Firmware Download Functionality
This section summarizes changes to the firmware download functionality. For
more detailed information refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Version
3.0.x/4.0.x Reference Guide.
firmwaredownload
Use this admin level command to download a new firmware version to a switch.
firmwarecommit
Use this admin level command to commit a new firmware version to both
partitions of flash memory. The SAN Switch 2/32 maintains a primary and
secondary partition for firmware. The firmwaredownload command writes to
the secondary partition only and automatically commits the firmware at the end of
the download process, following a switch reboot.
If you wish to override the auto-commit setting, you must use the "-sn" option on
the switch. See the help page for more details. HP recommends maintaining the
same firmware version on each partition of a switch or CP card.
firmwarerestore
Use this admin level command to delete a new firmware version download from
flash memory and restore the previous version of the firmware from the secondary
partition. This can only be performed if the firmwaredownload was
previously executed with the auto-commit flag disabled.
firmwaredownloadstatus
Use this admin level command to display the status of a firmware download. This
command displays an event log that records the progress and status of the current
firmwaredownload command. The event log is created by the current
firmwaredownload command and is retained until another
firmwaredownload command is issued. A timestamp is associated with each
event.
firmwareshow
Use this user level command to display the firmware version information for the
primary and secondary partitions of flash memory on a switch.
