Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 upgrade procedure
The Core Switch 2/64 has four IP addresses: one for each of the two logical switches (switch 0 and
switch 1) and one for each of the two CP cards (CP0 in slot 5 and CP1 in slot 6). The SAN Director
2/128 in its default configuration has three IP addresses, but it can be configured for four.

firmwaredownload
command automatically upgrades both the active CP card
and the standby CP card. When upgrading a Core Switch 2/64 that is running v4.0.0c or earlier, you
must upgrade each CP card separately, as described in ”
