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 configuration. Refer to your HP StorageWorks Director Element Manager
User Guide for more information. EWS also provides an option to print or save product
configuration to a file. Refer to your HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User
Guide for more informa tion.
Before downgrading below 07.01.02 -4, there can only be one user assigned access
rights as Administrator and one user assigned as Operator for Embedded Web Server
and CLI. If additional users were created, you have to delete them before downgrading.
Firmware 07.01.02-4 does not allow the last user with Administrator rights in Embe dde d
Web Server or CLI to be deleted. If no Operator user exists, firmware 07.01.02-4
automatically creates one for each interface during the downgrade. If more than one
Administrator and/or one O p erator exists for Embedded Web Server and/or CLI, when
attempting to downgrade you are prompted to delete one of them first.
When downgrading to a release prior to 07.01.02-4, any modifications to the port
RX BB_Credit settings using the new enhanced port configuration capability must be
changed b ack to a con figuration supported by older firmware.Thisisnecessarytoallow
the configu ration to comply with previous releases’ configuration database. Firmware
07.01.02-4 services verify compatibility and prevent downloads until the configuration
conflict is resolved.
