If a Director 2/140 in a multiswitch fabric is downgraded earlier than 06.02.00, ISLs could become segmented if there are any other switches in the fabric operating with a firmware version earlier than 06.01.00. To prevent this situation, downgrade all Director 2/140s in the fabric to 06.01.00 before downgrading any products in the fabric to 05.xx.xx. This problem only exists with Director 2/140s in the fabric. HAFM displays a warning message if a downgrade from 06.02.00 is attempted, but you can continue with the downgrade if desired. NOTE: The warning message is displayed when downgrading any model from 06.02.00, but only applies to downgrade operations for the Director 2/140. Downgrades directly to 05.03.01 from 06.xx.xx is not concurrent when the second-generation Edge Switch 2/24 is configured in Open Fabric operating mode. In other words, downgrades in Open Fabric mode cannot be done with the second-generation Edge Switch 2/24 online without disrupting port operations. Since second-generation Edge Switch 2/24 switches cannot be downgraded earlier than 05.03.01, they must be configured in Homogeneous Fabric Interoperability mode to remain concurrent. If this process is not followed, I/O through the switch may be significantly disrupted or stopped. Recovery for this situation is accomplished by reactivating the current zone set. If you are installing a new or replacement second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 or Edge Switch 2/24 into an existing 05.xx.xx fabric, HP recommends that you downgrade the unit before installing it into the fabric. Downgrading to 05.05.00 is supported only on first-generation Edge Switch 2/12 switches. Second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 switches can be downgraded only to 05.05.01. Second-generation Edge Switch 2/24 switches can be downgraded only to 05.03.01. Firmware downgrades should not be performed using EWS and Internet Explorer 5.00.3315.1000x. If this operation is performed, the download operation may not complete and may eventually time-out leaving the switch with the previous version of firmware. Logging out of Microsoft Windows after access to HAFM appliance is recommended After you access the HAFM appliance desktop via a web browser using the TightVNC application, HP recommends that you log out of Microsoft Windows before disconnecting your web browser access. This prevents unauthorized access to the HAFM appliance by someone using the TightVNC application to access the HAFM appliance. When the new user attempts to log into the HAFM appliance, the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, and a Windows user name and password are required to access the HAFM appliance Windows desktop. HAFM remote client access does not require the HAFM appliance to be logged in to Windows. HA-Fabric Manager release notes 13
