firmwareDownload

2

-n

Disables autocommit mode. When autocommit mode is disabled, the
firmwareCommit command must be executed manually to propagate the
downloaded image to both partitions of the storage device.

host

Specify a valid FTP or SSH server name or IP address. IPV4 and IPv6 addresses
are supported. The firmware is downloaded from the specified host. If a host is not
specified, the firmware is considered accessible on a local directory. To mention
an FTP server by name, a DNS server must first be set up with the dnsConfig
command. If DNS is enabled and a server name is specified, firmwareDownload
automatically determines whether IPv4 or IPv6 should be used.

user

Specify a user name for FTP or SSH server access. This operand can be omitted,
if the firmware is accessible on a local directory, a USB device, or by anonymous
FTP server access. A user name other than "anonymous" is required for SSH
server access.

pfile

Specify a fully qualified path for the firmware pfile. Absolute path names may be
specified using forward slashes (/).

passwd

Specify a password. This operand can be omitted, if the firmware is accessible
through a local directory or an attached USB device, or if no password is required
by the FTP server. This operand is required when accessing an SSH server. In
Fabric OS v7.0.0 or later, you can omit the password if the switch is configured as
follows:

The switch must be configured with public key authentication. Refer to the
sshUtil help page for more information.

You select a secure protocol (SCP or SFTP).

The private key is installed on the switch, and the public key is exported to the
remote host. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for configuration
procedures.

-p scp | ftp | sftp

Specify the file transfer protocol. Valid values are ftp (file transfer protocol), sftp
(secure file transfer protocol), and scp (secure copy protocol). Values are not
case-sensitive. If -p is not specified, firmwareCommit determines the protocol
automatically by checking the config.security parameter.

-a fos | sas | application

Specify the type of firmware to be downloaded. Accepted values are fos, sas, or
any valid application name. Values are not case-sensitive. This operand is no
longer supported as of Fabric OS v7.0.0.

-t slot[,slot]...

Specify the target slots for the firmware download. Valid values are a list of slot
numbers separated by commas.

-c

Disables version compatibility checking. By default, firmwareDownload checks if
the firmware being downloaded is compatible with other running firmware images
in the system. If the firmware version is not compatible, firmwareDownload fails.
If this option is specified, version compatibility checking is disabled.
