Considerations for downgrading firmware 5 Use the slotShow command to display which slots the Brocade FC8-18 AP blades occupy. Physically remove the blades from the chassis, or use the micro-switch to turn the blade off. Retry the firmware download operation. Message Message Message Firmware versions These messages refer to differences between the current firmware and the firmware you are applying to the switch. Cannot upgrade directly to v6.3.0. Upgrade your switch to v6.2.0 first before upgrading to the requested version. Probable cause and recommended action If the switch is running v6.1.0 or earlier, you are not allowed to upgrade directly to v6.3.0 because of the "two-version" rule. Upgrade your switch to Fabric OS version v6.2.0 before upgrading to v6.3.0 Non-disruptive firmwaredownload is not supported when downgrading to 6.1. Please use firmwaredownload -s to download the 6.1 firmware. Probable cause and recommended action If the switch is running v6.2.0, you will not be allowed to downgrade directly to v6.1.x without causing disruption to your fabric. Downgrade using the firmwareDownload -s command. For more information on using this command, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Firmwaredownload of blade application firmware failed. Reissue firmwareDownload to recover. Probable cause and recommended action The firmware download operation was attempting to upgrade the SAS image while the blade was operational. Retry the firmwaredownload command again. Platform These messages are switch features or fabric-wide settings that need to be removed or disabled before downgrading the firmware. Message Downgrade is not allowed because VF is enabled. Please run "lscfg --config" and "lscfg --delete" commands to remove the non-default LS first, then run "fosconfig --disable vf" to disable VF before proceeding. Probable cause and recommended action You cannot downgrade because Virtual Fabrics are enabled. Delete the logical switches, delete the base switch, and disable Virtual Fabrics prior to downgrading the firmware. Fabric OS Troubleshoot and Diagnostics Guide 47 53-1001340-01
