Firmware upgrade instructions IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you upgrade to Fabric OS 6.3.0c as soon as possible to take advantage of the fixes and new features. Upgrading to Fabric OS 6.3.0c is allowed only from Fabric OS 6.2.x. For more guidelines, see "Update recommendation" on page 5 . NOTE: With the introduction of Fabric OS 6.1.1, certain features and functions were removed from WebTools (resident in the firmware) and migrated to the DCFM management application. This has been carried forward to Fabric OS 6.2.x and later. HP recommends that before upgrading to Fabric OS 6.2.x or later, if you are not running DCFM on your fabric, you review the "WebTools functionality moved to DCFM" on page 37 and note what has changed in order to assess the impact to your fabric.
