To install firmware using the CLI when an FTP server is present on the
management workstation, use the Firmware Install command. For information
about the CLI commands, refer to the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch
Command Line Interface Guide.
1. Type the following commands to download the firmware from a remote host
to the switch, install the firmware, and then reset the switch to activate the
firmware.
Switch #> admin start
Switch #> firmware install
The switch will be reset. This process will cause a
disruption to I/O traffic.
Continuing with this action will terminate all management
sessions,including any Telnet sessions. When the firmware
activation is complete, you may log in to the switch again.
Do you want to continue? [y/n]: y
Press 'q' and the ENTER key to abort this command.
2. Choose the file transfer protocol with which to download the firmware image
file. FTP requires a user account and a password; TFTP does not. For
example:
FTP or TFTP : ftp
3. Type your account name on the remote host (FTP only) and the IP address
of the remote host. When prompted for the source file name, type the path
for the firmware image file. For example:
User Account : johndoe
IP Address : 10.0.0.254
Source Filename : 8.0.00.16_epc
About to install image. Do you want to continue? [y/n] y
4. When prompted to install the new firmware, type y to continue or n to
cancel. Typing y will disrupt traffic. This step is the last opportunity to cancel.
For example:
About to install image. Do you want to continue? [y/n] y
Connected to 10.20.20.200 (10.20.20.200).
