Symptoms

Firmware upgrade to FOS v9.x is not allowed as ports have non-standard media plugged into them. The switch displays the following information and stops the upgrade when upgrading the G620 from FOS v8.2.3c1 to v9.01e1: Please address the following before downloading the specified firmware: Firmware upgrade is not allowed as port(s) 16,23 have Non Standard Media plugged into them. Please replace those media and validate media using sfpshow CLI. Then proceed with firmware upgrade.

Cause

While upgrading to v9.0.x, FOS checks for the supported media type. Though port 16 uses a Brocade Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), the part number is not supported with the specified switch model (G620). Similarly, port 23 does not use a Brocade-branded SFP. In both situations, the FOS upgrade is stopped. ============= Port 16: ============= Identifier: 3 SFP Connector: 7 LC Transceiver: 7001001200000000 4,8,16_Gbps SM lw Extended Long_dist Encoding: 6 64B66B Baud Rate: 140 (units 100 megabaud) Length 9u: 40 (units km) Length 9u: 255 (units 100 meters) Length 50u (OM2): 0 (units 10 meters) Length 50u (OM3): 0 (units 10 meters) Length 62.5u:0 (units 10 meters) Length Cu: 0 (units 1 meter) Vendor Name: BROCADE Vendor OUI: 00:05:1e Vendor PN: BRO-XXX-XXXXXXXX Vendor Rev: A Wavelength: 1560 (units nm) ============= Port 23: ============= Identifier: 3 SFP Connector: 7 LC Transceiver: 7001001200000000 4,8,16_Gbps SM lw Extended Long_dist Encoding: 6 64B66B Baud Rate: 140 (units 100 megabaud) Length 9u: 40 (units km) Length 9u: 255 (units 100 meters) Length 50u (OM2): 0 (units 10 meters) Length 50u (OM3): 0 (units 10 meters) Length 62.5u:0 (units 10 meters) Length Cu: 0 (units 1 meter) Vendor Name: PRO OPTIX Vendor OUI: 00:05:1e Vendor PN: BROXXXXXXXXXXXX Vendor Rev: A Wavelength: 1510 (units nm)

Resolution

Remove or replace the unsupported SFPs and continue the FOS upgrade. Obtain the Brocade Transceiver Support Matrix from the Brocade site.
