Selecting a FLASH Download Server
7.1.2Runtime Download
If you select Runtime download, perform the following steps:
1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Reboot After Download field.
2.Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE to select one of the following:
•YES, if you want the ESXMIM to reboot and use the new firmware image immediately.
•NO, if you want the ESXMIM to continue using the existing firmware image without interrupting network operation. The ESXMIM stores the new firmware image in FLASH memory. When you reset the ESXMIM, it boots from FLASH memory using the new image.
7.2SELECTING A FLASH DOWNLOAD SERVER
Directly below the Download Method and Reboot After Download/ Commit to Flash toggle fields are the Download Server and Download File display and input fields. The Download Server input field contains the IP address of the server that the ESXMIM will request a firmware image from. By default, the Download Server field will display the last IP address used for a firmware download. If the same server is to be used to perform the current download, no changes need to be made to the Download Server input field.
The Download File input field contains the file name of the firmware image to be downloaded and the access path used to locate it on the server. By default, the Download File input field will display the last firmware image filename and path used to perform a download to this ESXMIM. If there have been no changes to the server or the file name and path, these defaults can be used without changes being required.
