Prerequisites for installing and using firmware 06.02.00
If you are using HAFM, firmware 06.02.00 requires HAFM 07.01.00 or later
(check with HP Customer Support for the latest shipping version of HAFM).
HAFM should be at the minimum level before installing the new firmware.
Note:
All directors and edge switches in the same fabric should have the same firmware
level installed. Although products may co-exist in a fabric running different levels
of firmware, all products must be at the same major functional release level.
Upgrading from an earlier version of firmware
Upgrading to firmware 06.02.00-22 is non-disruptive to attached devices. The
director or edge switch is not required to be offline before performing an upgrade
operation. Limitations to upgrades are clearly identified if there are any
limitations to performing the operation.
Before upgrading firmware, it is highly recommended that you back up the
director or edge switch configuration. Refer to your HP StorageWorks Director or
Edge Switch Element Manager User Guide for more information. Embedded Web
Server (EWS) also provides an option to print or save product configuration to a
file. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User Guide for more
information.
All products must be running firmware 05.00.00 or later before upgrading to
06.02.00-22. If a switch is operating with a firmware level earlier than 05.00.00,
you must upgrade to 05.xx.xx before installing 06.02.00-22.
Upgrades and downgrades are supported only from one major release to the next,
such as from 05.xx.xx to 06.02.00-22. If EWS is used for upgrades and
downgrades, and this rule is not followed, errors occur and there may be a
disruption to attached devices.
