Brocade fabric switch FOS upgrade:

What I usually recommend is this path:

5.0.1D-> 5.2.3-> 5.3.2c-> 6.0.1a-> 6.1.2c-> 6.2.2g-> 6.3.2e-> 6.4.3h > 7.0.2e > 7.1.2b > 7.2.1g > 7.3.2a > 7.4.2 > 8.0.2b

Main steps to upgrade FOS:

> View the current firmware version

2G cannot upgrade to Fabric OS 6.x

4G and 8G can be on Fabric OS 6.x

All 4G except some 4amp 8 & 4ax 16 (that's 200e) and HP's P-and C-class 4G blade switches (4012 & 4024) can run 6.4.x

8G can run Fabric OS 6.4.x

8G and above can run Fabric OS 7.x

16g (Gen5) needs to be on Fabric OS 7.x or Fabric OS 8.x

32G (Gen6) needs Fabric OS 8.x

Deploy the FTP server locally and upload the appropriate new firmware file

> upload the current configuration to the FTP server

> if the switch is cascaded, execute switchdisable to confirm that the switch is no longer running business

> execute Firmwaredownload command to upgrade

> confirm whether the version is upgraded successfully after the system restarts automatically

Download the configuration to the switch

> cfgsave

> cfgenable cfg

> execute switchenable to enable the switch

Then check whether the switch has successfully scanned the WWN number through switchshow, and view the currently running configuration through cfgshow.

Upload the configuration file to the switch (new switch)

SW3:admin > configeupload

Of this command.
