Validating a firmware download Validate the firmware download by running the following commands: firmwareShow, firmwareDownloadStatus, nsShow, nsAllShow, and fabricShow. NOTE: When you prepared for the firmware download earlier, you entered either the supportShow or supportSave command. Although you can enter the command again and compare the output from before and after, it may take up to 30 minutes for the command to execute. To save time, HP recommends that you use the commands listed below, which are all subsets of the supportSave output. All of the connected servers, storage, and switches should be present in the output of these commands. If there is a discrepancy, it is possible that a device or switch cannot connect to the fabric and further troubleshooting is necessary. firmwareShow Displays the current firmware level on the switch. For HP StorageWorks Directors, this command displays the firmware loaded on both partitions (primary and secondary) for both CPs and AP blades. HP recommends that you maintain the same firmware level on both partitions of each CP within the HP StorageWorks Director. The command firmwareShow -v will display the firmware version on the Co-CPs.

The event log is created by the current firmwareDownload command and is kept until another firmwareDownload command is entered. There is a timestamp associated with each event. When downloading Fabric OS, the event logs in the two CPs are synchronized. This command can be run from either CP. nsShow Displays all devices directly connected to the switch that have logged into the name server. Make sure the number of attached devices after the firmware download is exactly the same as the number of attached devices prior to the firmware download. nsAllShow Displays all devices connected to a fabric. Make sure the number of attached devices after the firmware download is exactly the same as the number of attached devices prior to the firmware download. fabricShow Displays all switches in a fabric. Make sure the number of switches in the fabric after the firmware download is exactly the same as the number of attached devices prior to the firmware download. Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 231
