Updating the Switch using the Web Browser Interface
To update the switch using the web browser interface under the MSA Fabric Switch
6 Service tab, see Chapter 3, “MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility.”
Use this screen to set the switch’s parameter and to start the download.
IMPORTANT: The MSA Fabric Switch 6’s IP address and other networking parameters must
be properly set for the download to work.
The IP address shown for the TFTP server must be changed to the IP address running
the TFTP daemon. The IP address field does not have the ability to resolve host
names.
The Management Utility file name must be changed to match the name of the MSA
Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility update file. The Management Utility Boot File
is automatically extracted from the download file by the MSA Fabric Switch 6 once
the transfer is complete. The boot file name needs to be set for a successful update.
Typically, both the timeout and retry parameters do not require resetting unless the
network used is overloaded with other traffic.
With all fields completed correctly and the TFTP daemon running, click on
“Download” to initiate the transfer. The MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility
will report the success or failure of the update.
With all parameters completed correctly and the download completed, reset the
switch. The update will occur automatically following the reset.
Updating the Switch using the Command Line Interface
The MSA Fabric Switch 6 can also be updated using the command line interface. Use
the
tftpdl command to set the MSA Fabric Switch 6 TFTP parameters and to start
the download process. For information about the tftpdl command, see Appendix C,
“Command Line Interface.”
The IP address shown for the TFTP server must be changed to the IP address running
the TFTP daemon. The IP address field does not have the ability to resolve host
names.
