86 Maintaining configurations and firmware

Decide which firmware version you want to be applied to each CP blade. If you want the version on the

standby CP, issue the haFailover command on the active CP. If you want the version from the active CP,

issue the firmwareDownload -s command on the standby CP. After entering the haFailover

command, you must issue the firmwareDownload -s command on the new standby CP.
