Downloading the firmware from a remote server

Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to perform firmware download in the default
mode. Do not disable autocommit mode unless you want to evaluate a firmware upgrade before
committing to it. Refer to

“Evaluating a firmware upgrade”

on page 59 for details about overriding

the autocommit mode.

When upgrading multiple switches, complete the following steps on each switch before you
upgrade the next one.

1. Verify that the FTP or SSH server is running on the remote server and that you have a valid user

ID and password on that server.

2. Download the firmware package from the Brocade website and store the file on the FTP or SSH

server.

To download the firmware from an attached USB device, refer to

“Downloading firmware from a

USB device”

on page 58.

3. Decompress the firmware archive.

4. Connect to the switch or management module you are upgrading.

5. Obtain the switch firmware version information. Refer to

“Obtaining the switch firmware

version”

on page 54 for details.

6. Issue the / action in the urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-firmware

namespace to perform the firmware download operation. Provide the following input elements:

—The user ID on the remote server

—The user password

—The IPv4 or IPv6 IP address

—The directory on the remote server where the firmware file is located

—The firmware filename

The reply message contains a session ID in the element.

NOTE

To be able to mention the FTP server by name, a Domain Name System (DNS) entry must exist
for the server.
