Upgrading Mbridge Fpga On The Management Module - Brocade Communications Systems PowerConnect B-RX Release Note

NOTE: If you copy the new IronWare image to all interface modules using the all keyword, the
management module makes a copy of the image (called lp-primary-0 or lp-secondary-0) and
stores it in its code flash, thereby synchronizing the new IronWare image on both the interface
and management modules.
If you copy the new IronWare image to a specified chassis slot, the management module does not
make a copy of the image or store it. In this case, the new IronWare image on the interface
module is unsynchronized or different from the IronWare image on the management module.
For more information about synchronizing the new IronWare image or retaining unsynchronized
versions of the IronWare image on the interface and management modules, refer to the section
Rebooting the management module.
Verify that the new IronWare image has been successfully copied by entering the following
3.
command at any level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# show flash
Check for the IronWare image and the date and time at which the image was built.
If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade section for information. If
you have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the management module to
complete the upgrade process. For more information, see Rebooting the management module.

Upgrading MBRIDGE FPGA on the management module

BigIron RX management modules contain an upgradable FPGA images called MBRIDGE and
SBRIDGE. The MBRIDGE and SBRIDGE image installed must be compatible with the software version
you are running on the BigIron RX.
