Proceedure for Upgrading M4000/M5000/M9000 firmware

For proceeding with this proceedure, there should be one ip for the console of Mxxx machine.

I have mapped this ip in /etc/hosts file as M4000-sc

Here we are upgrading from 1080 to 1082

Befor you are going to updrade please note,

1. Download and keep the firware in the console machine, (eg: with the path /fw/FFXCP1082.tar.gz)

2. Enble ftp server and root ftp login to console machine
