Download A Firmware Version To A Switch - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Installation Manual

Download a Firmware Version to a Switch

This procedure downloads a selected firmware version from the HAFM server
library to a Edge Switch managed by the open instance of the Product Manager
application. The procedure applies to a Edge Switch with two (redundant) CTP2
cards. The process occurs concurrently without taking the Edge Switch offline or
disrupting operation. The new firmware version takes effect when control is
passed from the active to the backup CTP2 card. Although Edge Switch operation
is not affected, name server, alias server, and login server functions are
momentarily unavailable during CTP2 card switchover. Although traffic is not
disrupted, the green port LEDs will flicker or blink during the IPL portion of this
operation as control is passed to the other CTP2 card.
