Switch firmware can also be downloaded from an external USB device on platforms that support USB. The new firmware is downloaded as a bundle of packages. Package names are defined in a *.plist file along with other firmware information (time stamp, platform code, version, etc.). These packages are made available periodically to add features or to remedy defects. Contact customer support to obtain information about available firmware versions. On enterprise-class platforms, this command, by default, downloads the firmware image to both control processors (CPs) in rollover mode to prevent disruption to application services. This operation depends on High Availability (HA) support. If HAis not available, use the -s option to upgrade the CPs one at a time. Fabric OS Command Reference 379 53-1002746-01
