Re: SAN loader utility
I'm not sure what utility you're referring to. You usually update the firmware on Brocade switches from the telnet prompt, using the firmwareDownload command.
This downloads firmware from an FTP server somewhere on the network.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: SAN loader utility
Yes, I agreed with your statement. That is how I used to do it. But there is a utility call SAN Loader, run on windows machine, that does the same thing and much simpler to use. I have used it recently and like it very much over the Brocade method.
I originally got it (the tool SAN Loader)from a HP tech support person but accidently loose it. would like to download it but could not find it anywhere. Tried to google it but didn't find it.
Thanks,
MT.

SolutionMaybe if you open a call to HP support, they can provide you the software.

Re: SAN loader utility
I am very familiar with the traditional Brocade's way of doing firmware update. I have done this many many times in the past. I just prefer the way SAN loader does it( GUI). It is much easier and there is no need to have FTP running anywhere.
thanks,
MT.

Re: SAN loader utility
Since this trend is regarding SAN Loader and FTP Server, I would like to ask help from you guys...
I have an already existing SAN loader installed. Problems is that i can't load it because i am having problems with this prompt...
"Another FTP is currently running on your system. SAN loader will not be able to execute all its function and will fail. Please stop the running FTP Server"
Could someone help me how to stop this running FTP Server?
Many thanks,
Jojo

Re: SAN loader utility
c:\> net stop "ftp publishing"
Just in case you have another ftp server running - stop it.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
