Important Information
13Edge Switch Release Notes
Upgrading Firmware on an Edge Switch
An issue has been identified in release 04.xx.xx if the contents of the nonvolatile
storage (NVRAM) on the CTP become corrupted. Once the configuration has
been loaded, this corruption is not detected until an IPL/IML, power cycle, or
Firmware code load. If the NVRAM in the CTP has corrupted contents, the
firmware load can cause the configuration to reset to factory defaults, which could
cause a system outage.
Edge Switch products already running Version 05.01.00 or later, continually
validate the NVRAM configuration, so risk of an outage is extremely low. For
Edge Switch products running an earlier version of firmware, the risk of an outage
increases due to the NVRAM issue. If an outage compromises system integrity,
HP recommends that the edge switch firmware upgrade be a scheduled
maintenance action that anticipates the failure of switch connectivity. This issue is
corrected with Version 05.02.00-13 firmware.
1. Upgrade HAFM software on the HAFM server/appliance to Version 07.01.00
(minimum).
2. Download Firmware V05.02.00-13 using the Firmware Library option
under the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
3. Back up the edge switch configuration using the Backup & Restore
Configuration option under the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
4. Upgrade the Firmware to Version 05.02.00-13 on each edge switch using the
Send option on the Firmware Library dialog box.
