Release 1.1
This section describes how to download software Release 1.1.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to perform any management tasks while you
are downloading software.
Download procedure
for a chassis using a
secondary SFMM
If you do not know which software version is
loaded on a newly purchased SFMM:
All SFMM currently shipping are loaded with software Release 1.1.
However, some of the earlier SFMM in stock may be loaded with Release
1.01. If you are not sure which version is loaded on the module you want
to use for the backup SFMM, first try upgrading your system according to
the following procedure.
1 DO NOT insert the new SFMM into slot M2 yet.
2 With the chassis running, upgrade the existing single SFMM with
software Release 1.1 as described in “Downloading to an SFMM,” page 21.
3 After you have successfully upgraded the primary SFMM, insert the new
SFMM into slot M2.
4 Depending on the software revision loaded in the new SFMM, the system
will display one of the message sequences shown below.
■ If the new SFMM is loaded with software Revision 1.1, the system will
synchronize all configuration information from the SFMM
in slot M1 to
the new SFMM in slot M2, displaying the following messages:
“Starts to sync all of the EE data to backup agent, EE Version = 0004
Number of EE sections to be synced = xx
EE Synchronization is completed, total xx sections are synced”
The secondary SFMM is now functioning.
■ However, if the secondary SFMM is loaded with software Release
1.01, the upgrade procedure will not complete successfully. Instead,
the console for the primary SFMM will display the following messages:
“EE Version Incompatible, Master EE Version = 4, Slave EE Version = 0000
EE Synchronization aborts”
And the console interface for backup SFMM will show that the
bootup process has stalled at “Chassis Backup Master...”
If you see these messages, then remove the backup SFMM (loaded
with software Revision V1.01), and upgrade the system according to
the following procedure “If you have an earlier SFMM that is loaded
with software Release 1.01” shown on page 20.
