3. Upgrade the FPGA (pbifmetro.bin) image manually.
4. Reload the product.
Deploying unified images to products
The Management application stores previously imported unified images. These images can be
placed in a unified image payload and deployed to products using the Configuration Wizard.
NOTE
Firmware images deploy to products one device at a time. If a combination of cluster nodes is
selected and the standalone VDX switches are targets, the deployment occurs for the cluster nodes
as well as for the standalone VDX switches.
Deleting unified images from the Management application
If a unified image must be deleted from the Management application, perform the following steps.
1. Click the Unified Firmware Images tab on the Firmware Management dialog box.
2. Select the unified image that you want to delete.
3. Click the Delete button.
A confirmation warning displays.
4. Click Yes to continue with the delete, or No to cancel it.
Serial firmware update and activation for NOS devices
With Network OS release 4.0, you can update and activate firmware on an entire cluster (either
logical chassis mode or fabric cluster mode), on selected nodes in the cluster, or on nodes in
standalone mode, by performing the following steps.
1. Click the IP tab in the upper-left corner of the Management application.
2. Select Ethernet Fabrics from the view list on the Product List toolbar.
Cluster node members (or root node) are displayed, depending on your configuration.
3. Select the desired node or nodes for firmware updates and activation.
4. Right-click the highlighted nodes, then select Firmware > Firmware Management.
NOTE
If you are performing a firmware activation (but not a serial update) on only one node, you can
highlight this node, then perform a right-click and select Firmware > Firmware Activate. If this is
the only action you want to perform, you are done and do not need to continue with the steps
below.
5. In the Firmware Management dialog box, click the Unified Firmware Images tab.
6. Click Update.
7. From the Hardware Type list, select VDX.
