Installing Firmware
New firmware becomes available periodically either on CD-ROM or from the web
site. Installing firmware on a Switch Module involves the following steps:
1. Download the firmware image file to the Switch Module.
2. Unpack the firmware image file.
3. Activate the new firmware. The activation can be disruptive or
non-disruptive. Refer to “Nondisruptive Activation” on page 4-72 for
information about the conditions for a non-disruptive activation.
The Firmware Install and the Image Install commands automate the firmware
installation process and perform a disruptive activation as described in “One-Step
Firmware Installation” on page 4-73. To perform a nondisruptive activation, refer to
“Custom Firmware Installation” on page 4-74.
Nondisruptive Activation
You can load and activate new firmware on a Switch Module disruptively or
nondisruptively depending on the condition of the fabric and the commands you
choose. If you attempt to perform a non-disruptive activation without satisfying the
following conditions, the activation will fail. If the non-disruptive activation fails,
you will usually be prompted to try again later. Otherwise, the Switch Module will
perform a disruptive activation.
 The current firmware version permits the installation and non-disruptive
activation of 9.0.7 firmware. Refer to the 9.0.7 Firmware Release Notes for
previous compatible firmware versions.
 No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including powering up,
powering down, disconnecting or connecting ISLs, changing switch
configurations, or installing firmware.
 No port on the Switch Module is in the diagnostic state.
 No changes are being made to attached devices including powering up,
powering down, disconnecting, connecting, and adapter configuration
changes.
 Install firmware on one switch at a time in the fabric. If you are installing
firmware on one switch, wait 120 seconds after the activation is complete
before installing firmware on a second switch.
Ports that are stable when the non-disruptive activation begins, then change
states, will be reset. When the non-disruptive activation is complete, QuickTools
sessions reconnect automatically. However, Telnet sessions must be restarted
manually.
