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 3-24.

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 3-26.

Refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Command Line

Interface Guide for information about the CLI commands.

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, unpacks the image file, and

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