Simplified Package Upgrade

Simplified Upgrade is a single operation that performs a full system upgrade of all the images. It

can be as simple as one command from the CLI or one set-request operation from the SNMP. LP

Auto-upgrade allows the system to automatically upgrade the Boot and FPGA images of an inserted

interface module.

NOTE

This is not applicable to Brocade NetIron CES and Brocade NetIron CER devices.

The system will always enable FPGA Mismatch-check regardless of whether Auto-upgrade is

configured or not. When it finds a mismatch in the FPGA it will put the card to Interactive state with

a reason as FPGA-Mismatched.

The LP Auto-upgrade will be modified to start only if the card state is Interactive and the reason is

FPGA Mismatched. Since an FPGA mismatch-check has already been done outside the

Auto-upgrade, it can proceed to upgrade all the FPGA images applicable to the card.

NOTE

LP Auto-upgrade will only upgrade the FPGA images.

NOTE

LP auto-upgrade is not supported in FIPS mode.

When downgrading from SHA256 signed packages to SHA1 signed packages the following errors

might be seen:

TFTP: Download to flash done.

TFTP: Download to flash failed - Server Message: File not found

Failed to rename manifest_tmp.sig into manifest.sig

NOTE

If this is a downgrade to 5.6B or earlier, the above errors may be ignored.

Brocade NetIron XMR and Brocade MLX Series single-command

(full-system) upgrade

There is no change in the syntax for the full-system upgrade; however, the expected behavior for the

keyword “all-images” has changed.

Syntax: copy tftp system [all-images] <server-ip-address> manifest <File name> [lp-sec | mp-sec |

secondary]

Syntax: copy <slot1 | slot2> system [all-images] manifest <File name> [lp-sec | mp-sec |

secondary]

NOTE

BOOT images are not included in the upgrade process. The optional keyword “all-images” specifies

to include only the MP FPGA images (MBRIDGE/MBRIDGE32 and SBRIDGE/HSBRIDGE).
