Brocade Devices
This software will not telnet connect to some devices if they use the factory default password. You
must set the password to something other than that default. This software does not recognize the
additional prompt asking that default password be changed each time login occurs.
Follow these steps and update firmware on the non-RX devices:
1 Download the firmware update (.zip file) from www.brocade.com
2 Extract that zip file to the download directory of the External FTP file server your system
uses.
3 Create an empty file named release.plist and load into the OS Image manager portlet.
4 Deploy that image, selecting the device and release.plist file loaded in your system. To
deploy the image, select the device(s) and select the
release.plist file in OS Manager.
5 Remove any remaining files before attempting the next Brocade firmware update.
NOTE:
You cannot deploy these updates using this software’s internal FTP server.
For RX devices, download and deploy firmware updates as you ordinarily would, registering the OS
image in the OS Images manager (see the
OS Images section of this guide), and deploying it to
either a device or group with the
action menu.
