Firmware installation
This section describes switch firmware installation information.
Upgrading earlier version of firmware
Upgrading to firmware version 6.4.0.06.00 from version 5.2.2.15.00, 5.2.1.04.00, or 5.2.0.29.00 is
non-disruptive to attached devices. The switch is not required to be offline prior to performing an upgrade
operation. You can use the Element Manager, McDATA Web Server, or the Command Line Interface
(CLI) to install new firmware.
NOTE:
To allow a Non-disruptive Code Load and Activation (NDCLA) with firmware versions earlier than
5.2.2.15.00, only one of these management applications (Element Manager, McDATA Web Server, or
the CLI) can be running during the upgrade process.
