It's been a while since I was deep-dicing into these switches and now need a refresher on where/how to get the latest FW for these units.
I have been to the "SwitchX/SwitchX-2 InfiniBand Firmware Download Center", but nothing there lists the SX6012.

I only see:

MSX6025T_xxxR
MSX6025T-xxxS
MSX6025F_xxxR
MSX6025F-xxxS
MSX6015T_xxS
MSX6015F_xxS
MSX6005T-xxxS
MSX6005F-xxxS

Tried the MSX6015F-xxxS BIN file and it threw: "Error: *** Could not identify image type of webimage.tbz"

Any thoughts?

SX6012 is managed, you're on the page for unmanaged FW.

Look for software version 3.6.8012 for PPC (PowerPC), you should easily find a link here

So, I'm back again to ask about a second sx6012 I have and I am attempting the image upgrade again after success on the one we initially spoke of here.

Except this switch (which is same as the original one) refuses and says ONLY MFA are accepted.
Attempting to IMAGE FETCH from the console results in 100% download, LOST CONNECTION and there is no file in the SHOW IMAGES available for installation.

GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH whats going on?!

Nevermind.

It took several attempts to get this switch to take the image, but I finally did it via the web interface, even though that failed with the MFA error.

Weird. Which version was this switch on before the upgrade?

Well, ok that’s a good question.
However once I got it to work, I re-ram the image upgrade on the other partition to clobber the old OS out of both of the switches.

I never took a note of it.

I do recall that it was 3.6.???? But older than 8012 (latest).

So, it wasn’t one of those situations where you have to perform an intermediate upgrade first.
