Considerations for downgrading firmware 5 Message Cannot downgrade due to the presence of broadcast zone(s). Remove or disable them before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action If the switch is running v5.3.0 or later, and a "broadcast zone" is configured, you cannot downgrade the switch to v5.2.0 or earlier, as a broadcast zone gets a special meaning in v5.3.0, but it will be treated as regular zone in v5.2.0 or earlier. Use the zoneRemove command to remove the zone or zoneDelete command to delete the zone. Message Cannot downgrade due to LSAN count is set to 3000, please disable it before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action If a switch is running v5.3.0 or later and the LSAN count is at 3000, you cannot downgrade to v5.2.0 or earlier. Use the fcrLsanMatrix command to disable the LSAN. Message Cannot downgrade due to LSAN zone binding is enabled. Please disable it before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action If switch is running v5.3.0 or later, and if LSAN zone binding is enabled, you cannot downgrade to v5.2.0 or earlier. Use the fcrLsanMatrix command to disable the LSAN. Message Cannot upgrade due to the presence of an existing zone named "broadcast". Rename this zone before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action If the switch is running v5.1.0 or v5.2.0, and if an existing zone is named "broadcast", you cannot upgrade the switch to the v5.3.0 firmware, as broadcast zone gets a special meaning in v5.3.0. Use the zoneDelete command to delete the zone. Message The command failed due to the current zone size is not supported by the new firmware. Reduce the size of the configuration before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action The firmware download operation was attempting to downgrade a system to Fabric OS v5.1.0 or earlier and the current zone size is not supported by the firmware version to be downloaded, so the firmware download operation failed. Reduce the zone database size to 256 KB. Verify that the zone size is below the 256 KB limit using the cfgSize command. Retry the firmware download operation.

Considerations for downgrading firmware
5
Message
Cannot downgrade due to the presence of broadcast zone(s). Remove or disable them before
proceeding.
Probable cause and recommended action
If the switch is running v5.3.0 or later, and a “broadcast zone” is configured, you cannot
downgrade the switch to v5.2.0 or earlier, as a broadcast zone gets a special meaning in v5.3.0,
but it will be treated as regular zone in v5.2.0 or earlier.
Use the
zoneRemove
command to remove the zone or
zoneDelete
command to delete the zone.
Message
Cannot downgrade due to LSAN count is set to 3000, please disable it before proceeding.
Probable cause and recommended action
If a switch is running v5.3.0 or later and the LSAN count is at 3000, you cannot downgrade to
v5.2.0 or earlier.
Use the
fcrLsanMatrix
command to disable the LSAN.
Message
Cannot downgrade due to LSAN zone binding is enabled. Please disable it before proceeding.
Probable cause and recommended action
If switch is running v5.3.0 or later, and if LSAN zone binding is enabled, you cannot downgrade to
v5.2.0 or earlier.
Use the
fcrLsanMatrix
command to disable the LSAN.
Message
Cannot upgrade due to the presence of an existing zone named “broadcast”. Rename this zone
before proceeding.
Probable cause and recommended action
If the switch is running v5.1.0 or v5.2.0, and if an existing zone is named “broadcast”, you cannot
upgrade the switch to the v5.3.0 firmware, as broadcast zone gets a special meaning in v5.3.0.
Use the
zoneDelete
command to delete the zone.
Message
The command failed due to the current zone size is not supported by the new firmware. Reduce
the size of the configuration before proceeding.
Probable cause and recommended action
The firmware download operation was attempting to downgrade a system to Fabric OS v5.1.0 or
earlier and the current zone size is not supported by the firmware version to be downloaded, so the
firmware download operation failed.
Reduce the zone database size to 256 KB. Verify that the zone size is below the 256 KB limit using
the
cfgSize
command. Retry the firmware download operation.
