HA-Fabric Manager transition guide 11
Upgrade considerations
The following considerations apply when upgrading to this HAFM 8.8 release:
• You cannot install a HAFM 8.x package on an existing notebook server due to memory and
other limitations.
• You can upgrade only an HAFM appliance running HAFM 07.02.00 or later to HAFM 8.x.
• After installing HAFM 8.x on an HAFM appliance, you must re-install the client application on
all remote clients running earlier versions of the HAFM.
• Once the HAFM appliance is upgraded to HAFM 8.x, any downgrade of HAFM to an earlier
release results in the loss of saved firmware files.
