NX-OS IMAGES AND MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE UPDATES Customers can now receive updates faster and more efficiently via electronic download by using HP Software Update Manager (SUM). This is a feature available as part of the support agreement available online within the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) at http://www.itrc.hp.com/. SUM provides online access to view support entitlements, manage release notification profiles, and download available new software updates as they are available. Customers with a software support agreement can: 1. Register with the ITRC at http://www.itrc.hp.com to obtain an ITRC User ID. This step is performed once per user. 2. Link support agreements to an ITRC User ID at http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/entitlements/linkSupportAgreement.do The System Handle(s) or SAID (Service Agreement Identifier), as identified in support agreements is required. This step is performed once per support agreement. 3. Navigate to "software update manager" at http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/sum/home.do to manage the software updates for the support agreements linked to your ITRC user ID. Although software and NX-OS images will continue to be located on http://www.hp.com for a limited period of time, HP SUM will be the preferred method for obtaining updates, and will eventually be the only method. Consult the appropriate Cisco MDS release notes for instructions on how to determine the current NX-OS version on your switch. FICON SUPPORT FICON is supported with NX-OS on the MDS 9100, 9200 and 9500 series switches. Please contact an HP storage representative for information on supported versions and configurations.
