HP StorageWorks 4/16 Brocade OS Command Reference Manual Supporting Fabric OS - Page 238

2 firmwareDownload For each non-director-class platform in your fabric, complete all firmware download changes before issuing the firmwareDownload command on the next switch to ensure a nondisruptive download. If firmwareDownload is interrupted due to an unexpected reboot as a result of a software error or power failure, the command will automatically recover the corrupted secondary partition. Wait for the recovery to complete before starting another firmwareDownload. Notes Firmware download procedures may vary depending on which Fabric OS version you are migrating from. See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide "Firmware Download" chapter for restrictions on changing Fabric OS versions. To correlate Brocade blade names with blade IDs, use the slotShow command. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands The following operands are optional. If invoked without operands, the command goes into interactive mode, prompting the user for input. -U Download firmware from an attached USB device on platforms that support a USB port. On a dual CP chassis, the USB device must be attached to the active CP.The USB device must be inserted in the active CP and enabled prior to firmware download with the usbStorage command. Firmware must be stored under the /firmware directory in the USB filesystem. When downloading firmware from a USB device, the -p option is ignored. -s Enables single CP mode. This mode supports selectively enabling or disabling a full install, autoreboot, and autocommit on bladed and non-bladed systems. On bladed systems, this mode supports upgrading a single CP. When downloading the main Fabric OS firmware, this option disables autoreboot, unless overridden by the -b option. -b Enables autoreboot mode. When single CP mode is enabled and this operand is not specified, reboot must be run manually to activate the downloaded image. If autoreboot mode is enabled, the switch reboots automatically after the firmware has been downloaded. -n Disables autocommit mode. When autocommit mode is disabled, the firmwareCommit command must be executed manually to propagate the downloaded image to both partitions of the storage device. host Specify a valid FTP or SSH server name or IP address. IPV4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. The firmware is downloaded from the specified host. If host is not specified, the firmware is considered accessible on a local directory. To mention an FTP server by name, a DNS server must first be set up with the dnsConfig command. If DNS is enabled and a server name is specified, firmwareDownload automatically determines whether IPv4 or IPv6 should be used. user Specify a user name for FTP or SSH server access. This operand can be omitted, if the firmware is accessible on a local directory, a USB device, or via anonymous FTP server access. A user name other than "anonymous" is required for SSH server access. pfile Specify a fully-qualified path for the firmware pfile. Absolute path names may be specified using forward slashes (/). 212 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1000599-01
