Unzip the downloaded FastIron image files on the TFTP server. This will place the manifest file at
the top of the directory structure with the images in sub directories. Ensure that the Brocade
device has access to the TFTP server.

2.

If upgrading from 08.0.00x, delete the following lines from the manifest text file.

4.

If the FastIron device has only 8 MB of flash memory or if you want to install a Full Layer 3 image
on a device, delete the primary and secondary images before upgrading the image.

NOTE
Make sure that the TFTP server and the image files are reachable before deleting the image from
flash. If the primary flash contains additional files that are not related to the software update, it is
recommended that those files are also deleted.

5.

Manifest file upgrade process does not support download of boot images in a mixed stack.
Therefore, if a newer boot image version is available for upgrade, load the boot code manually in
the stack units of a mixed stack. For detailed steps, see

Load the boot code

on page 36

6.

Enter the following commands to copy the manifest file and the images from the TFTP server to
the device:

copy tftp system-manifest server-ip-address manifest-file-name [ primary | secondary ]

OR

copy tftp system-manifest server-ip-address manifest-file-name [ all-images-primary | all-
images-secondary
]
