Complete the following steps to download the firmware from an FTP server.
1. Log in to the standby CP blade as admin. If you need to know the IP address of the standby blade, run ipaddrshow.
You should remain logged in to the active CP blade in order to monitor it.
2. Run firmwareDownload -s to download the firmware to the standby CP blade. The -s option also disables the
autoreboot, so you will have to manually issue a reboot after the download finishes to initiate firmwarecommit. Enter
all requested information (use default values).
3. When the download process finishes, run firmwareDownloadStatus to verify that the firmware has been updated.
The command displays a running account of the progress of the firmwareDownload command (if it is still running)
until the command has completed. The final message is similar to the following and will appear with a date and time
stamp.
NOTE
The slot number for the CP blade is different for a chassis with slots for four port blades and a chassis with
slots for eight port blades. The slot number in the following example is for a chassis with slots for four port
blades.
Slot 4 (CP0, active): Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully. Use firmwareshow to verify the
firmware versions.
4. On the standby CP blade (the blade for which you just changed the firmware level), run reboot. The reboot of the
standby CP will initiate a firmwarecommit to the secondary partition and log you out.
