2. Download firmware 05.02.00-13 by selecting Firmware Library from the Product
Manager Maintenance menu.
3.
Back up the Director configuration by selecting Backup & Restore Configuration
from the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
4.
Using the Product Manager, execute a CTP swap:
a.
From the Product/Element Manager Hardware view, verify that an amber
LED indicator is not displayed for either CTP card.
b.
Right-click the CTP card you believe to be active, and then select FRU
Properties. Verify that it is the active CTP card.
c.
Right-click the active CTP card and select Switchover.
The Director loses its Ethernet connection for a short time during the
switchover process.
When switchover occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup CTP
card to indicate that it is now the active card.
NOTE:
You must have maintenance authorization rights to access the HAFM
Product/Element Manager menu options used in this procedure.
5.
Upgrade the firmware to 05.02.00-13 on each Director by selecting Send in the
Firmware Library dialog box.
Upgrading firmware on an Edge Switch from 04.xx.xx to 05.xx.xx
An issue has been identified in release 04.xx.xx if the contents of the NVRAM on the
CTP are corrupted. Once the configuration has been loaded, this corruption is not
detected until an IPL/IML, power cycle, or firmware code load. If the NVRAM on the
CTP has corrupted contents, the firmware load can cause the configuration to reset to
factory defaults, which can cause a system outage.
Edge switch products already running 05.01.00 or later continually validate the NVRAM
configuration, so risk of an outage is extremely low. For Edge Switch products running
an earlier version of firmware, the risk of an outage increases due to the NVRAM
issue. If an outage compromises system integrity, HP recommends that the Edge Switch
firmware upgrade be a scheduled maintenance action that anticipates the failure of
switch connectivity. This issue has been resolved with firmware 05.02.00-13 and later.
To safely upgrade firmware on an Edge Switch:
1.
Upgrade HAFM software on the HAFM Server/Appliance to 07.01.00 (minimum).
2.
Download firmware 05.02.00-13 by selecting Firmware Library from the Product
Manager Maintenance menu.
3.
Back up the Edge Switch configuration by selecting Backup & Restore Configuration
from the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
