NOTE:

The warning message is displayed when downgrading any model from 06.02.00, but

HAFM upgrade required for firmware version 07.xx.xx

To upgrade to firmware 07.00.00-84, you must first upgrade the H A FM 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 C D (Part N umber 516-000024-820).

An upgrade kit to HAFM 07.01.00-9 is also available, Par t Number 320908-B22, for

owners of license for previous versions. This HAFM upgrade is also available on the

following HP web site: h

ttp://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html

If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM appliance to ma nage the director or edge

switch, the minimum HA FM 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 07.00.00-84 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.
