Firmware upgrade in Brocade VCS Fabric mode
In the Network OS v4.1.1 release, the firmware download operation supports local switch upgrades
only. To upgrade the entire cluster, you must issue the firmware download operation on each switch
separately. For each switch in the fabric, complete the firmware download on the current switch
before initiating a firmware download on the next switch. This process minimizes traffic disruption
between switches.
Issue the <fwdl-status> custom RPC to verify that the download process is complete, and then
move on to the next switch.
