The following section explains the causes of some common error messages:
0x12 - Unable to access the required package list file. Check the firmwareDownload help page for a
list of possible failure reasons. The cause of this error may be that the package list file (.plist) name has
not been specified properly. You need to specify the fully qualified path and file name for the package
list file, excluding the /SWBDxx directory name. For example, if /dist/SWBD42/release.plist is a fully
qualified path and file name, you need to specify /dist/release.plist as the package list file. The error can
also be caused by one of the following conditions:
• host is not known to the switch.
• host cannot be reached by the switch.
• user does not have permission on \fIhost\fR.
• pfile does not exist on host.
• pfile is not in the right format.
• the FTP server is not running on host.
• Platform does not support indicated firmware.
0x15 - Failed to download RPM package. If this error occurs immediately after firmwareDownload is
started, the firmware on the switch may be two releases older than the requested firmware.
Firmwaredownload supports firmware upgrades within two feature releases (a feature release is
indicated by a major number and a minor number, for example, X.Y). The following are major upgrade
versions for the Fabric OS: v4.0, v4.1, v4.2, v4.4, v5.0, and v5.1. In this case, you will need to upgrade
to an intermediate version before downloading the desired version. If this error occurs in the middle of
firmwaredownload, the firmware in the file server may be corrupted or there may be a temporary
network issue. In this case, retry the firmwaredownload command. If the problem persists, contact your
system administrator.
