Adding a firmware version

The firmware version shipped with the director is provided on the director documentation CD.

Subsequent firmware versions to upgrade the director are provided to customers through the HP

website.

NOTE: When adding firmware, follow procedural information in the release notes that accompany

the firmware version. The release notes provide supplemental information to this procedure.

Use these steps to add a director firmware version to the library stored on the HAFM appliance hard

drive:

1. Obtain the new firmware version from the HP website:

http://www.hp.com/country/us/eng/support .htm l

a. Click Firmware Downloads in the left panel.

b. Click the Director Firmware Version XX.YY.ZZ entry, where XX.YY.ZZ is the version.

The Windows Save As dialog box appears.

Verify or correct the directory path specified in the Save in box and the file name specified in

the File name box.

c. Click Save.

The new firmware version is downloaded and saved to the HAFM appliance or PC hard

drive.

d. If the new firmware version was downloaded to a PC (not the HAFM appliance), transfer the

firmware version file to the HAFM appliance by backup disk, CD-ROM, or other electronic

means.

2. Open the HAFM application.

The View All - HAFM 8.6 main window appears.
