Installing Firmware
Installing firmware involves loading, unpacking, and activating the firmware image
on the switch. SANsurfer Switch Manager does this in one operation. To provide
consistent performance throughout the fabric, ensure that all switches are running
the same version of firmware.
The pending firmware version will differ from the active version during the brief
period while the switch is resetting to activate the firmware. Firmware
management tools enable you to install and activate new firmware.
