Boot image update

You can update a boot image at the host level or at the adapter level.

At the host level, if the HCM version is lower than 2.1, the Upload Boot Image menu is enabled only when one HBA is visible. If the agent version is 2.1 and higher, the Upload Boot Image menu is always enabled if at least one adapter is visible and will update the image to all visible adapters.

Uploading the boot image using HCM

1.Download the boot code (brocade_adapter_boot_fw_v2-1-1-0) from www.brocade.com/hba to a folder on your local drive.

2.Launch HCM.

3.Right-click a host or adapter from the device tree and select Upload Boot Image from the list.

•Right-clicking a host downloads the boot image to all adapters that are installed on the host.

•Right-clicking an adapter downloads the boot image to the selected adapter only.

The Upload Boot Image dialog box displays.

4.Click the Browse button and navigate to the location of the boot image.

5.Select the boot image and click Open.

The selected file downloads. If an error occurs during the downloading process, an error message displays.

Updating the boot image using the BCU

Enter the following command to update the boot image. bcu boot --update[adapter_id] <image_file> [-a]

Refer to “boot” on page 133 for details about this command.
