376 XgOS User’s Guide • September 2014
While the first Fabric Interconnect was unavailable, host servers that were using it
failed over to use the other Fabric Interconnect for their I/O. Assuming that you do
not have automatic switchover configured, they will remain with that Fabric
Interconnect until they reboot after receiving their host driver upgrade.
If this is your first Fabric Interconnect, the next task is to upgrade the host drivers,
HCA firmware, and the option ROM for each host server. See the following
procedures:
■ “Upgrade Linux Host Servers That Boot Locally” on page 20-376
■ “Upgrading Linux Hosts In a SAN Boot Environment” on page 379
■ “Upgrade VMware Host Servers” on page 20-380
■ “Upgrading Windows Host Servers” on page 20-381
If this was your second Fabric Interconnect you have completed the upgrade
process. If you are using Oracle’s Fabric Interconnect, upgrade the standalone
software packages by uninstalling the older software and installing the new
software. Refer to the installing Fabric Interconnect section in the Oracle Fabric
Manager User’s Guide.
