HAFM upgrade required for firmware 09.08.03
Consider the following HAFM requirements for firmware 09.08.03:
If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM Appliance to manage the Edge Switch or Director, the
minimum HAFM version required is 08.09.01. This HAFM software is provided on the HP Stor-
ageWorks ha-fabric manager documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-720).
This minimum version of HAFM allows you to manage Edge Switches or Directors running firmware
version 09.08.03. However, to use all the new features and enhancements, upgrade to EFCM
software 09.07.00. To migrate from HAFM to EFCM, you must first upgrade to HAFM 08.09.01.
An upgrade kit to HAFM 08.09.01 is available (Part Number A7490A) for owners of a licensed
version of HAFM. This HAFM upgrade is also available on the HP website:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/networking/index.html
Select Retired Products, navigate to your switch model, and then select Download drivers and
software.
Alternatively, you can perform the firmware upgrade directly to the Edge Switch or Director using
the switch's HAFM Basic management interface.
Contact your HP-authorized service representative to obtain a new HAFM version or to confirm
compatibility with devices in your SAN before upgrading to this firmware.
For more information on upgrading software versions, see the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager
user guide.
M-series and B-series switch interoperability
For details on compatible firmware versions, management software EFCM or Data Center Fabric
Manager (DCFM) Enterprise versions, and other requirements for M-series and B-series switch
interoperability, see the latest application notes under Application Notes > Fabric Interoperability,
available on the following HP website:

Important information
This section provides information that you should consider before using Edge Switches or Directors
running firmware 09.08.03.
SNMP reports wrong address
If using SNMP, fcConnUnitLinkAgentAddressY should report the IP address of the HAFM or
EFCM server if being managed by the application, or if not, should report the IP address of a
neighboring switch in the fabric. Instead, a value of NULL or "0" is returned.
Master log does not display port number
For port offline and online messages in the Master log in HAFM or EFCM, the switch port number,
switch WWN, and connected device (node) WWN should be included in the message. However,
the switch WWN appears as the node WWN, and the node WWN is not included.
