Unpacking a firmware image file in maintenance mode (option 1) The Image Unpack option unpacks and installs new firmware when the current firmware has become corrupt. Before using this option, you must load the new firmware image file onto the switch. To install new firmware using this option: 1. Place the switch in maintenance mode. See the procedure for maintenance mode in "Recovering a switch using maintenance mode" (page 55). 2. Use FTP to load a new firmware image file onto the switch. See "Custom firmware installation" (page 43) for an example of how to load the image file. When the download is complete, close the FTP session. 3. Establish a Telnet session with the switch using the default IP address 10.0.0.1. telnet 10.0.0.1 4. Enter the maintenance mode account name (prom) and password (prom), and press Enter. Switch login: prom Password: xxxx 5. Select option 1 from the maintenance menu. When prompted for a file name, enter the firmware image file name: Image filename: filename Unpacking 'filename', please wait... Unpackage successful. 6. Select option 7, Reset Switch, to reset the switch and exit maintenance mode. Resetting the network configuration in maintenance mode (option 2) The Reset Network Config option resets the network properties to the factory default values and saves them on the switch. For default network configuration values, see "Factory Configuration Defaults" (page 73). Resetting user accounts in maintenance mode (option 3) The Reset User Accounts to Default option restores the password for the Admin account name to the default (password) and removes all other user accounts from the switch. Copying log files in maintenance mode (option 4) The Copy Log Files option copies all log file buffers to a file on the switch named logfile. You can use FTP to download this file to the workstation, however, you must download logfile before resetting the switch. For information about downloading files from the switch, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide. Removing the switch configuration in maintenance mode (option 5) The Remove Switch Config option deletes all configurations from the switch except the default configuration. This restores switch configuration parameters to the factory defaults. See "Factory Configuration Defaults" (page 73) for the factory default values. Remaking the file system in maintenance mode (option 6) The Remake Filesystem option resets the switch to the factory default values, including user accounts and zoning. Use this option to recreate the file system when the switch configuration becomes corrupt because of a loss of power. See "Factory Configuration Defaults" (page 73) for the factory default values. NOTE: If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all changes made to the fabric configuration that involve that switch, such as password and zoning changes. You must then restore the switch from an archived configuration or reconfigure the portions of the fabric that involve the switch. 56
