Contents.This is my guide/template to upgrading Fabric OS (FOS) – Firmware – on the Brocade SAN Switches. If you have any additions, comments or questions please go ahead and comment or if you have any questions you can find my e-mail on. The post has been updated over 173 times according to my WordPress revisions, first update in January 2011.This article was originally built from my experience with HP branded Brocade SAN Switches – not with any other OEM or pure Brocade switches.
I have however since beginning this document gotten experience with other vendors.I do not think others are different except for licenses and some default fabric.ops.I made a of two downloads of the 6.3.1b Fabric OS Firmware (one via IBM and one from HP). You can find a link to the “IBM” firmware and release notes after 6.x in that article too. I found that they are very similar and the HP firmware works on the IBM switch and vice versa. Another example is that firmware gotten from HDS works on an HP branded Brocade switch.When you see 7.2.x this means any version in the Fabric OS 7.2.x series. For upgrades, this would generally mean the latest available in that series (like 7.2.1g for 7.2.x or 8.0.2d for 8.0.x) unless of course there is a problem with the latest. Sign up for your vendor’s security and update alerts to get notified about new releases.Carefully plan the upgrade, it takes time but it is rewarding and worth it. Updates in this article.
FOS Upgrade and Downgrade Special Considerations. Brocade Encryption Switch, VA-40FC, 300, 5100, 5300, 6510, 6505, 6520 — On the switch ID pull-out tab located on the. Silkworm 3016, 3250, 3850, 3900, 24000.
2011-02-22: Updated links because the release notes I had before to 6.1.x and above did not work anymore. Also changed the sub-versions in 6.1.x and above to the latest released one by HP.2011-02-24: Found link to on HP.com with the help of an ITRC thread.2011-04-21: Added links for correlating Brocade Product name, model number and HP name. Latest in 6.4.x series is now 6.4.1b2011-05-05: Added link to Web Tools for 6.2.x with reference to how to upgrade Firmware via the web tools.2011-05-15: A note added about compatibility regarding the ‘HP’ firmware files and other vendors – as far as I can tell the ones downloaded from HP will work on other non-HP switches. Also posted a about that. Added to IBM.com – for correlating product names and for getting (all Fabric OS) firmwares. EMC.2011-05-18: Added a link to a post on where the post helped a bit. Also made post a little easier, wrote a little about the release.plist confusion.2011-05-24: Added example to show that driver updates are important.
Some more restructuring of the article.2011-07-12: Added FOS 7.0.0a2011-07-14: Added to HP knowledge base and updated a link to an ITRC forum thread to point to the new forum.2011-09-29: Added FOS 7.0.0b and section about CF cards.2011-10-19: Wrote a bit about firmware upgrade order.2011-10-24: The HP links to 6.0.0c and 5.3.x seems to not work anymore. I could not find either of these for download on HP’s website.
The IBM one still has 6.0.0c (release notes anyway).2011-12-05: Went through all links to make sure they worked. Re-wrote some of the steps and re-ordered so that ‘decide’ is before ‘prepare’. Added output from switch when doing the firmware upgrade via CLI.2011-12-10: Added table of contents via a plugin.2012-01-02: Added FOS 7.0.0c2012-01-09: Added EMC branded switches default pw2012-02-14: Added HP’s to FOS 5.x. Firmware.2012-02-15: Added to FOS 7 info and downloads.2012-02-21: Some notes about which switches can do which firmware.
Re-wrote a part of the upgrade order section.2012-02-27: Note about licenses.2012-02-29: Added note about 5.1.x to 5.3.x, made upgrade path clearer. Also made how to find 5.3.x and 6.x firmwares a little clearer for HP’s page.2012-03-01: Added 6.2.2f and 7.0.1 and note about plist/ftp for 5.1.x2012-04-03: Addeed 6.3.2e2012-04-24: Added 7.0.1a2012-04-27: Rewrote some part of the upgrade section.2012-06-07: Added 6.4.3 and 7.0.1b2012-06-14: Added link to in decide section.2012-10-27: Some grammar updates and 16G FOS 7.x requirement. 6.4.3b and 7.0.2.2012-11-05: Updated links to release notes. Perhaps it’s time to condense the updates list.
Notes about passive/active ftp, ifmodeshow ipaddrshow and java version required (listed in release notes).2013-03-10: 7.0.2b and 6.4.3c added some notes about compatibility. Improved list of which FOS works with which FC speeds.2013-03-29: Added 7.1.0a and 7.0.2c. Only HP is out with 7.1.0a as of now. Brocade may have it non-publicly, at least I cannot see it in.
Other minor updates.2013-04-04: Added link to 6.4.3d2013-05-02: Updated link to FOS Target Path.2013-06-23: Changed some ftp:// links to Added link to IBM’s with pictures for firmware upgrade.2013-08-03: 6.4.3e by IBM – not available by HP yet. Disruptive upgrades are OK from 6.2 to 6.4.2013-08-05: Added 7.1.1, updated some links to release notes.2013-10-03: Made it a bit clearer regarding which is the earliest firmware you can upgrade from. Newer revisions of some Brocade release notes. 7.0.2d out and 6.4.3e link to hp.com2013-11-14: Removed comment that B300 does not support 6.4.x – it does!
It should have been the 200E! Thanks Eugene:)2014-02-01: As of 2014-02-01 HP does not allow anybody without a valid support agreement to download firmwares. Release notes and at least some firmware links appears to still be working. Expect difficulty and broken links while hunting for firmwares. Fabric OS firmwares downloaded from IBM’s site works on HP switches too, but there might be some differences (although I couldn’t find any important ones when I compared 6.3.1b). So far it seems this restriction of access to firmwares only applies to HP servers.2014-02-07: Added new link to Thanks Leo R!2014-02-11: Added 7.2.0b and 7.1.1c (HP have 7.1.1c release notes up but IBM does not – to find Brocade version go to IBM’s download the firmware page that’s on Brocade.com and get the release notes from there).
Also 3 years anniversary on this post on 2014-02-17: But be careful with 7.2.0b – IBM has a note on their about 7.2.0b saying: “ IBM recommends that customers not deploy FOS 7.2.0b if virtual switch capability is needed. Virtual switch users should migrate to an earlier version as soon as possible.“2014-03-17: The problem with 7.2.0b was likely DEFECT000491192 fixed in 7.2.0c and later also DEFECT000494570 was fixed in 7.2.0d. 7.2.0x seems a bit unstable at the moment. 7.2.1 is currently available for download via HP’s pages but not via IBM/Brocade’s. Also no release notes available.
Archived 2013 updates.2014-04-18: Added 6.4.3f and 7.1.1c and 7.1.2 is out. Updated migration paths a bit. The Brocade release notes of 7.1.x actually have a decent list of the migration path needed now. See the section “Recommended Migration Paths to FOS v7.1.2”.2014-08-06: 7.2.1a, 7.1.2a, 7.0.2e.
Updated some links that had gone bad and made the “Show/Hide” Updates work again.2014-09-28: 7.1.2b and 7.2.1b is out.2014-10-01: 7.3.0a is out but can’t find any release notes for it.2014-10-25: 7.2.1c2015-01-18: 7.2.1d, 7.3.0c. “HP’s” release notes are too hard to find. Added a note about FileZilla being a good ftp server. Thanks Harry Redl!2015-02-20: 6.2.2g, 6.4.3g2015-04-06: 7.3.1a from HP2015-04-21: 7.3.1a from IBM2015-06-19: Note about FileZilla being hosted off sourceforge – installer might contain malware.2015-07-07: 7.4.0a, 7.3.1b, 7.2.1e. Removed link to HP’s webkey license page. Doesn’t work anymore. Note about BNA version required to manage Fabric OS v7.4 switches.2015-08-31: 6.4.3g and 7.3.1b new revision of release notes. 7.2.1f, 7.4.0b2015-09-01: 7.3.1c2015-09-16: New versions of release notes.2015-10-25: is out for the brave and 6.4.3h (Fixes to OpenSSL CVE-2015-0286, CVE-2015-0288, CVE-2015-0289, CVE-2015-0292)2015-12-05: 7.2.1g and 7.3.1d.

Some HP links no longer work so removed those too.2018-12-07: and and2019-04-18: on Broadcom. From a reader got a link to NetApp’s where newer firmware can be found than on IBM’s.
Some more link updates and link to2019-04-19: More link fixes. FOS 6.x – 8.x firmwares can all be downloaded from the brocadeassist portal.2019-04-20: 8.1.2g and 8.2.1b on IBM release notes so updated links2019-07-17: BlueChris in a comment found a nice HPE link to older Firmwares!2019-08-23: 8.2.1c is on NetApp’s link but there are no release notes – I’d pass 22019-11-21: all links to firmware downloads don’t work right now. Only one I have found is to HPE, but there you need support contract. Help us out in the please Steps.
Firmware Upgrade OrderYou also probably want to decide on an order to upgrade the firmware on the switches.It’s possible to do it via DCFM (now called Network Advisor, used to be something else) one switch at a time or even in parallel. I’d advice against doing it in parallel. One at a time and one step at a time seems the most cautious one. It’s not too bad to run a SAN with switches in different firmwares. One idea is to have all switches of one model on the same firmware.
If you need to upgrade in several steps, do one step at a time.Also, switches that are of higher importance like Principal Switch, Core Switches or Seed Switches for DCFM/NA. Should you start with these or perhaps start with another switch of less importance to make sure the upgrade goes smoothly?With more recent firmwares (6.4 and 7.x) it’s possible to jump more than one hop – if you are ok with disruptions in the network. Nice if you need to upgrade switches that aren’t in production.
Release notes:FOS &Brocade release notes in.pdfd& Notes from the release notes:Upgrading from Fabric OS 5.0.x to 5.2.3 is supportedUpgrading from Fabric OS 5.1.x to 5.3.1a is supported, but upgrading from Fabric OS 5.0.x or a previous release directly to 5.3.1a is not.Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.0.0b is only allowed from Fabric OS 5.3.x. (6.0.0c is a special upgrade version, only meant to be used in between firmware upgrades)Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.1.2c is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.0.0bUpgrading to Fabric OS 6.2.2f is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.1.0a or later.Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.3.2e is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.2.0a or later.Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.4.3f is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.3.x. You can upgrade non-disruptively from 6.2Upgrading to Fabric OS 7.0.2 can be done non-disruptively from Fabric OS 6.4.1a or later.Upgrading to Fabric OS 7.1.2 can be non-disruptively upgraded from 7.0.x and 7.1.x. With caveats: For example, any previously existing error log entries with FOS v7.1.0 will be permanently lost once upgraded to FOS v7.1.2.Upgrading to Fabric OS 7.2.x can be done non-disruptively from 7.1.x.
Disruptively from 7.0.x is supported.Upgrading to Fabric OS 7.3.x can be done non-disruptively from 7.2.x. Disruptively from 7.1.x is supported (see the FOSUpgradeGuidev730.pdf and the Brocade Release notes).Upgrading to Fabric OS 7.4.x can be done non-disruptively from 7.3.x. From 6.4.x with firmwarecleaninstallUpgrading to Fabric OS 8.0.x can be done non-disruptively from any Brocade 16G (Gen 5) platform and all blades in the Supported blades table running any FOS v7.4 firmware. From 7.3.0 with “firmwaredownload -s”Upgrading to Fabric OS 8.1.x can be done non-disruptively from Brocade platform running 8.0.2 or later.
From 7.4.x disruptively with “firmwaredownload -s”.Upgrading to Fabric OS 8.2.x can be done non-disruptively from Brocade platform running 8.1.0a or later. From 8.0.x disruptively with “firmwaredownload -s”.About non-disruptively: This means you can go to 7.0.xfrom earlier than 6.4.1a but ports will go offline during the upgrade.See the release notes or Upgrade Guides for more details. DCFM: Data Centre Fabric Manager / BNA: Brocade Network Advisor.From 6.2.2a release notes:With the introduction of Fabric OS 6.1.1, certain features and functions were removed from Web Tools (resident in the firmware) and migrated to the DCFM management application. HP recommends that, before you upgrade to Fabric OS 6.1.1x or later, if DCFM is not running on your fabric, you review the Web Tools functionality moved to DCFM, page 29 in these release notes and take note of what has changed so you can assess the impact on your fabric.Fabric OS 7.x cannot be managed by DCFM 10.4 or BNA 11.0. You need BNA 11.1.0, see the release notes for 7.x.Brocade Network Advisor 12.4.0 or later is required to manage switches running FOS 7.4.0 or later.Brocade Network Advisor 14.0.1 or later is required to manage switches running Fabric OS 8.0.1 or later Updates to documentsSometimes Brocade releases updates to the manuals without actually updating the manuals. On HP’s page you can find them as “Documentation Updates”, “Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide Update”. Fabric Watch and MAPS with FOS v7.3Users running Fabric Watch for switch monitoring in FOS v7.3 are advised to convert to MAPS monitoring before upgrading to FOS v7.4. If you don’t, Fabric Watch will stop working.Also the APM have been replaced with Fabric/Flow Vision.
InteroperabilitySee the release notes of the firmware for the specifics. For example Fabric OS 8.0.2 cannot be in the same fabric as for example HP C-Class 4/12 FC switches (4024) and one must use Fibre Channel Routing. Prepare Download old Brocade Fabric OS Firmware.Basically, you need to update in steps.To get FOS 5.2.1b and 6.0.0c firmware: Contact OEM Vendor or Brocade. I’ve found that two vendors have the firmware available online for free: HP and IBM, see below:Eventually after looking around on HP’s old pages we found to –. This has firmwares going back all the way to FOS 2.6, it even has Fabric OS 6.0.0c and 5.2.3. On the page they have listed release notes and a little further down there is a link called “Release 6 Firmware”.Actually, if you click on ‘Release 6 Firmware’ you are taken to a page on brocade.com where you can find many different firmwares, including 5.x and 7.xIBM also have a andAlso note that some features does not exist/work on older Fabric OS. For example on Fabric OS 5.1.x DHCP and SCP may not work (which forces you to use static IP and ftp).
Equivalent Product NamesThis is a good one.RecommendationsHP recommend that you upgrade one fabric and one switch at a time.Waiting a week or at least a couple of days after you upgrade the first fabric is a good idea – gives you time to see if anything went wrong, if you can fix it and if you can do anything different next time.See for more details in regards to compatibility and interop modes.The HP B-series Connectivity Stream lists the recommended firmware and all the supported ones for each switch model. It also has a list of the supported SFPs. Find it by clicking on “” in the left-hand navigation pane under the “Other Hardware” section.
The Connectivity Stream is great and it is updated often so I will not link directly to it. You need an HP Passport to log on to HP SPOCK – it is free to create and you do not need a contract or product in warranty.Other vendors have similar matrices. HP for example does not have a list stating which Fabric OS firmware is supported with which HP P6000 firmware. The idea is that you go with the general recommendation of Fabric OS firmware.Do read the release notes for the firmware(s) you decide on: for example not all 4GB SAN-switches can run the 6.4.x FOS. The 8- and 16-port 4Gbps switches (Brocade 200E) do not run 6.4.x or 6.3.x.Only 8Gb and 16Gb switches can run the 7.x.x FOS.The release notes also have the fixes, enhancements, upgrade paths and supported switches.Generally the Brocade versions of the release notes are more verbose when it comes to fixes, but if you have an HP branded it might be easier to use the HP one as that has the HP names of the products.
Also it might be hard to find the Brocade release notes if you do not have a contract with Brocade. Other vendors (like IBM/Fujitsu/HDS) provide you with the Brocade version of the release notes. You can find the release notes from their support pages.Do consider updating OS patches, HBA drivers/firmware, management softwares and storage drivers/firmware. Qlogic had driver updates to their drivers that prevent HP blades from getting stuck in Gport after a reboot.
Another for Qlogic FC cards was to not write a partition table on Dell servers at 2TB on the LUN (not so nice for 2TB disks). Upgrading ToolsSANLoader is an unofficial HP tool to upgrade firmwares.
With this you do not have to create an ftpserver etc. Contact HP Support, they may give this to you.This is meant to be used when the other ways does not work, but it helps out a lot as you do not have to set up an FTP/SCP server.Sanloader used to (winter 2010) not work well on Windows 7 and may not work flawlessly on the pre 6.x firmwares.Other ways:.
Set up a ftp/scp server and upgrade via the CLI (command line interface). Use DCFM ( Data Center Fabric Manager – now called Network Advisory ) to upgrade firmware. Firmware can also be upgraded through the web interface (click on switch admin and then on firmware download).
You will still need an FTP/SCP server for this though. See the page 73-74 (FOS 6.2.x but it hasn’t moved).FileZilla is a free FTP-server that works well. There are many alternatives around.
But unfortunately some don’t work sometimes (not 100% sure but probably combination of older FOS with older ftp client with FTP server that couldn’t handle that client) as listed in the comments thread in this post. FileZilla is however still on sourceforge so you may want to be careful about installing that – it might contain malware. Storing them on a Synology NAS works – thanks Henny!For FTP clients:. /usr/bin/ftp in Ubuntu (also in Ubuntu on Windows).
for a free opensource Windows alternative that does both ftp and SCP (and more).For SCP any machine with Linux and sshd on should work. You can also get an scp-server running on Windows, OpenSSH would work. Both protocols are old, while FTP is sending data in clear text.Personally I like doing this via the CLI.
The Network Advisor way gives you the possibility to upgrade in parallel, but that’s also risky. If you use a Linux server to provide the firmwares via SCP don’t forget to let the switches in via firewall or tcp.wrapper ( /etc/hosts.allow ). If you do the upgrade via ftp – make sure that passive and active ftp both works. How to access the SAN-switchThe most common way is to access the CLI of a Brocade switch by connect to the IP of it with an ssh- or telnet-client, is the name of a free Windows client.
If you are comfortable with CLI, Windows 10 has WSL and a good ssh and scp client built in. Telnet is unsafe so do try to use the ssh at all costs. Windows 10 has Bash which is in my opinion much nicer to use than putty.It’s also possible to access the switch CLI via a serial cable, however as the firmware files are several 100MB (approaching 1GB for 6.4.x) that’s not really viable when upgrading firmware. Hyperterminal is a free windows tool that comes by default in some Windows versions.
You can also use PuTTy for serial access.To access the web interface just point the web browser to. It requires Java.
The Java version that’s supported is listed in the release notes of the Fabric OS. Upgradeare some more notes about v6.x. Basic steps:Note: version 6 does not require to specify the exact folder location SWBDxx: it just needs the root containing “the install” file1) Unpack the downloaded firmware in the FTP or SCP download directory2) Start the FTP/SCP Server and allow access3) Connect to the CLI of the switch via telnet or ssh4) Type this in the CLI: firmwaredownload5) Answer all questions: when it asks for File Name be sure to write /v6.4.1b, that is the folder under which you find all the SWBDxx folders. Failing to do so makes it impossible to download the firmware6) Wait for reboot of the switch and reconnect, check the firmware version with the “version” command More notes about the upgradeCLI Command to start the update process is firmwaredownload – this starts the interactive version, it is possible to specify user, directory, host directly via the CLI. See the for details.
There are reference guides for each major Fabric OS release. Specifying DirectoryPlease use forward slashes when specifying directories.For example when you unzip the firmware file and it creates a sub-folder in the FTP-root that is called v5.3.1a then you need to specify /v5.3.1a as the directory.For firmwares prior to 5.3.x you have to specify the release.plist – /v5.2.2a/release.plist.However it says in the release notes for 5.2.3 that release.plist is no longer needed.In some cases you may have to specify the sub directory.For example the 4/16 HP Switch is a Brocade 200E with switchtype 34. So you would then use directory SWBD34 – /v5.3.1a/SWDB34. You can also try with /v5.3.1a/release.plist, /v5.3.1a/SWDB34/release.plist or /v5.3.1a/install. However with 5.3.1a you should not have to so /v5.3.1a should be enough.

EricI recently updated some EMC/Connectrix 6505 series switches.
Interestingly, I was unable to do it via SSH using SCP (logged in as admin). I kept getting a “could not locate release.plist” error message. I tried both /tmp/brocade/v8.1.2d and /tmp/brocade/v8.1.2d/SWBD118, but it still gave the error.I ended up doing the update via the GUI (Web Tools) and SCP worked just fine with /tmp/brocade/v8.1.2d.Any thoughts why it wouldn’t work via command line? I would much rather use the command line than the GUI.Otherwise, this page was really helpful.Thanks. ↓. HarishToo Good!!!
↓. Post authorHey! If 8.2.x supports those switches with 7.3.x then your plan sounds good.Usually SANs are duplicated, but if yours is not then I guess you’ll have to take the bulk by the horn. I would look at some way to get a test environment or a second duplicate SAN so you can test the upgrade somewhere.and upgrade the 6.4.x to 7.0 and then all to 7.1 then all to 7.2 and finally all to 7.3.After that you can connect the old with the newer. Be careful to not have duplicate domain ids, same fabric settings etc on all the switches.Also IBM has the 7.x firmwares available on some links in this post.You could also try to get them from HPE.

Glad you found it!Some others here were wondering where one can find the 7.2.x firmware, perhaps you could let us know?About your switch AM868B being a Brocade 300 – it seems to according toSo now we know that.
Next is to read a bit. In this blog post I have apparently written “8G and above can run Fabric OS 7.x”. So I’ll look in 7.4.x firmware and indeed the latest release note link in this blog post for 7.4.x has “FOS v7.4.2 supports the following platforms: 300”Looking in the next (8.0.0f) has: “The following Brocade devices are no longer supported starting with this release. 300”Hope this helps!Strong hugs. ↓. PeteMThe 2498 B24 went end of service earlier this year, so IBM doesn’t offer contracts anymore.
The Brocade link on IBM’s support site doesn’t work (probably because it still points to Brocade instead of Broadcom). I have basic credentials to Broadcom, but no product family assigned to my account, so I’m limited to what I can do.The whole ‘issue’ I’m trying to solve is being able to open the Switch Explorer GUI with the current Java. I’ve seen some other notices about ‘tricks’ to try, but those haven’t worked. Right now, I can still get access to both my switches using an XP laptop that still has Java6 and early Java8. A little precarious at best Was hoping a firmware update might help, but just a guess at this point.Appreciate the assistance.
