Operands
This command has the following operands:
host Specify a host server name or IP address; for example, “tower” or
“11.22.33.44”. The configuration file or pfile is downloaded from
this host system. If this operand is not used, the pfile is considered
to be accessible through a local directory. This operand is
required.
user Specify a user name for FTP or RSHD server access; for example,
“jdoe”. This user name is used to gain access to the host. This
operand is required.
file
(V3.1.x only)
Specify a path and file name; for example,
/pub/dist/v2.6.0. Absolute path names may be specified
using forward slash (/). Relative path names create the file in the
user’s home directory on UNIX hosts, and in the directory where
the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is
required.
pfile
(V4.1.x only)
Specify a fully qualified path and file name; for example,
/pub/dist/system.plist. Absolute path names may be
specified using forward slash (/). Relative path names create the
file in the user’s home directory on UNIX hosts, and in the directory
where the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is
required.
passwd Specify a password. This operand is required, but may be NULL.
-s
(V4.1.x only)
Specify this operand to enable Single CP Mode. In the
StorageWorks Core switch, this mode enables a user to upgrade a
single CP and to select full-install, auto-reboot, and auto-commit.
In the StorageWorks 2 Gb SAN switch, this mode enables a user to
select full-install, auto- reboot, and auto-commit.
-b
(V4.1.x only)
Specify this operand to activate auto-reboot mode. After
downloading firmware the system must be rebooted. If this
operand is not specified, the user must issue the reboot
command manually in order to activate the downloaded image. If
auto-reboot mode is enabled, the switch reboots automatically
after the firmwareDownload command has been run.
