5. Log back on to the standby CP blade and run
firmwareDownloadStatus
on the standby CP blade to validate a
successful commit. This may take 10 minutes.
6. If you are upgrading through several levels of the Fabric OS, repeat Step 2 through Step 5 as often as necessary
based on the path outlined in the preceding table. Otherwise, proceed to Step 7.
7. Log out of the standby CP blade and log on to the active CP blade.
8. Proceed to the procedures for verifying operation of the new CP blade.
Downloading Firmware from a USB Device
For this task, determine the correct sequence of upgrading firmware versions to reach your target version.
This section assumes that the new firmware has already been copied onto the USB device. Although folders are optional,
if an administrator desires to use them, the folder structure on the USB device might be as follows:
•
brocade>
–
config
–
firmware (Contains the specific release you are installing)
–
firmwareKey
–
support
Complete the following steps to download the firmware from a USB device to the replacement blade.
1. Insert the USB device into the active CP blade.
2. Attach a serial cable from the PC to the active CP blade.
3. Log on to the active CP blade as
admin
if you are not still logged on and enter
usbStorage -e
to enable the USB
device.
4. Remove the serial cable from the active CP blade and attach it to the standby CP blade and log on as
admin
.
5. Run
firmwareDownload -s
to download the firmware to the standby CP blade. Enter all requested information.
The
-s
option disables the autoreboot, so you need to manually issue a reboot after the download finishes to initiate a
firmwarecommit
. Use all default values, except for USB [Y]. (This ensures that USB is used for downloading.)
6. When the download process finishes, run
firmwareDownloadStatus
to verify that the firmware has been updated.
The command displays a running account of the progress of the
firmwareDownload
command until the command
has completed. The final message is similar to the following and will appear with a date and time stamp.
