Firmware download from a USB device

The Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, 7800, 8000, and VA-40FC switches and the Brocade DCX and 
DCX-4S Backbones support a firmware download from a Brocade branded USB device attached to 
the switch or active CP. Before the USB device can be accessed by the firmwareDownload 
command, it must be enabled and mounted as a file system. The firmware images to be 
downloaded must be stored under the relative path from /usb/usbstorage/brocade/firmware or 
use the absolute path in the USB file system. Multiple images can be stored under this directory. 
There is a firmwarekey directory where the public key signed firmware is stored.

When the firmwareDownload command line option,

 -U 

(upper case)

,

 is specified, the 

firmwareDownload command downloads the specified firmware image from the USB device. When 
specifying a path to a firmware image in the USB device, you can only specify the relative path to 
/firmware or the absolute path.
