AJ821B 5480 firmware

[RabbitTrax]

Looking at a previous download of v742h firmware which is installed on my switches; downloading a new version v742j  and unzipping it.  There are less SWBD directories in the J (jay) version than the H version.  Could this be the reason why the firmwaredownload command on the switch is failing?  Is there a guide somewhere that explains the various SWBD directories?

Which switch model is yours?

I'm told SWBD72 is the directory that matches the 5480 switch.

Hello RabbitTrax,

FOS v7.4.2j release of FOS is available for entitled equipment download in Platform Specific Download (PSD) form. FOS PSD releases provide a smaller version of the FOS image that can only be loaded on a single hardware platform, consisting of a single switch model or group of switch models. These FOS PSD images enable much faster download and file transfer times since they are between 65-90% smaller in size than traditional full FOS images.

Unlike traditional FOS release images that can be installed on any supported Brocade switch and director, FOS PSD images must be downloaded separately for each platform that the FOS release will be used on. The full list of unique FOS PSD images available for this release and the models that each PSD image supports is given in the release notes of the specifc FOS version.

FOS v7.4.2h is not a PSD release.

Hi, 

@RabbitTrax 

Do you still have v7.4.2j in your possession? If yes, please send me the ftp link to download this firmware file, I have been looking all over the internet and couldn't find one.

Thanks.

Good day @srujan_kumar 

Unfortunately, my switch is out of warranty, and that is why I am begging anyone including you,  who has the file to drop me the cloud drive link or FTP server address so I can download it.
