Dell Brocade 6520 Command Reference Supporting Fabric OS v7.1.0 - Page 409

firmwareDownload 2 -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 a 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 by 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 (/). passwd Specify a password. This operand can be omitted, if the firmware is accessible through a local directory or an attached USB device, or if no password is required by the FTP server. This operand is required when accessing an SSH server. In Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later, you can omit the password if the switch is configured as follows: • The switch must be configured with public key authentication. Refer to the sshUtil help page for more information. • You select a secure protocol (SCP or SFTP). • The private key is installed on the switch, and the public key is exported to the remote host. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for configuration procedures. -p scp | ftp | sftp Specify the file transfer protocol. Valid values are ftp (file transfer protocol), sftp (secure file transfer protocol), and scp (secure copy protocol). Values are not case-sensitive. If -p is not specified, firmwareCommit determines the protocol automatically by checking the config.security parameter. -a fos | sas | application Specify the type of firmware to be downloaded. Accepted values are fos, sas, or any valid application name. Values are not case-sensitive. This operand is no longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0. -t slot[,slot]... Specify the target slots for the firmware download. Valid values are a list of slot numbers separated by commas. -c Disables version compatibility checking. By default, firmwareDownload checks if the firmware being downloaded is compatible with other running firmware images in the system. If the firmware version is not compatible, firmwareDownload fails. If this option is specified, version compatibility checking is disabled. Fabric OS Command Reference 381 53-1002746-01
