When switchover occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup CTP card to indicate that it is now the active card. NOTE: You must have maintenance authorization rights to access the HAFM Product/ Element Manager menu options used in this procedure. 5. Upgrade the firmware to 05.02.00-13 on each director using the Send option on the Firmware Library dialog box. Considerations for downgrading the version of firmware Directors or edge switches are not required to be offline before performing a firmware downgrade operation. Limitations to downgrades are clearly identified if there are any limitations to performing the operation. Before downgrading firmware, it is highly recommended that you back up the director or edge switch configuration. Refer to your HP StorageWorks Director Element Manager User Guide for more information. EWS also provides an option to print or save product configuration to a file. Refer to your HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User Guide for more information. Before downgrading below 07.01.02-4, there can only be one user assigned access rights as Administrator and one user assigned as Operator for Embedded Web Server and CLI. If additional users were created, you have to delete them before downgrading. Firmware 07.01.02-4 does not allow the last user with Administrator rights in Embedded Web Server or CLI to be deleted. If no Operator user exists, firmware 07.01.02-4 automatically creates one for each interface during the downgrade. If more than one Administrator and/or one Operator exists for Embedded Web Server and/or CLI, when attempting to downgrade you are prompted to delete one of them first. When downgrading to a release prior to 07.01.02-4, any modifications to the port RX BB_Credit settings using the new enhanced port configuration capability must be changed back to a configuration supported by older firmware. This is necessary to allow the configuration to comply with previous releases' configuration database. Firmware 07.01.02-4 services verify compatibility and prevent downloads until the configuration conflict is resolved. For procedures to download firmware to the switch or director using the HAFM Element Manager interface or EWS interface, refer to the following: • The switch or director Installation and Service Manual. This publication provides complete procedures for obtaining firmware from the HP web site and downloading firmware to the switch or director using HAFM. • The switch or director Element Manager online help and User Manual. These includes instructions for downloading firmware to the switch or director using the HAFM interface. Director release notes 11
