Commit switch firmware update.

firmwareCommit

Admin

Use this command to propagate an updated firmware image in the 
primary partition to the secondary partition in an individual CP 
blade.

For the ED-12000B, each CP has two partitions. The 

firmwaredownload

 command will always load the image into the 

secondary partition of a CP and then will swap the secondary to be 
the new primary. After the system successfully boots from this 
partition, a user should run 

firmwarecommit 

to replicate the 

downloaded image in the primary partition to the secondary 
partition.

The 

firmwareDownload

 command intentionally does not write both 

partitions to avoid having both corrupted during one firmware 
download. The 

firmwareDownload

 command loads firmware only 

into the primary partition. This protects the secondary partition so 
that in case of corruption the CP can be successfully booted up from 
the secondary partition, if the attempt to do so from the primary fails.

The functionality of this command is to propagate an updated 
firmware image in the primary partition to the secondary partition.
