▼ To Load the Firmware Revision
1. Locate the file containing the new firmware on the management station.
The default location is /usr/opt/SUNWsmgr/flash.
2. Choose Special>Update Flash.
The application displays a standard Open dialog box that allows you to browse to
and then open the firmware revision binary file. When you select the firmware
revision file, the switch checks the file for a valid
checksum . Then, if the checksum
is correct, the Flash load begins.
If the checksum is not correct, the application warns you.
3. Make sure you select the correct firmware file.
The firmware file for the 8-port switch is m080304xx.fls .
The firmware file for the 16-port switch is m160304xx.fls .
Select the filename with the highest xx number.
The application displays information about the progress of the firmware update:
■ File: The name of the firmware binary file
■ Position: Number of bytes downloaded
■ Total: The total number of bytes in the file
■ Complete: The percentage of the file sent to the chassis
When the firmware update is complete, the application displays a dialog box that
states that the flash load is complete and asks whether to Reset Immediately.
4. If you want to Reset, click Yes.
Remember that a Reset operation disrupts the operation of the switch.
5. If you do not want to Reset until traffic is removed from the switch, click No.
You can perform the Reset later by choosing Special>Reset in any of the Chassis
FacePlate windows.
