Downloading firmware from a USB device
For this task, refer to Table 14 on page 94 for the correct sequence of upgrading
firmware versions to reach your target version. Complete the following steps to
download the firmware from a USB device.
This section assumes that the new firmware has already been copied onto the USB
device. The folder structure on the USB device must be as follows in order to allow
the device to be enabled:
brocade>
config
firmware
firmwareKey
support
The firmware folder contains the folder for the specific release you are installing.
1. Insert the USB device into the USB port of 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 -U vX.X.X (where X.X.X is the firmware version
you are downloading) to download the firmware to the standby CP blade.
The
-s option also disables the autoreboot, so you will have to manually issue
a reboot after the download finishes to initiate firmwarecommit. Enter all
requested information (use default values). The following example shows the
results of running firmwaredownload for Fabric OS version 7.0.0a.
