This problem, Sun Bug 6395973, has been addressed in FOS 5.2.0a. Patch Installation Instructions: -------------------------------- This is not an OS patch and is not installed with the standard Solaris patchadd(1M) command. After unpacking the patch, follow the "Special Install Instructions" below to upgrade the FC switch firmware. This patch contains firmware which is installed on the Brocade SilkWorm 200E/3250/3850/3900/4100 and 24000/48000 FC switch model. To install using other platforms, minimum FTP services is required. Please see Brocade document 53-1000239-01. Prerequisites for installing the new firmware include: * FTP server (solaris host). * An Ethernet connection from a Solaris host to the Brocade Switch. To use an Ethernet connection, the Brocade FC switch must have an IP address assigned and the user must know the admin password assigned to the switch. Unpack the patch into any convenient directory such as /var/tmp, and refer to the Special Install Instructions below. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- Sun supports firmware upgrades within two feature releases (a feature release is a major release indicated by the second digit "Y" of the release number, for example, X.Y.Z); while upgrades of two releases is supported, single release upgrades are recommended. Following are the major upgrade versions for the Fabric OS: - v4.0x - v4.1x - v4.2x - v4.4x - v5.0x - v5.1x This firmware upgrade procedure will not cause I/O interruption if using FW v4.1.0 or greater. 1. Change your working directory to the directory in which the patch was saved. Then unzip the firmware file, v5.1.0a.zip. Confirm that the v5.1.0a directory is present using the "ls" command. Do not link release.plist in this directory. 2. Invoke telnet using the following syntax: telnet where is the name or IP address of the FC switch. If security is enabled, you will need sectelnet application or ssh. 3. Verify that the current switch firmware by typing the following command at the "admin>" prompt: version EXAMPLE: sw0:admin> version Kernel: 2.4.19 Fabric OS: v5.0.3 <--- 4. For 24000/48000, at the "admin>" prompt, type hashow EXAMPLE: sw0:admin> hashow Local CP (Slot 5, CP0): Active Remote CP (Slot 6, CP1): Standby, Healthy HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized 5. At the "admin>" prompt, type the command: firmwaredownload Enter FTP server where firmware exists, login, file, and password. 6. As a best practice, it is advised to upgrade edge switches serially, one at a time. EXAMPLE: switch:admin> firmwaredownload This command will upgrade both CPs in the switch. If you want to upgrade a single CP only, please use -s option. You can run firmwareDownloadStatus to get the status of this command. This command will cause the active CP to reset and will require that existing telnet, secure telnet or SSH sessions be restarted. Do you want to continue [Y]: y Server Name or IP Address: User Name: root File Name: /var/tmp/v5.2.0a/release.plist Password: Firmwaredownload has started on Standby CP. It may take up to 10 minutes. Firmwaredownload has completed successfully on Standby CP. Standby CP reboots. Standby CP booted up. Standby CP booted up with new firmware. Firmwaredownload process is automatically invoked on the standby cp and the process will take approximately 30 minutes on 24000/48000 model and 15 minutes on the 200E/3250/3850/3900/4100 model. Verify with the command "firmwaredownloadstatus" 200E/3250/3850/3900/4100 EXAMPLE: [1]: Tue Apr 18 12:15:12 2006 Firmware is being downloaded to the switch. This step may take up to 30 minutes [2]: Tue Apr 18 12:20:52 2006 Firmware has been downloaded to the secondary partition of the switch. [3]: Tue Apr 18 12:22:14 2006 The firmware commit operation has started. This may take up to 10 minutes. [4]: Tue Apr 18 12:25:57 2006 The commit operation has completed successfully. [5]: Tue Apr 18 12:25:57 2006 Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully.
