If you swap a CM for a EQL you took the SD card from the old into the new one. The SD card is underneath.

I did not take the SD card out of the old one. That one stopped responding and we couldn't get it to work anymore. I thought if we took the SD card out, of the old one, it would still have the older firmware on it. We were hoping to keep the newer firmware. We don't have a way to download the latest version.

Thank you. I was hoping that just putting in the newer firmware card, that the one that is working on the older firmware would copy over the data, and we could just migrate to that one. Right now we are running on the older version. We cannot use the newer version one yet. 

From my brain...

1. Ensure that you boot the CM with your newer FW
2. login into the member and perform GrpName>update. Because you didnt uploaded a FW package i have in mind that the actual CM copy its FW over to the standby CM and restart the CM

You need the same version of the FW on each SD within the CM.

You can try to clone the SD with that newer FW to the old one.   I have something in mind that transfer of  FW is also possible from one CM to another. But EQL was long time ago .... you should search in the forum for some older thread.

The firmware on the one that is working is 7.0.1 and the newer one that we are trying to get working is 9.1.2

There where a lot of version between those two FWs.

Question: will the array boot with only one CM(try the newer one

Otherwise.. copy the FW manually from one SD to another. To be sure buy new SD cards.

Would you happen to know how to copy the firmware over? I don't have access to the firmware downloads page. 

You read the content from the SD with 9.x FW and copy it over to the other (or empty) one.

Thank you for your reply. We tried to boot to it, and it won't boot to the newer one. Had to resort back to the old one.
