Archiving Switch Configuration
configupload
Saves the switch configuration as an ASCII text file to an
FTP server
Perform this anytime before and after the configuration
changess:
Zoning or Fabric Watch is modified
License keys are added
New switch is added to the fabric
Changes are made to switch configuration
Remove from FTP server to a secure location for security reasons
Ways to perform
CLI
Web Tools
Fabric Manager
This command uploads a current switch configuration to a host file on a FTP server. The
upload process uses either FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or the RSHD protocol (TCP service
514). Both of these services are widely available on Unix hosts, but less so on Windows
hosts. For security reasons it is recommended to remove the switch configuration file from
the FTP server to a secure location.
The command may be invoked without any parameters, in which case the user is prompted
for input, including choice or FTP or RSHD (VxWorks switches only). RSHD is not an
option on Linux based switches. In the case of VxWorks switches, if invoked from one
command line session (non-interactive) with three parameters then RSHD is used, the
presence of the fourth parameter (FTP password) selects FTP. Here is an example from of
an interactive session on a VxWorks switch:
rsl1_st07_b38_1:admin> configupload
Server Name or IP Address [host1] : 10.255.252.50
User Name [none] : anonymous
File Name [config.txt] : config.txt
Protocol (RSHD or FTP) [FTP] : ftp
Password :
upload complete
The upload may fail for many reasons:
- the host name is not known to the switch
- the host IP address can't be contacted
- the user doesn't have permission on the host
- the user runs a script that prints something at login
- the RSHD (VxWorks only) or FTP server isn't running on the destination host
Note: Opening the ASCII txt files in Microsoft Word could change formatting and cause the
file to become corrupt.

switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.

Secure File Copy Protocol (SCP)
In Fabric OS v4.4 and above, SCP is a new protocol that is available for
upload and download tasks
Provides full data encryption
Focused on configuration files, not firmware downloads
Can be enforced via the configure command
RSL1_ST05_B41:admin> configure
Not all options will be available on an enabled switch.
To disable the switch, use the "switchDisable" command.
Configure...
System services (yes, y, no, n): [no]
ssl attributes (yes, y, no, n): [no]
http attributes (yes, y, no, n): [no]
snmp attributes (yes, y, no, n): [no]
rpcd attributes (yes, y, no, n): [no]
cfgload attributes (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Enforce secure config Upload/Download (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
The Secure File Copy protocol (SCP) allows files to be transferred between
a Fabric OS v4.4+ switch and a SSH client with full data encryption. In all
cases, SCP is offered in parallel with the more-traditional FTP protocol.
To ensure security, Fabric OS supports secure shell (SSH) encrypted
sessions. SSH encrypts all messages, including the login password. Fabric
OS v4.4 includes an SSH daemon (sshd), and supports a wide variety of
encryption algorithms (including Blowfish-CBC and AES). Commands that
require a secure login channel must be issued from an original SSH session.
If you start an SSH session, then use the login command to start a nested
SSH session, commands that require a secure channel will be rejected.
SCP is supported with the Fabric OS commands configdownload and
configupload. As needed, each command prompts the user for the
password (if necessary).

Firmware Maintenance
There are differences in maintaining firmware between
VxWorks-based switches and Linux-based switches:
New firmware always;
old firmware may be
retained
New firmware only
Firmware in Flash,
post-reboot
v4.x, v5.x v2.x, v3.x Firmware versions
New and old firmware
both retained
New firmware only
(old firmware
overwritten)
Firmware in Flash,
post-download
FTP only RSH, FTP Download utilities
A set of Linux package
files (RPMs)
A single binary file Firmware organization
Linux-based
switches
VxWorks-based
switches
Description
The format of the Fabric OS firmware has been adapted to suit the
Linux kernel. Firmware is downloaded as a series of RPM (Red Hat
Package Manager) files that can be installed as needed.
To improve the security of Fabric OS downloads, only FTP is supported
with Fabric OS v4.x.
After the firmware download is completed and a subsequent reboot has
been performed, the new version of firmware is retained while the old
version may optionally be retained. This is controlled through the
firmware commitment process (more about this later).

Firmware Download Considerations
Read the release notes for any issues relating to firmware
download
Upgrades by more than two releases are not supported
v4.0.x v4.1.x v4.2.x v4.4.x v5.0.x v5.1.x
Supported
Not Supported
X
v4.0.x v4.1.x v4.2.x v4.4.x v5.0.x v5.1.x
Supported Step 1
Step 2
Brocade does not support upgrades from more than two previous releases.
For example, upgrading from v4.0.0 to v4.2.0 is supported but upgrading
from v4.2.0 to v5.1.0 is not. A supported upgrade would be to first do an
upgrade from v4.2.0 to v5.0.1, then do an upgrade from v5.0.1 to v5.1.0.

CFP264 ILT 0806
Obtaining the Appropriate Release
Before downloading firmware to a SilkWorm switch or
Director, identify the release that is appropriate for the
environment
Any VxWorks-based switches?
What other switches are connected in the fabric?
Consult your support provider to obtain the appropriate
firmware release
While firmware version and compatibility information is available from other
sources, including Brocade Connect and the firmware release notes, always
follow the recommendations of your support provider. They have carefully
tested the firmware according to their specific SAN design recommendations
and may not support other versions of firmware.

Preparing for Download
The firmware package is a zipped file (*.zip or
*.tar.gz)
Because firmware downloads are performed via FTP,
place the package on an FTP server
Decompress the firmware using the UNIX gzip command or a
Windows unzip program
Server should provide read access to the user account used in the
download operation (write access is not needed)
To ensure a successful firmware download operation, the
FTP server should have LAN access to all switches in the
SAN
Ensures that firmware downloads can be performed as required
The firmware download, boot and commit for a dual-CP
director can take up to 30 minutes to complete
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used in downloading firmware to a
SilkWorm switch or Director.
Page 5-13

CFP264 ILT 0806
VxWorks-based Switches
Firmware downloaded from management station to switch
FOS v3.x is for SilkWorm 3200 and 3800 switches only
Transport protocols are rshd or FTP (preferred)
Switch must be rebooted after firmware download with the
fastboot or reboot command
Download using CLI, Web Tools or Fabric Manager
Switch will beacon during a firmware download
Can be run interactively or as a single command
sw3800:admin> firmwaredownload host, user, file,
password
A firmware download is a one way process that requires the switch be
restarted in order for the new code to become active. After downloading
firmware, the firmware version should be verified with firmwareshow
and with the command version after the switch has re-initialized from
the switch restart.

Linux-based Switches
The Compact Flash memory is logically
partitioned into two equal-sized partitions
Partition size:
128 MB (SilkWorm 3900, 24000)
256 MB (SilkWorm 4100, 4900)
512 MB (SilkWorm 7500, 48000)
At boot, the firmware is loaded from the
Primary Partition
The other partition is identified as the
Secondary Partition
May hold current firmware or a past
version
Downloads begin with the Secondary
Partition
FOS v5.0.1 FOS v5.0.1
Primary
Partition
Secondary
Partition
Compact Flash
In the above example, the Primary Partition holds the version of firmware currently
running on this CP card (v5.0.1). The Secondary Partition holds the same revision
of Fabric OS firmware (v5.0.1). It could however, hold a previous version of the
firmware.
The previous version of firmware can be retained in the Secondary Partition if the
new firmware is not committed. If the previous firmware version is needed, it can be
restored from the Secondary Partition to the Primary Partition.
The size of the Compact Flash memory depends on the SilkWorm switch as noted
above.

Brocade SilkWorm Hot Code Activation
With Fabric OS v4.1 and above, while a new firmware
image is being activated, there is no disruption to end-to-
end Fibre Channel data flow
No loss of light
No dropped frames
No retries
No timeouts
Once routes are established the FOS is no longer required
for data flow
Fabric and management services are unavailable (quiet
period)
Less than 4 seconds for dual-CP directors
Less than 50 seconds for other switch types
For a SilkWorm 7500 or FR4-18i blade
GbE traffic is disrupted for about 30 seconds
Hot code activation (HCA) is one of the features starting with Fabric OS
v4.1.0. The defining characteristic of hot code activation is that while a new
firmware image is being activated on a switch there is no disruption of end-
to-end data flow between the hosts and storage devices. No disruption
means no dropped frames, no retries, and no time-outs. The ASICs on the
switch continue to process frames while the new firmware is being activated.
Hosts that are logged into their targets will never be aware that anything has
happened.
A redundantly configured SilkWorm Director can pass control to its standby
Control Processor as part of the firmware activation. Critical fabric services
are available in about 2 seconds, with all fabric and management services
fully available in less than ten seconds. The SilkWorm 3900, with only one
Control Processor, must shutdown and reboots Linux as part of the HCA
process. This process completes in less than 60 seconds, with the critical
fabric services available in about 50 seconds.
For the SilkWorm 7500 or FR4-18i blade, the GbE port hardware is reloaded
during the firmware download. This requires about 30 seconds to load and
reset the hardware.

Rather than specifying a single binary file for the firmware, you specify a single text file
release.plist that contains pointers to the dozens of RPM files that comprise the SilkWorm
12000, 24000 or 48000 firmware which is located in two different subdirectories. When you unzip
or gzip the compressed Fabric OS firmware, the RPM files are placed in a directory that is
named for the release level of the firmware (for example, /v5.1.0). When downloading
firmware, the pathname should include this directory (/v5.1.0/release.plist); the actual
release.plist file, however, will not actually reside in this directory. It will be in the
appropriate switch related subdirectory.

The firmware download process for a SilkWorm Directors is more complex than
the other SilkWorm switches. It has dual Control Processor cards (CP0 and
CP1) with one performing an active role and the other a standby role.
Each CP card has a Compact Flash card that holds the Fabric OS firmware.
The flash is divided into two equal size partitions. The version of the firmware
controlling the switch is in the Primary Partition and another version of firmware
is kept in the Secondary Partition. The version in the Secondary can be the
same as the Primary or different.
It is these factors that make the firmware process more complex. The following
slides will illustrate the individual steps that occur when a firmwaredownload
command is issued.

The firmwaredownload command is issued from the Active CP to download Fabric
OS version 5.1.0.
The default firmwaredownload options are automatically executed. The default
settings are to auto-reboot and auto-commit. If the -s option is used and auto-boot
mode is not enabled, a reboot command must be issued to activate the downloaded
firmware. If the -s option is used and auto-commit mode is not enabled, a
firmwarecommit command must be issued to replicate the downloaded firmware to
the Secondary Partition.
Current status:
The Active CP is CP0; the Standby CP is CP1.
Firmware v5.0.1 is in the Primary Partition and is committed to the Secondary
Partition on both CP cards.
The firmwareshow command issued from the current standby CP will have this

The Active CP instructs the Standby CP to perform a firmware download of version
5.1.0.
The firmware is downloaded into the Secondary Partition. Upon completion, the
Secondary Partition becomes the Primary and the Primary Partition becomes the
Standby.
If the Standby CP does not respond within 10 minutes, the Active CP will time out and
abort the command.
As mentioned above, we perform all SilkWorm Directors firmware downloads to the
Standby CP card.
Before the firmware download process begins, Fabric OS checks to see that
both CP cards are running the same version of Fabric OS. If they are running
different versions, you will have to update each CP card separately.
Before proceeding from this step, new firmware should be downloaded to the
standby CP. The Standby CP should send a status=OK to the Active CP, Active
CP will respond with reboot instructions and then the Standby will begin the
reboot.
The results of the firmwaredownloadstatus command, issued from the standby CP
appears as follows:
RSL_48K8:admin> firmwaredownloadstatus

SilkWorm 7500 & FR4-18i
Application Processor (AP) is the hardware and software
that together implement specific functions
Blade Processor (BP) is the control processor internal to the
AP which manages its overall function
Blade Fabric OS (BFabric OS) is the portion of the Fabric OS
firmware that runs on the BP
Blade Manager (BM) is the control firmware for the Blade
Processor
Auto-leveling is when the (Active) CP detects that the AP
contains a different version of the firmware, the AP firmware
is downloaded regardless of which version is older
The CP and AP must have identical versions of the
firmware
Application Processor is a generic term. The application implemented on the FR4-
18i is FC routing and FC over IP. Other blades may be developed that implement
other functions.
The FC4-16 and FC4-32 port cards are not Application Processors. They are
controlled entirely by the CP and the functions that are implemented do not require
any additional Fabric OS code.
Auto-leveling during firmware download.
If there is an FR4-18i blade present in a director: At the point of the
failover an auto-leveling process is activated. Auto-leveling is triggered when
the active CP detects the FR4-18i blade that contains a different version of
the firmware, regardless of which version is older. Auto-leveling downloads
firmware to the FR4-18i blade, swaps partitions, reboots the blade, and
copies the new firmware from the primary partition to the secondary partition.
If you have multiple FR4-18i blades, they are updated simultaneously;
however, the downloads can occur at different rates.
Auto-leveling takes place in parallel with the firmware download being
performed on the CPs, but does not have an affect on performance. Fibre
Channel traffic is not disrupted during auto-leveling, but GbE traffic is. Auto-
leveling does not apply to the FC4-16 and FC4-32 port cards.
Page 5-50

CFP264 ILT 0806
The firmware package contains multiple RPM packages,
including Fabric OS and the BFabric OS
Fabric OS and BFabric OS form a single image
In the image, CP firmware and AP firmware have the same version
number
When downloading firmware to a SilkWorm 7500 or a 48000
with a FR4-18i blade, use the standard firmwaredownload
command
The firmwaredownload command downloads Fabric OS and
BFabric OS
No separate commands or command-line options
A SilkWorm 7500 upgrades both the internal CP and AP
A SilkWorm 48000 upgrades both CPs and all FR4-18i blades in the
chassis

CP1. Fabric OS v5.1.0 is installed on the Secondary partitions of CP0 and
CP1. Fabric OS v5.1.0a is installed on both the Primary and Secondary
partitions of the FR4-18i blade in slot 10. Note: Both partitions on an FR4-18i
are always auto-leveled to the firmware on the Active CP, Primary partition.
When this command is executed on the Standby CP, only the CP cards are
displayed. The FR4-18i blades are not included in the firmwareshow
