FIGURE 141 Firmware download to HBAs
8. Select the HBAs that you want to upgrade on the SAN Elements tab, and either drag them to
the Selected HBAs panel or click the right arrow. Use Shift-click and Ctrl-click to select multiple
HBAs.
You can also drag a fabric name from the SAN Elements tab into the Selected HBAs panel to
add all of the HBAs from that fabric.
ATTENTION
Simultaneous firmware download to one or more HBAs on the same host from multiple Fabric
Manager clients is not supported and will most likely permanently corrupt the firmware on the
HBAs, causing them to be unusable.
Non-FDMI capable HBAs appear with a gray background.
If multiple device ports are configured on a host to share the same device node WWN, Fabric
Manager randomly selects one of the device ports and performs the HBA firmware download
only to that device port.
If Fabric Manager detects that a device is no longer in the Name Server, the device is displayed
with a gray background in the Firmware Download to HBAs dialog box until the device logs into
the Name Server again.
9. Click Download to begin the firmware download. Fabric Manager prompts you with a
confirmation dialog.
10. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to abort. Fabric Manager provides a report of successful and
unsuccessful downloads.
