Using the CLI to install firmware
The method you choose to install firmware using the CLI depends on the type of firmware activation you
want.
• For a disruptive activation, enter the firmware install or image install command to
download the firmware image file from an FTP or TFTP server, unpack it, and activate it in one step. See
”One-step firmware installation” (page 42).
• For a non-disruptive activation, enter the image fetch command to download the firmware image
file from an FTP or TFTP server. Enter the image unpack command to unpack the image file, then
enter the hotreset command to perform a non-disruptive activation. See ”Custom firmware
installation” (page 43).
For information about the CLI commands, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
Command Line Interface Guide.
