Firmware download scenarios ∙ Brocade X6-4 and Brocade X6-8 Directors If you are using Windows, open a file browser and navigate to the brocade/firmware directory on the USB device. You can then drag the unzipped firmware image files from where you downloaded them to this directory. Multiple images can be stored under this directory. If you are using Linux, the USB device must be enabled and mounted as a file system. Once you have done this, copy the unzipped firmware images to be downloaded to /usb/usbstorage/brocade/firmware. Alternatively, you can use the absolute path in the USB file system to the same directory. When you enter firmwaredownload with the -U (uppercase 'U') option, the firmwaredownload command downloads the specified firmware image from the USB device. When specifying a path to a firmware image in the USB device, you can only specify the relative path to /firmware or the absolute path. NOTE Before removing the USB device from the switch or Director, you must unmount the USB device using either the "eject" command in Windows or usbstorage -d in Linux. Enabling the USB device 1.
