HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Release Note page 9

Considerations for Downgrading the Version of Firmware
Directors and edge switches are not required to be offline before performing a
firmware downgrade operation. Limitations to downgrades are clearly identified if
there are any limitations to performing the operation.
Before downgrading firmware, it is highly recommended that you back up the
edge switch or director configuration in the event that a failure should occur. Refer
to the switch or director Product 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.
Downgrading directly to a version prior to 04.00.00 from Version 05.01.00-24 is
not allowed. To downgrade to a version before 04.00.00, you must first downgrade
to Version 04.YY.ZZ.
Note:
Version 04.01.00.
Downgrading directly to a version prior to 02.00.00 from Version 04.YY.ZZ is not
allowed. To downgrade to a version before 02.00.00, you must first downgrade to
Version 02.YY.ZZ.
Firmware downgrades should not be performed using EWS and Microsoft®
Internet Explorer Version 5.00.3315.1000x. If this operation is performed, the
download operation may not complete and may eventually time-out leaving the
switch with the previous version of firmware.
Open Trunking Feature is Not Available in Current Release
The Open Trunking feature is not available in Firmware Version 05.01.00-24.
Open Trunking feature will be available in a future release.

devices connected to the switches to communicate.
