Downloading firmware to a Director

You can download firmware to the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director and DC Director without
disrupting the overall fabric if the two CP blades are installed and fully synchronized. Use the haShow
command to verify that the CPs are synchronized prior to beginning the firmware download process. If only
one CP blade is inserted or powered on, you can run firmwareDownload –s to upgrade the CP. If the
CPs are not in sync, you can run firmwareDownload –s on each of the CPs to upgrade them. These
operations will be disruptive. Or if the CPs are not in sync, run the haSyncStart command. If the
switches" on page 176 for details.
Enter the name or IP address of the FTP server, or SSH server for SCP, where
the firmware file is stored; for example, 192.1.2.3. IP6 and DNS are
supported by firmwareDownload in 5.3.0 and later. If DNS is enabled
and a server name instead of a server IP address is specified in the
command line, firmwareDownload determines whether IP4 or IP6 should
be used.
Enter the user name of your account on the server; for example, "JaneDoe".
v6.0.0 or later: Specify the fully-qualified path name of the firmware
directory, for example, /pub/v6.0.0. Absolute path names may be
specified using forward slashes (/).
Specify the file transfer protocol used to download the firmware from the file
server. Valid values are FTP and SCP. The Values are not case-sensitive. If
"-p" is not specified, firmwareDownload will determine the protocol
automatically by checking the config.security parameter on the switch.
Enter the password for the server. This operand can be omitted if firmware
is accessible through a local directory, or if no password is required by the
FTP or SCP server. This operand is required when accessing an SSH server.
