Firmware updates

Firmware updates are performed by using an FTP client to PUT a new image to the switch. Log in as "images" (password "images"), PUT the file from Qlogic's FTP site and open up a telnet session to the switch.

SANbox2 (admin) #> image list

  4.2.0.18_x86

SANbox2 (admin) #> image unpack 4.2.0.18_x86

  Processing the command ... 
  A notification with the command result will appear
  on the screen when the command has completed.

SANbox2 (admin) #> 

  image unpack command result: Passed.

  The firmware will become active after the next switch reset.

Do a "hardreset" to restart the switch with the new firmware.
