Installing Firmware
New firmware becomes available periodically either on CD-ROM or from the
QLogic web site. Installing firmware on a switch involves the following steps:
1.
Download the firmware image file to the switch.
2.
Unpack the firmware image file.
3.
Activate the new firmware. The activation can be disruptive or
non-disruptive. Refer to
“Non-disruptive Activation” on page 5-21
for
information about the conditions for a non-disruptive activation.
The
Firmware Install
and the Image Install commands automate the firmware
installation process and perform a disruptive activation as described in
“One-Step
Firmware Installation” on page 5-22
. To perform a nondisruptive activation, refer to
“Custom Firmware Installation” on page 5-24
.
