Note - If you are going to downgrade the firmware to a version earlier than 2.1, you must disable secret M_Keys. Refer to Switch Administration, disabling secret M_Key functionality.
Note - If you are going to downgrade the firmware to a version earlier than 2.0, you must remove user partitions and depopulate the Subnet Manager nodes list. Refer to Switch Administration, removing partitions for firmware downgrade.
% ssh -l root switch_name root@switch_name's password: password #
where switch_name is the host name of the management controller. Initially, the password is changeme.

# df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 471M 276M 172M 62% / #
In this example, there are 172 MB available. If not enough space is available, you must delete or move files from the / filesystem.
# df -h /tmp Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 250M 240K 249M 1% /tmp #
In this example, there are 249 MB available. If not enough space is available, you must delete files from the /tmp directory.
Otherwise, go to Step 8.
# df -h /dev/shm Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 250M 16K 250M 1% /dev/shm #
In this example, there are 250 MB available. If not enough space is available, you must delete or move files from the /dev/shm directory.
# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 498 104 393 0 12 47 -/+ buffers/cache: 45 453 Swap: 0 0 0 #
In the -/+ buffers/cache: row of the free column, there should be at least 240 MB free memory. In this example, there are 453 MB available. If not enough memory is available, you must exit nonessential applications that are running.
# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 498 104 393 0 12 47 -/+ buffers/cache: 45 453 Swap: 0 0 0 #
In the -/+ buffers/cache: row of the free column, there should be at least 120 MB free memory. In this example, there are 453 MB available. If not enough memory is available, you must exit non-essential applications that are running.
The Firmware Upgrade pane is displayed.
A dialog box opens and asks you to confirm.
The Firmware Upgrade window changes to Upgrade mode and now accepts either a local file path and file name, or a URL and file name of the switch firmware package.
# If you are performing a local file upload, click Browse and locate the file.
# If the switch firmware package is located remotely, click Specify URL and type the fully qualified URL for the package.
Note - Clicking Specify URL also changes the button to Local File Upload. Clicking Local File Upload changes the button back to Specify URL.
Note - For the specified URL, only the FTP or HTTP protocols are supported.
Oracle ILOM transfers the switch firmware package to the management controller. Oracle ILOM verifies the package integrity and displays the current versions of the firmware and versions in the package.
A dialog box opens and asks you to confirm.
The upgrade begins and the status of the upgrade is reported.
When the upgrade process ends, a log and summary report are displayed.
A final status is displayed, the upgrade either:
Succeeded
Partially succeeded
Failed
Refer to Switch Administration, restarting the entire switch.
Note - The restart process takes between 4 to 5 minutes to complete. The Oracle ILOM stack requires at least 2 minutes to become operational after a reboot.
% ssh -l ilom-admin switch_name ilom-admin@switch_name's password: password -> show /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt NOTE: show on Fabric_Mgmt will launch a restricted Linux shell. User can execute switch diagnosis, SM Configuration and IB monitoring commands in the shell. To view the list of commands, use "help" at rsh prompt. Use exit command at rsh prompt to revert back to ILOM shell. FabMan@switch_name->enablesm Starting IB Subnet Manager. [ OK ] Starting partitiond daemon. [ OK ] FabMan@switch_name->
