Archiving Switch Configurationconfigupload

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. Theupload process uses either FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or the RSHD protocol (TCP service514). Both of these services are widely available on Unix hosts, but less so on Windowshosts. For security reasons it is recommended to remove the switch configuration file fromthe 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 anoption on Linux based switches. In the case of VxWorks switches, if invoked from onecommand line session (non-interactive) with three parameters then RSHD is used, thepresence of the fourth parameter (FTP password) selects FTP. Here is an example from ofan interactive session on a VxWorks switch:

rsl1_st07_b38_1:admin> configuploadServer Name or IP Address [host1] : 10.255.252.50User Name [none] : anonymousFile Name [config.txt] : config.txtProtocol (RSHD or FTP) [FTP] : ftpPassword :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.

Secure File Copy Protocol (SCP)

In Fabric OS v4.4 and above, SCP is a new protocol that is available forupload 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 Copyprotocol (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. FabricOS 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 configdownloadandconfigupload. As needed, each command prompts the user for the

password (if necessary).

Firmware Maintenance

There are differences in maintaining firmware betweenVxWorks-based switches and Linux-based switches:

New firmware always;old firmware maybe

retainedNew firmware only

Firmware in Flash,post-reboot

v4.x, v5.xv2.x, v3.xFirmware versions

New and old firmwareboth retained

New firmware only(old firmwareoverwritten)

Firmware in Flash,post-download

FTP onlyRSH, FTPDownload utilities

A set of Linux packagefiles (RPMs)

A single binary fileFirmware organization

Linux-based

switches

VxWorks-basedswitchesDescription

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 supportedwith 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 MaintenanceFirmware Download Considerations

Read the release notes for any issues relating to firmwaredownload

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

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

Firmware MaintenanceObtaining the Appropriate Release

Before downloading firmware to a SilkWorm switch orDirector, 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 appropriatefirmware 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.

Firmware MaintenancePreparing 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 thedownload operation (write access is not needed)

To ensure a successful firmware download operation, theFTP server should have LAN access to all switches in theSAN

Ensures that firmware downloads can be performed as required

The firmware download, boot and commit for a dual-CPdirector can take up to 30 minutes to complete

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used in downloading firmware to a

SilkWorm switch or Director.

Firmware MaintenanceVxWorks-based Switches

Firmware downloaded from management station to switch

FOS v3.x is for SilkWorm 3200 and 3800 switches only

Transport protocols are rshdor FTP (preferred)

Switch must be rebooted after firmware download with thefastboot orreboot 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 downloadingfirmware, the firmware version should be verified with firmwareshowand with the command version after the switch has re-initialized from

the switch restart.

Firmware MaintenanceLinux-based Switches

The Compact Flash memory is logicallypartitioned 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 thePrimary Partition

The other partition is identified as theSecondary Partition

May hold current firmware or a pastversion

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

restoredfrom 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 firmwareimage 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 requiredfor data flow

Fabric and management services are unavailable (quietperiod)

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 OSv4.1.0. The defining characteristic of hot code activation is that while a newfirmware image is being activated on a switch there is no disruption of end-to-end data flow between the hosts and storage devices. No disruptionmeans 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 hashappened.

A redundantly configured SilkWorm Director can pass control to its standbyControl Processor as part of the firmware activation. Critical fabric servicesare available in about 2 seconds, with all fabric and management servicesfully available in less than ten seconds. The SilkWorm 3900, with only oneControl Processor, must shutdown and reboots Linux as part of the HCAprocess. This process completes in less than 60 seconds, with the criticalfabric services available in about 50 seconds.

For the SilkWorm 7500 or FR4-18i blade, the GbE port hardware is reloadedduring the firmware download. This requires about 30 seconds to load andreset the hardware.

Rather than specifying a single binary file for the firmware, you specify a single text file release.plistthat 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 unziporgzip the compressed Fabric OS firmware, the RPM files are placed in a directory that isnamed for the release level of the firmware (for example, /v5.1.0). When downloadingfirmware, the pathname should include this directory (/v5.1.0/release.plist); the actualrelease.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 followingslides will illustrate the individual steps that occur when a firmwaredownload
