Firmware Download Implicit Fullinstall Support

The firmware download process automatically detects which devices require a firmware download fullinstall. You are warned that fullinstall is going to begin, because the fullinstall takes more time to complete. You do not need to provide any extra input outside of the normal prepare command.

EFA firmware download implicitly uses the “no reboot” option when issuing the firmware download command to the device. The SLX firmware download fullinstall command supports the “no reboot” option starting with SLXOS 20.2.3ea. This is the minimum required SLX version which should already be installed on the device for EFA firmware download to perform fullinstalls to a later SLX version on the device.

SLX firmware download does not support nocommit and fullinstall options specified together, so EFA firmware-download reports an error if there are devices requiring a fullinstall and the --noAutoCommit flag has been specified.

The firmware download prepare command reports a warning when EFA detects the device requires a full installation. The prepare is still successful.

Example: [Supposing firmware download prepare detects a fullinstall is required for 10.20.246.4]

efa inventory device firmware-download prepare add --ip 10.20.246.4 --firmware-host 10.20.241.101 --firmware-directory /team/ztp/build/slx/slxos20.1.2e
