Troubleshooting firmware downloads A firmware download can fail for many reasons, such as a power failure, a failed network connection, a failed FTP server, or an incorrect path to unpacked firmware files. In most cases, the firmware is not affected. You can make necessary corrections (for example, check the Ethernet cables and check the file path names) and then rerun the firmwareDownload command. NOTE: Under firmware versions earlier than 4.1.0, do not perform a firmware download while the switch is running POST. If a firmware download is attempted on a Core Switch 2/64 while POST is running, the download might fail because the CP blades cannot synchronize with each other. Issue the firmwareShow command to see whether both CP blades have the same firmware. In the following example, the active and standby CP blades have the same version: switch: admin> firmwareshow Local CP (Slot 6, CP1): Standby Primary partition: v5.0.1d Secondary Partition: v5.0.1d Remote CP (Slot 5, CP0): Active Primary partition: v5.0.1d Secondary Partition: v5.0.1d Note: If Local CP and Remote CP have different versions of firmware, please retry firmwaredownload command. switch: admin> Fabric OS 5.x administrator guide 85
