HP StorageWorks B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise Software 10.0.2 10.0.2 NOTE: The B-Series MP Router Blade (for use with the 4/256 Director only) must run Fabric OS 5.1.0d or later. The Core Switch 2/64 does not support the B-Series MP Router Blade. Firmware upgrade instructions To access the latest Fabric OS 5.3.2 firmware, configuration files, and MIB files, see the following HP website: http://www.hp.com/support/downloads and follow these steps. 1. Under Storage, select Storage Networking. 2. Select the link for the appropriate switch. 3. Select your product, and then select Cross operating system (BIOS, Firmware, Diagnostics, etc.). 4. Under Firmware, select v5.x Firmware for HP StorageWorks B-Series Fibre Channel Switches for version 5.3.2, and then select Download. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the release notes before installing the latest firmware. CAUTION: Install port blades like the HP StorageWorks 4/48 SAN Director Blade (FC4-48) only after upgrading to Fabric OS 5.2.0a or later. HP does not support directly upgrading from more than two previous releases. For example, upgrading from Fabric OS 5.1.x to 5.3.2 is supported, but upgrading from Fabric OS 5.0.x or a previous release directly to 5.3.2 is not. Upgrading a switch from Fabric OS 5.0.x or a previous release to 5.3.2 requires a two-step process: first upgrade to Fabric OS 5.1.x or 5.2.x, and then upgrade to 5.3.2. The following conditions must be met before upgrading to Fabric OS 5.3.2: • Device-based routing must not be in use, otherwise the upgrade will fail. You can use the aptPolicy command to verify the routing policy. • Chassis configuration options 3 and 4 are no longer supported for the 4/256 SAN Director. • Fabric OS 5.1.1 supports a maximum MTU value of 2284. However, Fabric OS 5.2.1x and 5.3x support an MTU value of up to 2348. Prior to downgrading the Fabric OS to 5.1.1, you must change the MTU size less than or equal to 2284. If the configuration of the target unit has an MTU value greater than 2284, the FCIP tunnels will not go online after firmware downgrade. HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.3.2 release notes 9
