Loading New Switch Control Code into Flash
Load new flash code only under the direction of QLogic Customer Support.
QLogic will make this code available over the Internet. Move this executable
module into your local management station.
If the file transfer succeeds, the new Switch control code is saved in the Switch
flash, and will be executed the next time the Switch is reset. A reset operation takes
place when the Switch power is cycled, or when reset using TFTP. Refer to the
reset paragraph on the next page.
If the Switch load process fails for any reason, the Switch control code saved in the
Switch flash is not valid and must be reloaded. If the Switch is reset with an invalid
control code in the Switch flash, it will automatically enter PROM mode. In
PROM mode, the Switch will not switch data traffic through the Fibre Channel
ports until a valid executable module is downloaded.
