•

The switch is a single-CP switch in an interop fabric and does not support Coordinated HotCode

Load.

firmwareDownloadStatus

Displays the status of a firmware download.

Synopsis

firmwaredownloadstatus

Description

Use this command to display an event log that records the progress and status of events during

FOS, SAS, and SA

firmwaredownload

. The event log is created by the current

firmwaredownload

command and is kept until another

firmwaredownload

command is issued. There is a timestamp

associated with each event.

When downloading SAS or SA in systems with two control processor (CP) cards, you can only run

this command on the active CP. When downloading FOS, the event logs in the two CPs are

synchronized. This command can be run from either CP.

Note

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to

“Understanding Virtual Fabric restrictions”

on page 32 and

“Understanding

Admin Domain restrictions”

on page 33 for details.

Operands

none

Examples

The following example shows the status of the

firmwaredownload

for an SAS image to the blades in

slot 2 and 7.

switch:admin>

firmwaredownloadstatus

[1]: Thu Jul 28 00:30:49 2007
