5 Firmware download issues Symptom Symptom Symptom Password: Server IP: 192.126.168.115, Protocol IPv4 Checking system settings for firmwaredownload... Firmware access timeout. The server is inaccessible or firmware path is invalid. Please make sure the server name or IP address, the user/password and the firmware path are valid. Cannot download the requested firmware. Probable cause and recommended action The firmware you are trying to download on the switch is incompatible. Check the firmware version against the switch type. If the firmware is incompatible, retrieve the correct firmware version and try again. Example of error message SW3900:admin> firmwaredownload Server Name or IP Address: 192.168.126.115 User Name: userFoo File Name: /users/home/userFoo/firmware/v7.0.0 Network Protocol(1-auto-select, 2-FTP, 3-SCP) [1]: 2 Password: Server IP: 192.126.168.115, Protocol IPv4 Checking system settings for firmwaredownload... Cannot download the requested firmware because the firmware doesn't support this platform. Please enter another firmware path. Cannot download on a switch with Interop mode turned on. Probable cause and recommended action On single CP, Interop fabric does not support Coordinated HotCode Load. Perform a firmwareDownload -o command. The operand bypasses the checking of Coordinated HotCode Load (HCL). On single CP systems in interop fabrics, the HCL protocol is used to ensure data traffic is not disrupted during firmware upgrades. This option allows a firmware download to continue even if HCL is not supported in the fabric or the protocol fails. Using this option may cause traffic disruption for some switches in the fabric. You receive a "firmwaredownload is already in progress" message. Probable cause and recommended action The firmware download process has already been started and it is in progress. Wait till it completes. You can use the firmwareDownloadStatus and firmwareShow commands to monitor its progress. If the problem persists, contact your switch support provider. Example of a firmwaredownload already in progress switch:admin> firmwaredownload Server Name or IP Address: 192.126.168.115 User Name: userFoo File Name: /users/home/userFoo/firmware/v7.0.0 Network Protocol(1-auto-select, 2-FTP, 3-SCP) [1]: 2 Password: Server IP: 192.126.168.115, Protocol IPv4 Checking system settings for firmwaredownload... Sanity check failed because firmwaredownload is already in progress. 54 Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide 53-1002150-02
