Managing firmware
The switch module memory is partitioned for two firmware images. This is useful when you are upgrading
firmware so that both the old and new firmware are maintained on the switch module. When you load new
firmware, the currently active firmware is preserved and the new firmware becomes the second image or the
fallback version. You can activate either firmware image. If you activate the fallback firmware, the current
firmware becomes the fallback version.
Loading firmware
The switch module does not have to be offline for you to download firmware. However, the switch module
must be reset to activate the new firmware, which requires administrative authority. The SAN Utility prompts
you to reset the switch module after the firmware is loaded.
