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 in to the active CP blade as
admin
if you are not still logged in 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 in 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 will have to manually issue a reboot after the download finishes to initiate firmwarecommit. Use
all default values, except use USB [Y] so that USB will be 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.
Slot 1 (CP0, active): Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully. Use firmwareshow to
verify the firmware versions.
7. Ensure that you are still logged in to the standby CP blade (the blade for which you just changed the firmware level) and type
reboot
. The reboot of the standby CP will initiate a
firmwarecommit
to the secondary partition and log you out.
