I want to upgrade our Brocade 4/12 SAN switches firmware. I was expecting to find a single binary file with the firmware but i see this:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=nl&prodNameId=3185341&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3185340&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54#290
Firmware bundles of 300MB each.... I downloaded the proper version and when unzipping it contains a lot of content but no update instructions.
How do i upgrade our firmware?
Regards,
Joris Kemperman

SolutionFile Name: /userfoo/firmware/v6.4.0
where v6.4.0 is a directory.
This changed many years ago. Before there must be specified a plist file (cannot remember the version when this changed), but now only the directory is needed.
You may consider to update step by step to the current 6.2.xy version.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: How to upgrade Brocade 4/12 firmware?
- perform a switchshow
...
swd77:admin> switchshow
switchName: switch001
switchType: 32.0
...
Note the type (32).
Now specify the path:
/firmware/v6.4.0/SWBD32/release.plist
or maybe it was
/firmware/v6.4.0/release.plist
file - I don't remember at the moment.
But I think it was
/firmware/v6.4.0/release.plist
As said, since several years the path (/firmware/v6.4.0/) is enough.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
