The following section explains the causes of some common error messages:
0x15 - Failed to download Red Hat package manager (RPM) package. If this error occurs
immediately after firmwareDownload is started, the firmware on the switch may be two releases
older than the requested firmware. firmwareDownload supports firmware upgrades within two
feature releases (a feature release is indicated by a major number and a minor number, for
example, X.Y). The following are major upgrade versions for the Fabric OS: v4.0, v4.1, v4.2, v4.4,
v5.0, v5.1.,5.2, and 5.3. In this case, you will need to upgrade to an intermediate version before
downloading the desired version. If this error occurs in the middle of firmwareDownload, the
firmware in the file server may be corrupted or there may be a temporary network issue. In this
case, retry the firmwareDownload command. If the problem persists, contact your system
administrator.
0x18 - Error in getting lock device for firmwareDownload. This error may occur because another
firmwareDownload is already in progress. Run firmwareDownloadStatus to verify that this is the
case. Wait for the current session to finish before proceeding.
0x23 - firmwareDownload timed out. This error may occur because firmwareDownload has not
completed within the predefined timeout period. It is most often caused by network issues. If the
problem persists, contact your system administrator.
0x24 - out of disk space. This error may occur because some coredump files have not been
removed from the filesystem and are using up disk space. Remove these coredump files using the
supportSave command before proceeding.
0x29 - The pre-install script failed. This error may be caused by an unsupported blade type in the
chassis. Remove or power off the unsupported blades before proceeding. Another possible cause
may be an invalid chassisConfig option setting. In that case, reset the chassisConfig option before
retrying firmwareDownload.
0x2e - Invalid Red Hat package manager (RPM) package. This error maybe caused by an
inconsistent firmware image loaded on the file server. It may also be caused by temporary
networking issues. Please reload firmware packages on the file server, then retry
firmwareDownload. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.
