Upgrading the FPGA on an RPM
RPMs must be upgraded one after another. Force10 recommends upgrading both RPMs to prevent having
to repeat the procedure at another time. Only the primary FPGA image can be upgraded; an error message
appears if the FPGA flash selection is set to B.
To upgrade the RPM FPGA image:
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode
1 Upgrade the FPGA image on the primary
RPM.
upgrade primary-fpga-flash rpm EXEC Privilege
2 Power-cycle the RPM. reset rpm power-cycle EXEC Privilege
Note: Steps 3 and 4 are not required if you have only one RPM installed.
3 Failover to the standby RPM. redundancy force-failover rpm EXEC Privilege
4 Upgrade the FPGA image on the RPM. upgrade primary-fpga-flash rpm EXEC Privilege
5 Power-cycle the RPM. reset rpm power-cycle EXEC Privilege
Note: You must power-cycle the card so that the new FPGA image can be uploaded.
