A custom firmware installation downloads the firmware image file from a remote 
host to the switch, unpacks the image file, and resets the switch in separate steps. 
This allows you to choose the type of switch reset and whether the activation will 
be disruptive (

 Switch command) or nondisruptive (

 command). The 

following example illustrates a custom firmware installation with a nondisruptive 
activation.

1.

Download the firmware image file from the workstation to the switch.

„

 If your workstation has an FTP server, you can enter the 

 Fetch 

command:

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) #> image fetch account_name ip_address filename

„

If your workstation has a TFTP server, you can enter the Image TFTP 
command to download the firmware image file.

SANbox (admin) #> image tftp ip_address filename

„

If your workstation has neither an FTP nor a TFTP server, open an 
FTP session and download the firmware image file by entering FTP 
commands:

>ftp ip_address or switchname

user:images

password: images

ftp>bin

ftp>put filename

ftp>quit

2.

Display the list of firmware image files on the switch to confirm that the file 
was loaded.

SANbox #> admin start

SANbox (admin) $> image list

3.

Unpack the firmware image file to install the new firmware in flash memory.

SANbox (admin) $> image unpack filename

4.

Wait for the unpack to complete.
