HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch Firmware 2.0.1.0 Release Notes

NOTE: By default, the Update both Active and Passive switches is selected. HP strongly
recommends accepting this default, so that the chance of a firmware mis-match is reduced.

process may corrupt the firmware.

During the reset process, you are automatically logged out of VSM.
10. Wait a few minutes for the switches to reset.
11. Clear all temporary Internet files from the browser cache.
