Upgrading the Controller Card

It is likely that the image version on the new Fabric Controller card will not match the firmware on the
rest of the chassis. After the new Fabric Controller module has been installed, upgrade the firmware on
the chassis and the new Fabric Controller will be upgraded automatically.
The version of the firmware is verified during the upgrade process. If a module does not need to be
upgraded, the module will be skipped and move on to the next module.
The image can be upgraded with the following methods

“Upgrade the Image with the CLI” on page 45

“Upgrade the Image with the Chassis Manager” on page 45

“Upgrade the Image with the Element Manager” on page 45
