5. Choose Maintenance > Firmware Library. The Director Firmware Library
dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 4–1.
6. Select the firmware version to be downloaded and click Send. The send function
verifies existence of certain director conditions before the download process
begins. If an error occurs, a message displays indicating the problem must be fixed
before firmware is downloaded. Conditions that terminate the process include:
• A redundant CTP2 card failure.
• The firmware version is being installed to the director by another user.
• The director-to-HAFM server link is down.
If a problem occurs and a corresponding message displays, refer to the hp
StorageWorks director 2/64 service manual for specific information on isolating
the problem. If no error occurs, the Send Firmware confirmation box displays, as
shown in Figure 4–6.

7. Click Yes. The Send Firmware dialog box displays.
As the download begins, a “Writing data to FLASH” message displays at
the top of the dialog box, followed by a “Sending Files” message. This
message remains as a progress bar travels across the dialog box to show percent
completion of the download. The bar progresses to 50% when the last file is
transmitted to the first CTP2 card. The bar remains at the 50% point until the
director performs an Initial Program Load (IPL) (indicated by an “IPLing”
message). During the IPL, the director-to-HAFM server link drops momentarily
and the following occur at the Product Manager:
• As the network connection drops, the director Status table turns yellow, the
Status field displays No Link, and the State field displays a reason
message.
• The alert panel at the bottom of the navigation control panel displays a grey
square, indicating director status is unknown.
• Illustrated FRUs in the Hardware View page are removed, and then
displayed again as the connection is re-established.
