Upgrading Firmware Using a Telnet
Command
Use the
firmwareDownload
command in a Telnet session to download new firmware. The
command downloads firmware into flash memory. This command can be executed on an
operational switch. Use the
reboot
command to restart the switch element and initiate the
new firmware after the download has completed.
The firmware can be downloaded from a UNIX host, Windows 95 host, or Windows NT
host. For a UNIX host, no special software is needed. For Windows 95 or Windows NT, a
daemon to support a Remote Shell is required. Firmware is downloaded through an
RCP
command running on top of TCP between the switch and the host.
To upgrade the firmware in a switch element, use the StorageWorks SAN Switch Software
V2.x.x CD. Use one of the following three procedures, either Windows NT Intel,
Windows NT Alpha, or Compaq Tru64 UNIX.
Windows NT Intel Host
To load the firmware from a Compaq PC running Windows NT Intel:
1. Copy the files RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE to the root directory (for example, C) on the
host system. These files are found in
D:\DSGGB\FIRMWARE\NTINTEL\RSHD.EXE
D:\DSGGB\Firmware\NTIntel\CAT.EXE
D:\DSGGB\FIRMWARE\NTINTEL\V2.x.x
where D:\ is the drive letter for the CD and Version 2.x.x is the latest version of
firmware.
2. Double-click RSHD.EXE. RSHD is a server program that allows the switch to request
the firmware from the host over an Ethernet connection. Leave RSHD running in a
separate window.
3. Click Start, then Run and enter the
TELNET
command.
4. Click Connect, then Remote System.
5. In the Host Name field, type the IP address of your switch element and click the
Connect button.
