOS code on the chassi at the same time.

Cat4k1 #copy usb0:cat4500e-universalk9 .SPA.03.06.00.E.152-2.E.bin bootflash:

Cat4k1 #copy usb0:cat4500e-universalk9 .SPA.03.06.00.E.152-2.E.bin slavebootflash:

IF rommon image is not in usb then we will have to download it using TFTP steps for
the same mentioned below

Cat4k1 #copy tftp: slavebootflash:(rommon image)

Cat4k1 #copy tftp: bootflash: (rommon image)

Cat4k1 #config terminal

Cat4k1 (config t)#No boot system


Cat4k1 (config t)#Boot system flash bootflash:rommon filename
Cat4k1 (config t)# Boot system flash bootflash:IOS file name

Cat4k1 #Write mem <enter>

Crosscheck:
It should look like below:
BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-
15.0(1r)SG11,1;bootflash:cat4500e-universalk9 .SPA.03.06.03.E.152-2.E3.bin,

Note : We would recommend to have console access to the chassi and MW scheduled for
the upgrade to be on safe side when upgrading the IOS code
