Upgrading SilkWorm Directors
You can download firmware to SilkWorm 12000, 24000, and 48000 directors without disrupting the
overall fabric if the two CP blades are installed and fully synchronized. Use the haShow command to
confirm synchronization. If only one CP blade is powered on, the switch must reboot to activate
firmware, which is disruptive to the overall fabric.
If there is an error during the firmware download, the system ensures that the two partitions of a CP
blade contain the same version of firmware. However, the two CP blades might contain different
versions of firmware; in that event, repeat the firmware download process.
switch:admin> firmwaredownload
You can run firmwareDownloadStatus to get the status of this command.
This command will cause the switch to reset and will require that existing
telnet, secure telnet or SSH sessions be restarted.
