Considerations for downgrading the version of fi rmware
Directorsoredgeswitchesarenotrequiredtobeofflinebeforeperformingafirmware
downgrade o peration. Limitations to downgrades are clearly identified if there are any
limitations to performing the operation.
Before downgrading firmware, it is highly recommended that you back up the director
or edge switch confi guration. Refer to your HP StorageWorks director or edge switch
Element Manager user guide for more information. EWS also provides an option to print
or save product configuration to a file. R efer to your HP StorageWorks Embedded Web
Server User Guide for more information.
Before downgrading below 07.00.00-84, there can only be one user assigned access
rights as Administrator and one user assigned as Operator for Embedded Web Ser ver
and CLI. If additional users were created, you have to delete them before downgrading.
Firmware 07.00.00-84 does not allow the last user with Administrator rights i n
Embedded Web Server or C LI to be deleted. If no Operator user exists, firmware
07.00.00-84 automatically creates one for each interface during the d owngrade. If more
than one Administrator and/or one Operator exists for Embedded Web Server and/or
CLI, when attempting to downgra de you are prompted to delete one of them first.
When downgrading to a release prior to 07.00.00-84, any modifications to the port
RX BB_Credit settings using the new enhanced port configuration capability must be
changed back to a configuration supported by older firmware.Thisisnecessarytoallow
the configu ration to comply with previous releases’ configuration database. Firmware
07.00.00-84 services verify compatibility and prevent d ownloads until the configuration
conflict is resolved.
