Upgrading the Firmware

Firmware images are bundled with XCM8800 software images. The firmware contains 
BootROM images for the MSM and I/O modules and associated firmware images for the 
backplane and PSU controllers. XCM8800 automatically compares the existing firmware 
image flashed into the hardware with the firmware image bundled with the XCM8800 image 
when you:

Download a new version of XCM8800 to the active partition.

Install a new module into an active chassis.

After a firmware image upgrade, messages are sent to the log. 

You can configure the switch to automatically upgrade the firmware when a different image is 
detected, or you can have the switch prompt you to confirm the upgrade process. To 
configure the switch’s behavior during a firmware upgrade, use the following command:

configure firmware [auto-install | install-on-demand]

 

Where the following is true:

auto-install

—Specifies XCM8800 to automatically upgrade the firmware if the software 

detects a newer firmware image is available. The switch does not prompt you to confirm 
the firmware upgrade. 

on-demand

—Specifies the switch to prompt you to upgrade the firmware when XCM8800 

determines that a newer firmware image is available. This is the default behavior.

 

You can use the 

install firmware {force}

 command to install the firmware bundled with the 

XCM8800 image. To install the new BootROM and firmware, wait until the 

show slot

 

command indicates the MSM and I/O modules are operational. When the modules are 
operational, use the 

install firmware

 command. 

If the bundled firmware image is newer than the existing firmware image, the switch prompts 
you to confirm the upgrade. 

Enter 

y

 to upgrade the firmware. 

Enter 

n

 to cancel the firmware upgrade for the specified hardware and continue scanning 

for other hardware that needs to be upgraded. 

Enter 

<cr>

 to cancel the upgrade.
