Downloading Firmware from FTP Server
For this task, determine the correct sequence of upgrading firmware versions to reach your target version.
Complete the following steps to download the firmware from an FTP server to the replacement blade.
1. Log on to the standby CP blade as admin . If you need to know the IP address of the standby blade, run ipaddrshow
.
You should remain logged on to the active CP blade in order to monitor it.
2. Run firmwareDownload -s to download the firmware to the replacement (standby) CP blade. The -s option
also disables the autoreboot, so you will have to manually issue a reboot after the download finishes to initiate a
firmwarecommit . Enter all requested information (use default values).
3. When the download process finishes, run firmwareDownloadStatus to verify that the firmware has been updated.
The command displays a running account of the progress of the firmwareDownload command (if it is still running)
until the command has completed. The final message is similar to the following and will appear with a date and time
stamp.
