firmware. The
firmwareDownload
command defaults to an autocommit option that automatically copies
the firmware from one partition to the other.
You should not override autocommit under normal circumstances; use the default. Refer to
Testing and
restoring firmware-on Directors
, page 161 for details about overriding the autocommit option.
Summary of the firmware download process
The following summary describes the default behavior after you enter the
firmwareDownload
command
(without options) on 4/16 SAN Switch and 4/8 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN
Switch 2/32, SAN Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch and 400 MP Router models:
•
The Fabric OS downloads the firmware to the secondary partition.
•
The system performs a high-availability reboot (
haReboot

haReboot
, the former
secondary partition is the primary partition.
•
The system replicates the firmware from the primary to the secondary partition.
4/16 SAN Switch and 4/8 SAN Switch, SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch
2/32, SAN Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch and 400 MP Router firmware download procedure
The upgrade process first downloads and then commits the firmware to the switch. While the upgrade is
proceeding, you can start another telnet session on the switch and observe the upgrade progress if
you wish.
NOTE: After you start the process, do not enter any disruptive commands (such as
reboot
) that will
interrupt the process. The entire firmware download and commit process takes approximately 17 minutes. If
there is a problem, wait for the time-out (30 minutes for network problems). Disrupting the process can
render the switch inoperable and require you to seek assistance from HP.
Do not disconnect the switch from power during the process, because the switch could becaome
inoperable upon reboot.
