Downloads firmware from a remote host to the switch, installs the firmware, then
resets the switch (without a power-on self test) to activate the firmware. If
possible, a non-disruptive activation is performed. The command prompts you for
the following:
IP address of the remote host
An account name and password on the remote host
Pathname for the firmware image file
Authority Admin
Syntax firmware install
Examples The following is an example of the Firmware Install command:
SANbox2 (admin) #> firmware install
Warning: Installing new firmware requires a switch reset.
A stable farbic is required to successfully activate the firmware on a
switch without disrupting traffic. Therefore, before continuing with
this action, ensure there are no administrative changes in progress
anywhere in the fabric.
Continuing with this action will terminate all management sessions,
including any Telnet sessions. When the firmware activation is complete,
you may log in to the switch again.
