Probable Cause and Recommended Action
The firmware download operation was attempting to downgrade a system to Fabric OS v5.1.0 or lower
and trunking is enabled on an EX_Port. EX_Port trunking is not supported on firmware v5.1.0 or lower, so
the firmware download operation failed.
Disable the trunking on the EX_Port using the portCfgTrunkPort command, or disable trunking on all
ports on the switch using the switchCfgTrunk command. Retry the firmware download operation.

Message
The command failed due to strict fabric wide policy is configured. Please use the
command to disable it before proceeding.
Probable Cause and Recommended Action
The firmware download operation was attempting to downgrade a system to Fabric OS v5.1.0 or lower
and a strict fabric-wide policy is enabled. The fabric-wide policy can be set to "strict" only when all
switches in the fabric are running firmware v5.2.x or higher, so the firmware download operation failed.
Either reset or disable the fabric-wide policy setting as follows:
• Reset the fabric-wide policy as "tolerant" using the fddCfg --fabWideSet "policyname"
command. The "tolerant" setting allows switches with different firmware versions within the fabric,
however all fabric-wide consistency mechanisms will be applied only to switches running firmware
v5.2.x or higher.
