Hi,Your san switch should be in n/wThere should be an ftp Server, and copy the switch firmware to that server.admin firmwaredownloadThis will take you through the complete process. The command will ask you,1.
Firmware file name (full path/.plist)4. Protocol (ftp/rshd)- Select ftp5. Passwordadmin firmwaredownloadstatus To show whether the last firmware download was succesful.Admin firmwareshow To show the firmware levelAdmin firmwarecommit This comnd is to make the changes permenantly.
This command to be exicute only if you are selecting 'No' while 'firmwaredownload' prompt you for firmware commit.Go through the attached doc for more understanding of firmware upgrade.Rgds,Sreekanth.

Contents.HistoryBrocade was founded in August 1995 by Seth Neiman (CEO and VCfunding), Paul Bonderson (VP Engineering), and(Standards and Technology).
Brocade Silkworm 200e Firmware
Dave Banks (Systems and ASICs) and PaulRamsay (Software) came onboard immediately thereafter. Brocadereleased its first Fibre Channel switch, the SilkWorm, inearly 1997 based on the 'Stitch' and their own -based firmware ( or FOS). SilkWormultimately came to be a marketing designation for an entire line ofswitches, directors, and routers, with the first product beingrenamed the SilkWorm 1000 (SW1000) to distinguish it fromsubsequent platforms. Bruce Bergman was the CEO during most of thisperiod.In 1998, joined the company as CEO. During the next three years ofthe, Brocade released its 'Flannel' ASIC (which supportedaninterface to a ), added manyvalue-added fabric services (such as and support for translatingprivate loop devices into the fabric), and ultimately the nextgeneration of switches based on the 'LOOM' ASIC. In 2001, Brocadereleased the SilkWorm 6400, a semi-director product, made of abunch of small switches integrated with a new managementapplication, Fabric Manager 1.0.From 2001 to 2003, Brocade released numerous switches and adirector based on its third generation ASIC, 'BLOOM' (Big LOOM).BLOOM introduced increased throughput of 2 Gbit/s instead ofexisting 1 Gbit/s. Brocade integrated BLOOM into its firstdirector, the SilkWorm 12000, in April 2002.
The director offeredup to 128 ports in two 64-port domains, and run FOS v4.0 (whichswitched from VxWorks tokernel). From an internal architecture and technical perspective,the 12000 was significant for Brocade in that it represented achange on five major fronts: it used a new ASIC (BLOOM instead ofLOOM), had an upgraded control processor architecture ( moved to ), changedthe embedded operating system (switch from Wind River SystemsVxWorks to in FOS v4.0), and shiftedthe system architecture (single motherboard with a single PCI busto hierarchical PCI buses with hot-swap blades and a ). The Bloom ASICwas also the first product in the industry ever to offerhardware-based frame-level Fibre Channel trunking, which providedunmatched throughput through guaranteed even load balancing acrossmultiple 'pipes', while maintaining reliable and in-order framedelivery. Also hot firmware upgrade was introduced with FOS v4.1 inOctober 2003. Accommodation of all these changes mandated enormousmodifications to the architecture.At the time, Brocade's main rival, McDATA, held over 90% marketshare in director segment. The SilkWorm 12000 director quicklygained over one-third of the market share after its release in2002.
During this initial growth in the director market, Brocadegained the confidence of some customers from the toughest market, by bringing and FICON CUP support to the SilkWorm12000.In 2003, the SilkWorm 12000 was named “Storage Product of theYear” by Computing, a European IT Publication.In 2004, the BLOOM II improved on the previous ASIC design byreducing its power consumption and die size, while maintaining 2Gbit/s technology. It powered Brocade’s second generation director,the SilkWorm 24000, which supported up to 128 ports in a singledomain. The new director also used approximately two thirds lesspower than its predecessor.
Brocade Firmware Netapp
In this time frame, Brocade alsointroduced many additional value-added software features, acquiredRhapsody Networks (a SAN virtualization ), and delivered itsfirst multiprotocol Fibre Channel router, the SilkWorm 7420. Thiswas also the time frame in which Brocade first entered into theembedded switch market, delivering multiple switches physicallyintegrated into other vendors' hardware, such as storagecontrollers and chassis.As of March 2009, Brocade had sold over 10 million SAN switchports with over 44,000 directors installed, and held 75.5% of theoverall SAN switch market (Dell'Oro Group, 1Q09 SAN Report). Options backdatingissuesIn 2005, stepped down as CEO after being accused of grants.After spending about a year investigating these allegations, theDepartment of Justice (DoJ), through the, the, and the filed criminal and civil chargesagainst Reyes. In roughly the same time frame, the DoJ, SEC, andFBI also began investigating over 100 other companies for similaractivities. Greg Reyes and Stephanie Jensen, the former vicepresident of HR, were charged with 12 counts of fraud. Twocounts were dismissed, and on August 7, 2007, Reyes was convictedon the remaining 10 counts. OnJanuary 16, 2008, he was sentenced to 21 months in prison andordered to pay a $15 million dollar fine.Stephanie Jensen, Brocade's former vice president of humanresources, was convicted in a separate trial.
OnMarch 19, 2008, she was sentenced to four months in prison andordered to pay a $1.25 million fine.As of May 2009, the convictions of both Reyes and Jensen wereunder appeal.On August 18, 2009 the United States Court of Appeals for the NinthCircuit overturned Gregory Reyes' convictions and sent the caseback to the lower courts for retrial.Michael Klayko was named CEO in January of 2005, when Reyes leftthe company. Klayko was originally CEO and President of RhapsodyNetworks, and had joined Brocade in 2004 as a result of theacquisition of his company. Acquisition of McDATAStarting in late 2005, Brocade rolled out a full range of 4Gbit/s switches, embedded switches, and directors based on the'Condor' ASIC. Brocade continued its innovation with the newdirector, the SilkWorm 48000.
This director has up to 384 ports andintroduces along with otherfeature enhancements.These new products helped fuel the company’s steady revenuegrowth in 2006.On January 29, 2007, Brocade completed its largest acquisitionto date by acquiring McDATA Corporation, one of its leadingcompetitors in the Fibre Channel switch and director market, andlaunched a corporate-wide rebranding effort. Former McData devicesare still sold by Brocade, under Mxxxx designation. Consequently,Brocade dropped the SilkWorm ( SW) designationfrom its products' names starting with Brocade 5000 switch.Since its beginning in 1995, Brocade has authored more FibreChannel standards than any other company and it continues itstechnical leadership today. As of 2005, Brocade employees holdleadership positions in some of the industry’s biggest standardsgroups, including the T11 Technical Committees , the (SNIA), and the Data Management Task Force(DMTF). Acquisition of FoundryNetworksOn July 21, 2008, management agreed toallow the company to be acquired by Brocade for approximately $3Bin cash and stock.
OnNovember 7th, they agreed to a reduced purchase price of roughly$2.6B in an all-cash transaction when Brocade was unable to come upwith a $400MM tranche of financing required to complete theoriginal deal. Ameeting was scheduled for December 17, 2008, where Foundryshareholders approved the amended agreement.The acquisition was completed on December 18, 2008. According toMike Klayko, CEO of the combined companies, 'The close of theFoundry acquisition will significantly enhance our ability todeliver on our mission of connecting the world's most importantinformation. Brocade will now be able to offer a comprehensive IPand data center networking solution portfolio capable of addressingemerging market technology trends while meeting the needs of theworld's most demanding, data-intensive organizations.'
With the acquisition, Brocade added the former Foundry NetworksBigIron, FastIron, IronPoint, IronShield, IronView, IronWare,NetIron, SecureIron, ServerIron, and TurboIron families to itsproduct portfolio.
