Serial firmware update and activation for Network OS 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, and then select Configure > Firmware > Management.
NOTE
If you are performing a firmware activation on only one node, you can right-click the node and
select Configure > Firmware > Management. If this is the only action you want to perform, you
are done and do not need to continue with the following steps.
5. In the Firmware Management dialog box, click the Unified Firmware Images tab.
6. Click Update.
7. From the Hardware Type list, select VDX.
8. Select the Firmware Activate check box to activate firmware in the nodes.
