Firmware Download The Firmware Upgrade Process The firmware upgrade processes are shown for the various switch models. Upgrading the Firmware on the SAN Switch 2/32 Note: The procedure below only applies to upgrading firmware version v4.0.0d or later. The SAN Switch 2/32 maintains a primary and secondary partition for firmware. The firmwaredownload command downloads only to the secondary partition. The firmwaredownload command also has an auto-commit option (which is the default) that automatically commits the firmware to both partitions during the download process. If you over-ride the auto-commit option (on the command line), you must execute this command on the SAN Switch 2/32 manually (not recommended for normal operation). After a reboot, the partitions are swapped. Use the following procedure to download and commit a new firmware version to both partitions of flash memory. To upgrade or restore the switch firmware: 1. Verify that the FTP service is running on the host workstation (or on a Windows machine). 2. Log in to the switch as the admin user. 3. Enter the following command at the command line (double-quotes are optional in 4.x firmware): firmwaredownload "hostIPaddr", "user", "path_filename", "password" - hostIPaddr is the IP address of the host computer. - user is the User ID used to log in to this computer. - path_filename is the path location and filename of the new firmware file. - password is the password for the user ID specified. (Note: the password can be NULL) 78 Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
