HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Release Note page 14

• If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM Appliance to manage the Director or Edge Switch,
the minimum HAFM version required is 07.02.00-9, which is the minimum version installed. This
HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager documentation and
software CD (Part Number 516-000024-720).
• The previous minimum versions of HAFM allow you to manage Directors or Edge Switches
running 09.00.00 firmware. However, to use all the new features and enhancements,
upgrade HAFM to 08.09.01, which can only be run on the HAFM Appliance. 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 web site
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html.
As an alternative, you can perform the firmware upgrade directly to the Director or Edge Switch
using the switches HAFM Basic.
Contact your local HP technical resource if you need 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.
Important information
This section lists information that you should consider before using Directors or Edge Switches running
09.00.00 firmware.
Default zone is disabled by default
The default zone on the Director and Edge Switches disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in
order for devices connected to the Director or Edge Switch to communicate.
Some IP addresses must be avoided
If you use HAFM to manage Edge Switches and Directors, do not use IP addresses in the range
192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255
This subnet is used internally by the HAFM Appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the Call
Home feature to function incorrectly.
