Performing Firmware Updates
To update down-rev firmware for a specific resource, use one of the actions available for that resource.
Performing a Firmware Update
1. Select Display>Multi-Resource Actions.
2. From the Resource Type drop-down list, select the type of resource on which to perform the firmware update.
All resources of the selected type appear in the available resources list.
3. From the Action drop-down menu, select the action to perform. A second resources list is displayed below the
first:
• You can resize the panes by using the divider line above the add and remove buttons.
• You can sort either resources list by clicking the bottom line of the column heading.
4. To further refine the resources on which to perform the firmware update, select a parameter from the Filter by
drop-down list. Only resources in the available resources list with the specified characteristic are displayed.
Some actions, such as SP Firmware Updates should not be performed on all SPs simultaneously. For these
potentially disruptive actions, the Filter by menu forces you to choose between X-fabric or Y-fabric SPs.
The Compare State - Down-rev parameter is shown only if any down-rev firmware actually exists.
5. Select the specific resources on which to perform the action:

list.
A summary of the action progress is shown in the Progress status boxes.
