Dell PowerVault 51F 8-Port Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
fastboot
The
fastboot
command initiates a
warm
reboot that bypasses POST and takes about
one minute to reboot the switch. The switch may be in any operational state (enabled
or disabled) before rebooting.
The following is an example of the
fastboot
command screen.
firmwareDownload
The
firmwareDownload
command downloads firmware into flash memory. This
command
can
be executed on an operational switch. A reboot is required to initiate
the new firmware after the download has completed. The following is an example of
the
firmwareDownload
command screen.
Firmware can be downloaded from a UNIX, Windows 95, or Windows NT host. For a
UNIX host, no special software is needed. For Windows 95 or Windows NT host, the
Dell PowerVault system utilities diskette provides a daemon to support a remote shell
(RSH). A firmware download is executed via an RCP command running on top of
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) between the switch and the host.
To download the firmware, perform the following steps:
1.
Run the
setup.exe
file on the Dell PowerVault system utilities diskette to install
the
rshd.exe
and
cat.exe
utility files on the hard-disk drive.
multicast alias group
Each line shows:
•
The alias group number (01 to 31)
•
The alias group ID
•
The alias token
Alias groups are only created on demand
by requests to the alias server; typically
no groups are listed.
