Download a Firmware Version to a Director

This procedure downloads a selected firmware version from the SDCM Server library to a
director managed by the open instance of the Product Manager application. The procedure
applies to a director with two (redundant) CTP cards. The process occurs concurrently
without taking the director offline or disrupting operation. The new firmware version takes
effect when control is passed from the active to the backup CTP card. Although director
operation is not affected, name server, alias server, and login server functions are
momentarily unavailable during CTP card switchover.
NOTE: When downloading a firmware version, follow procedural information in the Release
Notes that accompany the firmware version. This information supplements information provided
in this general procedure.
