Firmware download on an enterprise-class platform You can download firmware to an HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director, and to HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director and to HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch enterprise-class platforms without disrupting the overall fabric if the two CP blades are installed and fully synchronized: • Use the haShow command to verify that the CPs are synchronized prior to beginning the firmware download process. • If only one CP blade is inserted or powered on, you can run firmwareDownload -s to upgrade the CP. • If the CPs are not in sync, you can run firmwareDownload -s on each of the CPs to upgrade them. These operations will be disruptive. • If the CPs are not in sync, run the haSyncStart command. • If the problem persists, see the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide. If the troubleshooting information fails to help resolve the issue, contact your switch service provider. NOTE: This section applies only when upgrading from 6.1.x to 6.2.0, or from 6.2.0 to 6.2.0. If you are downgrading from 6.2.0 to 6.1.x, you must isue the firmwareDownload -s command as described in "Test and restore firmware on enterprise-class platforms" on page 228.
