Upgrading Firmware via Web Tools
Note
ATTO recommends that before upgrading the
switch firmware, a copy of the switch
configuration file should be saved to the FTP
server using the configupload command.
Refer to Section 5.0 of this guide for
instructions on how to do this.
1
Verify the FTP service is running on a local
network machine with proper access privilege.
2
From a web browser, access the FibreConnect
web tools GUI by typing in the switch IP
address and logging in.
3
Select Switch Admin in the upper left corner of
web tools.
4
Select the Firmware Download tab.
5
Enter the following information:
• Host Name or IP (Enter the IP address of
the FTP server that contains the firmware file
you received from ATTO Support.)
• User Name (access to the FTP root)
• Password (no password is required if
username anonymous is used)
• Protocol Type (FTP)
• Specify Firmware Path (this is the actual
folder location of the unzipped firmware
directory)
6
Click Download.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The process will take roughly 15 minutes.
The ATTO FibreConnect Switch has two
partitions of non-volatile storage areas, a
primary and a secondary, to store two
firmware images. Firmware download
always loads the new image into the
secondary partition and swaps the
secondary partition to be the primary. It
then reboots the CP and activates the new
image. In this way, the switch will continue
to operate during a firmware download.
The LEDs on the switch may turn off but
the switch will continue to pass data during
the firmware download. Configuration,
including zoning, will not be affected by the
upgrade.
