HP StorageWorks Director and Edge Switch Release Notes (09.09.08) (5697-0720, October 2010)

HAFM upgrade required for firmware 09.09.08

Consider the following HAFM requirements for firmware 09.09.08:

• 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. This HAFM software is provided on the HP Stor-

ageWorks HA-Fabric Manager documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-720).

• This minimum version of HAFM allows you to manage Edge Switches or Directors running firmware

09.09.08. However, to manage all of the newer switch features and enhancements, you may

upgrade to EFCM software 09.07.00. To migrate from HAFM to EFCM, you must first upgrade

to HAFM 08.09.01. An upgrade kit for HAFM 08.09.01 (Part Number A7490A) is available for

owners of a licensed version of HAFM. Contact your HP-authorized service representative to obtain

a HAFM upgrade kit. This HAFM upgrade is also available on the following HP website:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/networking/index.html

Select Retired Products, navigate to your switch model, and then select Download drivers and

software.

• HP recommends using DCFM Enterprise or DCFM Professional Plus version 10.3.0 or later to

manage your M-series Edge Switches or Directors. You can migrate from an installation of EFCM

09.07.00 to DCFM Enterprise 10.3.0.

Alternatively, you can perform the firmware upgrade directly to the Edge Switch or Director using the

switch's HAFM Basic management interface.

For more information about upgrading software versions, see the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager

user guide.
