Finding the firmware version To determine if you need to upgrade switches connected to the switch you are upgrading, use the following procedure on each connected switch to display firmware information and build dates. To find switch version: 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter the version command. The following information is displayed: • Kernel displays the version of switch kernel operating system. • Fabric OS displays the version of switch Fabric OS. • Made on displays the build date of firmware running in switch. • Flash displays the install date of firmware stored in nonvolatile memory. • BootProm displays the version of the firmware stored in the boot PROM. Obtaining and decompressing firmware Firmware upgrades are available for customers on the HP website at http://www.hp.com. You must decompress the firmware before you can use the firmwareDownload command to update the firmware on your equipment. Use the UNIX tar command for .tar files, the gunzip command for all .gz files, or a Windows unzip program for all .zip files When you unpack the downloaded firmware, it expands into a directory that is named according to the version of Fabric OS it contains. For example, if you download and unzip Fabric OS 6.1.0 zip, it expands into a directory called 6.1.0. When you issue the firmwareDownload command, there is an automatic search for the correct package file type associated with the switch. Specify only the path up to and including the 6.1.0 directory.
