12 HP StorageWorks Director release notes
Note: The director loses its Ethernet connection for a short period during the switchover
process.
When switchover occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup CTP card
to indicate that it is now the active card.
5. Upgrade the firmware to 05.02.00-13 on each director using the Send option
on the Firmware Library dialog box.
Considerations for downgrading the version of firmware
Directors or edge switches are not required to be offline before performing a
firmware downgrade operation. 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 information.
Downgrading directly to a release before 05.00.00 from 06.02.00-22 is not
allowed. To downgrade to a release before 05.00.00, you must first downgrade to
05.YY.ZZ.
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.
Note: The Director 2/140 and the Edge Switch 2/24 cannot be downgraded earlier
than 04.01.00, and the Edge Switch 2/12 cannot be downgraded earlier than
05.05.00.
