Update firmware for FI from 1.1(1l) to 2.0.X

[Grace Zhu]

Did anybody ever encounter problem to update FI firmware from 1.1(1l) to 2.0.x?

We can not download firmware into UCSM.  Tried 4 different FTP tools, tftp,  also with CLI.  It just start for 20 seconds then failed at 2%.  Is there any work around?  Any suggestions?

Give it a try with SCP it used to work fine for me.

1.1(1) is very old one. I am not sure does it supports upgrade from 1.1 directly to 2.0. Maybe you have to upgrade first to 1.4 and then to 2.0

We tried SCP as well .  It did not work either.  We did also tried to update to 1.4 first.  The file still can not transfer to the FI.. Customer has a expert came in did a work around, and update the firmware.  I just really want to know how the expert did it.
