HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Release Note page 17

Firmware 06.02.00-22 includes minor bug fixes, and provides support for
second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24 switches. This is the
minimum M-Series firmware supported on the second-generation Edge
Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24.
For customers who want to add a second-generation switch to their existing SAN,
but are not ready to upgrade their SAN from 5.x to 06.02.00, there is a downgrade
firmware version for each of these edge switches which provides compatibility
with a SAN running 05.02.00.
Firmware 05.03.01-01 is available for the Edge Switch 2/24, and firmware
05.05.01-01 is available for the Edge Switch 2/12. These versions are installed
only on the Edge Switch 2/24 and Edge Switch 2/12, and only when these
switches are placed in a M-Series SAN running 05.02.00 firmware. A copy of
these versions of firmware, are contained on the HP StorageWorks edge switch
documentation and firmware CD (Part Number 524-000001-005).
Reinstalling feature licenses
Feature licenses (or keys) must be reinstalled after performing a factory reset on
an edge switch to regain use of the licensed features (e.g., SANtegrity Binding).
CTP controls port lights
Port lights on the edge switch and director products are controlled by the CTP
functionality. Certain activities such as firmware updates, IPLing the CTP, or
switching over to the backup CTP (director) can cause these port lights to
extinguish momentarily until control is reasserted by the CTP. The actual Fibre
Channel traffic is not affected during these times.
