OAM Overview
For easy software image management, all Brocade devices support the download and upload of
software images between the flash modules on the devices and a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
server on the network.
Brocade devices have two flash memory modules:
• Primary flash - The default local storage device for image files and configuration files.
• Secondary flash - A second flash storage device. You can use the secondary flash to store
redundant images for additional booting reliability or to preserve one software image while testing
another one.
Only one flash device is active at a time. By default, the primary image will become active upon reload.
You can update the software contained on a flash module using TFTP to copy the update image from a
TFTP server onto the flash module. In addition, you can copy software images and configuration files
from a flash module to a TFTP server.
