File Management; Saving A Configuration File; Mellanox Technologies Confidential - Mellanox Technologies Mellanox SX1018 User Manual

If one or more of the switch modules is programmed with a firmware version other than the
default version, then MLNX-OS will automatically attempt to burn the default firmware version
instead.
If a firmware update takes place, then the login process will be delayed for a few min-
utes.
To verify that the firmware update was successful, login to MLNX-OS and run the command
"show asic-version" (can be run in any mode). This command lists all of the switch modules
along with their firmware versions. Make sure that all the firmware versions are the same and
match the default firmware version. If the firmware update failed for one or more modules, then
the following warning is displayed.
Warning: Some of the subsystems are not updated with default FW <ver>.
If you detect a firmware version mismatch for one or more modules of the switch sys-
tem, please contact your assigned Mellanox Technologies field application engineer.
4.2.4.2 Importing Firmware and Changing the Default Firmware
To perform an automatic firmware update by MLNX-OS for a different switch firmware version
without changing the MLNX-OS version, import the firmware package as described below.
MLNX-OS sets it as the new default firmware and performs the firmware update automatically
as described in the previous subsections.
Default Firmware Change on Standalone Systems
Import the firmware image (.tgz file). Run:
Step 1.
switch (config) # image fetch
switch (config) # image default-chip-fw fw-SX-rel-9_1_2090.tgz
Default Firmware 9.1.2090 updated. Please save configuration and reboot for new FW to
take effect.
switch (config) #
Save the configuration. Run:
Step 2.
switch (config) # configuration write
switch (config) #
Reboot the system to enable auto update.
Step 3.
