Upgrading to HAFM 08.08.00 issues

The password for the Administrator must be reset to password before upgrading. If

this is not performed before upgrading, the HAFM appliance may stop immediately

after starting it.

Upgrading to HAFM 08.08.00 from 08.02.00 requires HAFM Services to be stopped

manually.

The password for HAFM Administrator does not migrate from HAFM 07.xx.xx to HAFM

08.08.00. The password is reset to the default value password in HAFM 08.08.00.

Call Home conﬁgu ration is not migrated from HAFM 08.02.00 to HAFM 08.08.00

during upgrade. The Call Home information must be conﬁgured again after the upgrade.

Conﬁguration information for switches that are not being managed locally are not

included in the upgrade.

Firmware ﬁles a re included in the upgrade process, but release rules are not. Since

release rules are required when sending another ﬁrmwar e version to a switch, an error

results. To avoid this problem, add the latest ﬁrmware ﬁle to the ﬁrmware library. This

also adds the new release rules and resolves the problem.

HAFM 07.02.00 is not removed after upgrading to HAFM 08.xx.xx, and if the ser ver is

rebooted, both 07.xx.xx and 08.xx.xx services are started. Be sure to remove 07.02.00

after upgrading to 08.xx.xx.
