Prerequisites for installing and using firmware 07.01.02 If you are using HAFM, firmware 07.01.02 requires HAFM 07.01.00 or later (check with HP Customer Support for the latest shipping version of HAFM). HAFM should be at the minimum level before installing the new firmware. NOTE: HAFM is not required for operating hardware products using the firmware. All directors and edge switches in the same fabric should have the same firmware level installed. Although products may coexist in a fabric running different levels of firmware, all products must be at the same major functional release level. HAFM upgrade required for firmware version 07.xx.xx To upgrade to firmware 07.01.02-4, you must first upgrade the HAFM software to 07.01.00-9 minimum, if you are using the notebook HAFM server to manage the director or edge switch. The HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-820). An upgrade kit to HAFM 07.01.00-9 is also available, Part Number 320908-B22, for owners of license for previous versions. This HAFM upgrade is also available on the following HP web site: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM appliance to manage the director or edge switch, the minimum HAFM version required is 07.02.00-9, which is the minimum version installed. This HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-720). The previous minimum versions of HAFM allow you to manage directors or edge switches running 07.01.02-4 firmware, but to be able to use all the new features and enhancements, you need to upgrade HAFM to 08.06.00, which runs only on the 1U rack-mount HAFM appliance. As an alternative, you can perform the firmware upgrade directly to the director or edge switch using their EWS. Please contact your local HP technical resource if you need to obtain a new HAFM version. Please contact your local HP technical resource to confirm compatibility with devices in your SAN before upgrading to this firmware version. For more information on upgrading software versions, refer to the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide. The features of this software version are detailed in the accompanying manuals listed in section Other HAFM documentation. 8
