X7-8 Director Hardware Installation Guide
Complete the following steps to download the firmware from a USB device to the replacement blade.
1. Insert the USB device into the active CP blade.
2. Attach a serial cable from the PC to the active CP blade.
3. Log on to the active CP blade as admin if you are not still logged on and enter usbStorage -e to enable the USB
device.
4. Remove the serial cable from the active CP blade and attach it to the standby CP blade and log on as admin .
5. Run firmwareDownload -s to download the firmware to the standby CP blade. Enter all requested information.
The -s option disables the autoreboot, so you need to manually issue a reboot after the download finishes to initiate a
firmwarecommit . Use all default values, except for USB [Y]. (This ensures that USB is used for downloading.)
6. 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 until the command
has completed. The final message is similar to the following and will appear with a date and time stamp.
Slot 1 (CP0, active): Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully. Use firmwareshow to verify the
firmware versions.
7. Ensure that you are still logged on to the standby CP blade (the blade for which you just changed the firmware level)
and type reboot . The reboot of the standby CP will initiate a firmwarecommit to the secondary partition and log
you out.
