Code upgrade procedure
The 2109 Model S16 Switch is shipped with the latest level of code. When new
code is released, it can be easily downloaded to the switch. This task requires
saving the data and executable software to the customer's server.
The latest code can be obtained from the SAN Fibre Channel Switch Web site at:
www.ibm.com/storage/fcswitch
This Web site provides instructions for downloading the code and loading it on the
switch. Loading new code to the switch can be done without disrupting the switch.
To make the new code functional, the switch must be turned off and then turned on.
Upgrade procedure
You can download firmware to the switch from either a UNIX host or a Windows NT
host. For a UNIX host, no special software is needed. For a Windows NT host, you
need a daemon to support a remote shell (RSH) with the firmware on the Web site.
This daemon is available from the Web site. Firmware download is by way of a
remote procedure call (RPC) command running on top of transmission control
protocol (TCP) between the switch and the host.
