About this document
10 HP StorageWorks Director release notes
Before upgrading 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. Embedded Web Server
(EWS) also provides an option to print or save product configuration to a file.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User Guide for more
information.
All products must be running firmware 05.00.00 or later before upgrading to
06.02.00-22. If a switch is operating with a firmware level earlier than 05.00.00,
you must upgrade to 05.xx.xx before installing 06.02.00-22.
Upgrades and downgrades are supported only from one major release to the next,
such as from 05.xx.xx to 06.02.00-22. If EWS is used for upgrades and
downgrades, and this rule is not followed, errors occur and there may be a
disruption to attached devices.
If upgrading to firmware 06.02.00-22 requires you to upgrade from 04.xx.xx to
05.xx.xx in the process, there are special considerations, as detailed in the section,
“Upgrading firmware on a director from 04.xx.xx to 05.xx.xx” on page 11.
A small number of early-shipped Surestore Director FC-64 units may receive one
of the following messages when they upgrade to firmware 05.02.00-13:
■ HAFM—Firmware cannot be loaded due to insufficient
CTP memory.
■ EWS—File System Error: Insufficient memory for new
firmware version.
This occurs only in certain units with CTP cards. Units with CTP2 cards do not
have this issue.
If you get one of these messages during the upgrade, the firmware upgrade failed,
but the unit continues working with the existing firmware without an interruption
in service. The upgrade process checks for sufficient memory before activating the
new firmware image. The firmware upgrade does not complete without sufficient
memory. Please contact HP Customer Support if you receive this message.
