Simplified Package Upgrade
Simplified Upgrade is a single operation that performs a full system upgrade of all the images. It
can be as simple as one command from the CLI or one set-request operation from the SNMP. LP
Auto-upgrade allows the system to automatically upgrade the Boot and FPGA images of an inserted
interface module.
NOTE
This is not applicable to Brocade NetIron CES and Brocade NetIron CER devices.
The system will always enable FPGA Mismatch-check regardless of whether Auto-upgrade is
configured or not. When it finds a mismatch in the FPGA it will put the card to Interactive state with
a reason as FPGA-Mismatched.
The LP Auto-upgrade will be modified to start only if the card state is Interactive and the reason is
FPGA Mismatched. Since an FPGA mismatch-check has already been done outside the
Auto-upgrade, it can proceed to upgrade all the FPGA images applicable to the card.
NOTE
LP Auto-upgrade will only upgrade the FPGA images.
NOTE
LP auto-upgrade is not supported in FIPS mode.
When downgrading from SHA256 signed packages to SHA1 signed packages the following errors
might be seen:
TFTP: Download to flash done.
TFTP: Download to flash failed - Server Message: File not found
Failed to rename manifest_tmp.sig into manifest.sig
NOTE
If this is a downgrade to 5.6B or earlier, the above errors may be ignored.
Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX Series single-command
(full-system) upgrade
There is no change in the syntax for the full-system upgrade; however, the expected behavior for the
keyword “all-images” has changed.
Syntax: copy tftp system [all-images]
secondary]
Syntax: copy
secondary]
NOTE
BOOT images are not included in the upgrade process. The optional keyword “all-images” specifies
to include only the MP FPGA images (MBRIDGE/MBRIDGE32 and SBRIDGE/HSBRIDGE).
