TFTP to Flash Done.

Verify the flash image version by using the show flash command at any level of the CLI.

NOTE
When upgrading the flash image version, the image is automatically updated across all stack
units. For other devices, when upgrading from one major release to another (for example, from
software release 07.1.00 to 07.2.00), make sure that every unit in the traditional stack has the
same code. If you reboot the stack while units are running different code versions, the units will
not be able to communicate.

Reboot the device using the reload or boot system command.

Verify that the new flash image is running on the device by using the show version command.

Load the flash code using SCP

Place the new flash code on a SCP-enabled host to which the Brocade device has access.

If the device has only 8 MB of flash memory or if you want to install a Full Layer 3 image, delete
the primary and secondary images before upgrading the image. If the primary flash contains
additional files that are not related to the software update, delete these that files also.

Copy the flash code from the SCP-enabled host into the flash memory with either the following
command:

scp image-file-name hostname@management-ip:flash:primary | secondary

If you also want to specify the name for the image file on the FastIron device, enter the following
command:

scp image-file-name-on-scp-host hostname@management-ip:flash:pri | sec:image-file-name-on-
device

NOTE
The image-file-name-on-device variable is case-insensitive and converts any upper case
characters in the image filename to lower case characters.

For example:

C:\> scp FCXR08000.bin [email protected]:flash:primary

C:\> scp FCXR08000.bin [email protected]:flash:pri:FCXR08000.bin

C:\> scp FCXR08000.bin [email protected]:flash:secondary

C:\> scp FCXR08000.bin [email protected]:flash:sec:FCXR08000.bin
