Using QuickTools to Install Firmware

To install firmware using QuickTools:

1. In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Load Firmware.

2. In the Firmware Upload dialog, click Browse, and then select the firmware

file to be uploaded.

3. Click Start to begin the firmware load process.

A message appears indicating that the switch will be reset to activate the

firmware.

4. QuickTools prompts you to activate the new firmware using a hot

(non-disruptive) reset, if possible. Click OK to reset the switch and activate

the new firmware.

Using the CLI to Install Firmware

Choose one of the following firmware installation methods:

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 then activate it in one step. Refer to “One-Step Firmware

Installation” on page 3-15.

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, and then enter the

Hotreset command to perform a non-disruptive activation. Refer to “Custom

Firmware Installation” on page 3-17.

For more information about CLI commands, refer to the QLogic 5800V Series

Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.

One-Step Firmware Installation

The Firmware Install and Image Install commands download the firmware image

file from an FTP or TFTP server to the switch, unpack the image file, and perform

a disruptive activation in one step. The installation process prompts you to type

the following:

NOTE:

After upgrading firmware that includes changes to QuickTools, an open

QuickTools session may issue a message indicating that the firmware is not

supported. This message means that the new firmware is not supported by

the previous QuickTools version. To correct this, close the QuickTools

session and the browser window, and then open a new QuickTools session.
