10.Delete the extra directory information (/Inetpub/ftproot/).
The Firmware File field should now contain only the following (for 4.x switches):
4.4.x/v4.4.0_rc1
11.Add release.plist to the end of the 4.x path:
4.4.x/v4.4.0_rc1/release.plist
12.Select Select Protocol > FTP.
13.From the SAN Elements tab, select the switches that you want to upgrade and move them to the
Selected Switches panel. You can do this any of the following ways:
• Click a switch name and then click the right arrow.
• Drag a switch name from the SAN Elements tab into the Selected Switches panel.
• Control-click multiple switch names and then click the right arrow.
• Control-click multiple switches and then drag the switch names from the SAN Elements tab into the
Selected Switches panel.
• Drag a fabric name from the SAN Elements tab into the Selected Switches panel to add all of the
switches from that fabric.
NOTE: If you want to download firmware to a dual-switch chassis, you need to select only one of its
logical switches. Both switches are upgraded. If you add both of the logical switches from a dual-switch
chassis to the Selected Switches panel, you receive a warning when you click Download. In the Firmware
Download to Switches window, when you select one logical switch in a dual-switch chassis the other switch
is grayed out.
14.Click Download. For switches running firmware earlier than Fabric OS 4.0, you must click Reboot to
open the Sequenced Reboot window when the download completes.
NOTE: If the switch loses network connectivity during the firmware download from Fabric Manager, the
firmware download action times out after approximately 25 minutes for switches running Fabric OS 2.x or
Fabric OS 3.x, and after approximately 80 minutes for switches running Fabric OS 4.x. An error message
is not returned when the firmware download is interrupted.
Controlling firmware download reboots
Switches running a firmware version earlier than Fabric OS 4.0 do not reboot after a firmware download.
You can create a download sequence to control the order that the switches reboot. See ”Performing a
sequenced reboot” on page 163 for additional information.
For switches running firmware versions later than Fabric OS 4.0, a Reboot column in the Firmware
Download to Switches window (Figure 95 on page 155) displays reboot information:
• Automatic—reboot occurs after firmware download.
• Manual—you must manually reboot the switch.
• Not Applicable—there is no firmware available in the repository matching the selected switch type.
Downloading firmware to HBAs
Fabric Manager supports up to 50 firmware downloads to multiple HBAs simultaneously.
Emulex is the only vendor currently supporting Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) for its HBA.
Emulex also has drivers for Windows 2000, 2003, and Solaris. Fabric Manager supports only the Emulex
HBA with the following drivers for the FDMI-based firmware downloads:
• Miniport Driver 5-5.02a3 (Windows 2000), Firmware 3.92A2
• Miniport Driver 5-1.02a3 (Windows 2000), Firmware 3.92A2
