If you are upgrading from firmware version 1.0.1.0 to a later version, use this task to upgrade the firmware through the Oracle Fabric OS, not the nm3tool. Through Oracle Fabric OS, you update switch firmware through the system upgrade command, which retrieves the firmware package as an .xpf file, loads it into switch memory, and upgrades appropriate system elements with relevant firmware.
Also, during this process, the Oracle Fabric OS Configuration Wizard might run. See Oracle Fabric OS Configuration Wizard.

For example:
system upgradefile_transfer_protocoluser_account@device_id:path_to_filename.xpf
Where:
file_transfer_protocol is the method of downloading the firmware package to the switch, either SCP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
user_account is the name of an authorized user with appropriate privileges on the device that contains the firmware package.
device_ID is the IP address or host name of the device from which the firmware image can be downloaded.
path_and_filename is the file path to the firmware package you downloaded, and the firmware package name including the .xpf suffix.
For example:
admin@SCP_hostname[OFOS] system upgrade scp://admin@192.168.112.126/oracle/updates/firmware/releases/OFOS-1.0.1-46978.xpf admin@SCP_hostname[OFOS]
While the firmware is upgrading, progress messages are displayed.
