Installing and Verifying Firmware on the IB Switches
If the fabric contains SilverStorm 9024FC series externally managed switches, Fast
Fabric may be used to aid the installation and configuration of the switches.
Prior to using Fast Fabric the following minimal steps need to be performed:
1.
(Switch)
Select a unique name which will be used for each Switch. This name
will be configured as the IB Node Description for the switch in the steps below.
NOTE:
Externally managed switches do not have an Ethernet port and hence
will not have a TCP/IP name.
2.
(Switch)
Mount or copy the relevant switch firmware CD(s) or files onto the
Fast Fabric management node. During the steps below the *.emfw files on the
CD will be used to upgrade the firmware on each switch.
NOTE:
When copying files its best to place all files at a given firmware level into
a single directory whose name indicates the firmware revision number
Once the above steps have been completed, additional setup of the switches may
be performed using Fast Fabric.

(Switch)
Select the "Externally Managed Switch Admin via Fast Fabric" option
from the main menu.
