Firmware download from a USB device
The Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, 6505, 6510, 6520, 7800, 7840, and VA-40FC switches and the Brocade
DCX, DCX-4S, or DCX 8510 Backbones support a firmware download from a Brocade-branded USB
device attached to the switch or active CP. Before the USB device can be accessed by
thefirmwareDownload command, it must be enabled and mounted as a file system. The firmware
images to be downloaded must be stored under the relative path from /usb/usbstorage/brocade/
firmware or use the absolute path in the USB file system. Multiple images can be stored under this
directory. There is a firmwarekey directory where the public key signed firmware is stored.
When the firmwareDownload command line option, -U (uppercase), is specified, the
firmwareDownload command downloads the specified firmware image from the USB device. When
specifying a path to a firmware image in the USB device, you can only specify the relative path to /
firmware or the absolute path.
NOTE
You must unmount the USB device using the usbStorage -d command before removing the USB
device from the switch.
