Troubleshooting firmware downloads
A firmware download can fail for many reasons, such as a power failure, a failed network connection, a
failed FTP server, or an incorrect path to unpacked firmware files. In most cases, the firmware is not
affected. You can make necessary corrections (for example, check the Ethernet cables and check the file
path names) and then rerun the
firmwareDownload
command.
NOTE: Under firmware versions earlier than 4.1.0, do not perform a firmware download while the
switch is running POST. If a firmware download is attempted on a Core Switch 2/64 while POST is
running, the download might fail because the CP blades cannot synchronize with each other.
Issue the
firmwareShow
command to see whether both CP blades have the same firmware. In the
following example, the active and standby CP blades have the same version:
