Considerations for downgrading firmware 5 Upgrade to 7.2 is not allowed since base switch has R_RDY enabled ports. Please disable the R_RDY enabled ports in base switch using portcfgislmode command. Firmware upgrade to Fabric OS 7.2.0 or higher is not allowed when there are more than 4 chassis connected through Inter-Chassis Links (ICLs) and the Enterprise ICL (EICL) license is not installed in the system. Note that even with an EICL license installed, only 9 chassis are allowed to connect through ICLs. You can either install an EICL license, or you must disable the additional ICL links before performing a firmware upgrade. The following example shows hardware-related messages for a downgrade: ecp:admin> firmwaredownload Type of Firmware (FOS, SAS, or any application) [FOS]: Server Name or IP Address: 10.1.2.3 User Name: userfoo File Name: /home/userfoo/v6.3.0 Network Protocol (1-auto-select, 2-FTP, 3-SCP) [1]: Password: Checking System Settings... Version compatibility check passed. Checking version compatibility... Version compatibility check passed.. The following items must be addressed before downloading the specified firmware: FC8-32E and FC8-48E are not supported by the targeted firmware. Please use slotshow to determine which of these are installed and remove them before continuing. The following messages are displayed if an exception case is encountered during firmware downgrade. The following example shows feature-related messages that you may see if you were downgrading from Fabric OS v7.2.0 to v7.1.0: Downgrade is not allowed as QoS mode is enabled (ON) on some of the ports ( other than E_Port(s) and F_Port with AoQ feature ) and there is no Adaptive Networking license installed on the switch. To proceed further with downgrade either install Adaptive Networking license, or set QoS mode to OFF/AE. Please use "portcfgqos --disable [slot/]port" to set QoS mode on these ports to OFF or use "portcfgqos --default [slot/]port" to set QoS mode on these ports to AE. Downgrade is not allowed as some of the E_Port(s) are using QoS feature and there is no Adaptive Networking license installed on the switch.To proceed further with downgrade either install Adaptive Networking license, or set QoS mode on these ports to OFF. Please use "islshow" to view list of E_Port with QoS feature enabled and use "portcfgqos --disable [slot/]port" to set QoS mode on these ports to OFF. Downgrade to selected version is not allowed. Please remove E-Port Credit configuration using "portcfgdefault" or "portcfgeportcredits --disable" CLI on these ports. Downgrade is not allowed because Flow Vision is configured. Please delete all the flows using "flow" CLI. Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide 57 53-1003141-01
