Firmware installation This section provides firmware installation information. Prerequisites for installing and using firmware 09.08.03 Consider the following prerequisites for firmware 09.08.03: Before you install the new firmware, HAFM should be at the minimum level. Before upgrading to firmware version 09.08.03, EFCM must be at version 09.07.00 or later if you are using EFCM to manage your Edge Switches or Directors. - Page 11 NOTE: The following HP firmware versions are considered to be within one functional release: 09.08.03, 09.08.01, 09.07.02 09.06.02 09.03.00, 09.02.00, 09.00.00 08.02.00, 08.01.01, 08.01.00 07.01.03, 07.01.02, 07.00.00 If you use HAFM Basic for upgrades and downgrades, and the release version rule is not followed, errors will occur and there may be a disruption to attached devices.
- Page 12 NOTE: You must have maintenance authorization rights to access the HAFM Product/Element Manager menu options used in this procedure. To safely upgrade firmware on a Director: Upgrade the HAFM software on the HAFM Server/Appliance to 07.01.00 (minimum). Download firmware 05.02.00-13 by selecting Firmware Library from the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
- Page 13 Upgrade the firmware to 05.02.00-13 on each Edge Switch by selecting Send in the Firmware Library dialog box. Considerations for downgrading the firmware version Edge Switches or Directors are not required to be offline before performing a firmware downgrade operation. Limitations to performing a downgrade are clearly identified. Before downgrading firmware, HP recommends that you back up the Edge Switch or Director configuration.
- Page 14 HAFM upgrade required for firmware 09.08.03 Consider the following HAFM requirements for firmware 09.08.03: If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM Appliance to manage the Edge Switch or Director, the minimum HAFM version required is 08.09.01.
