Fabric OS Commands
296 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
If no operand is specified the operation becomes interactive and you are prompted
for input.
Example
To download the firmware to a V3.1.x switch:
-n
(V4.1.x only)
Specify this operand to de-activate auto-commit mode. By default,
after running this command and after reboot, the switch will
perform a firmwareCommit command automatically. When
this mode is disabled, the user needs to issue the
firmwareCommit command manually to replicate the
downloaded image from the primary partition to the secondary
partition of a CP.
-i
(V4.1.x only)
Specify this operand to enable Incremental Install Mode. By
default, firmwareDownload will do a full install of the whole
firmware regardless of what the original firmware version was on
the system. In Incremental Install Upgrade Mode the names of
packages in pfile are compared to what already installed on the
switch and only the packages which are different from those
already stored or not on the switch yet are installed.
