Using the CLI to Install Firmware

The method you choose to install firmware using the CLI depends on the type of firmware activation you want.

For a disruptive activation, enter the Firmware Install or Image Install command to download the firmware image file from an FTP or TFTP server, unpack it, and activate it in one step. Refer to “One-Step Firmware Installation” on page 4-18.

For a non-disruptive activation, enter the Image Fetch command to download the firmware image file from an FTP or TFTP server. Enter the Image Unpack command to unpack the image file, then enter the Hotreset command to perform a non-disruptive activation. Refer to “Custom Firmware Installation” on page 4-20.

Refer to the SANbox 5000 Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about the CLI commands.
