Release Notes hp StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) and FabricWare 2.1(3) This document provides additional information about the MDS 9020 Fabric Switch, the MDS 9100 Series Fabric Switches, the MDS 9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches, and the MDS 9500 Series Multilayer - HP Cisco MDS 9222i | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 2
the only method. Consult the appropriate Cisco MDS release notes for instructions on how to determine the current SAN-OS or FabricWare version on your switch. HP strongly recommends upgrading all fabric switches to the latest supported SAN-OS and FabricWare versions. All switches in the SAN must be - HP Cisco MDS 9222i | HP StorageWorks C-Series Fabric Switches for SAN-OS 3.3(2) - Page 3
