FIGURE 133 Firmware repository management
Viewing the firmware repository
1. Select a firmware version in the Repository pane to display its information.
2. Click View to read the release notes associated with that particular firmware version.
The Supported Switch Type Information table displays the switches supported by the selected
version. Fabric Manager determines which switches are supported based on the switch type
and also on the blade types in the switch.
You can display all supported switch types or just the switches within your SAN that are
supported.
Firmware import and removal
You can import firmware into the repository by specifying the local directory on which the firmware
file and its release notes are located. Firmware files are in a .gz or .zip format.
A comparison of file names and metadata (firmware version) is performed each time you import. If
the file or version you select is already in the repository, you are given the option to overwrite the
existing file.
