Custom firmware installation

A custom firmware installation downloads the firmware image file from an FTP or TFTP server to the switch,
unpacks the image file, and resets the switch in separate steps. This allows you to choose the type of switch
reset and whether the activation will be disruptive (reset switch command) or nondisruptive
(hotreset command). The following example illustrates a custom firmware installation with a
nondisruptive activation.
1. Download the firmware image file from the server to the switch.
• If your server has an FTP server, you can enter the image fetch command:
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> image fetch account_name ip_address
filename
• If your server has a TFTP server, you can enter the image tftp command to download the
firmware image file.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> image tftp ip_address filename
• If your server has neither an FTP nor a TFTP server, open an FTP session and enter FTP commands:
>ftp ip_address or switchname
user:images
password: images
ftp>bin
ftp>put filename
ftp>quit
2. Display the list of firmware image files on the switch to confirm that the file was loaded.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) $>image list
3. Unpack the firmware image file to install the new firmware in flash memory.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) $>image unpack filename
4. Wait for the unpack to complete.
image unpack command result: Passed
5. A message will prompt you to reset the switch to activate the firmware. Use the hotreset command to
attempt a non-disruptive activation.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) $>hotreset
