flashDownload
The flashDownload command is used to download firmware into flash
memory. This command can be executed on an operational Switch. A reboot is
required to initiate the new firmware after the download has completed.
Firmware can be downloaded from either a Unix host, Windows95 or NT host.
For a Unix host, no special software is needed. For Windows95 or NT, a
daemon to support a remote shell (RSH) is required. Firmware download is via
RCP command running on top of TCP between the Switch and the host.
A Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch will come with the firmware
preloaded in it. In most cases there is no need to update the firmware on a new
Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch. The firmware version can be
determined from the front panel. The command is listed under the Status
Menu.
Version 1.0 of the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch CD contains
Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch version V1.6b. New
functionality is added with whole number changes, fixes are fractions and
small letters after the fraction determine the final release.
In the event that an upgrade to the firmware of a Compaq StorageWorks Fibre
Channel Switch is needed from the latest version of the Compaq
StorageWorks Fibre Channel Switch CD, use one of the three following
procedures (NT Intel, NTAlpha, Tru64):
To load the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Firmware from a
Compaq PC running NT (NTIntel):
1. Copy the files Rshd.exe and Cat.exe from
D:\DSGGA\Firmware\NTIntel\Rshd.exe,
D:\DSGGA\Firmware\NTIntel\Cat.exe,and
D:\DSGGA\Firmware\NTIntel\V1.6b to the top directory C:\
Where D:\ is the drive letter for the CD and C:\ is the root directory for your
system and V1.6b is the latest version of the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre
Channel Switch Firmware.
2. Double-click on Rshd.exe in the root directory C:\. Rshd will run in a
seperate window. Leave Rsh running. RSH is a small server program
that allows the Switch to request the firmware from the host (PC) over
the Ethernet.
3. Place the cursor over the Start button, press the left mouse button
