5. Select the firmware version to be downloaded and click Send. The send function verifies

existence of certain edge switch conditions before the download process begins. If an error

occurs, a message is displayed 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 edge switch by another user.

• The edge switch-to-HAFM appliance fails or times out.

If a problem occurs and a corresponding message is displayed, refer to the HP StorageWorks

Edge Switch 2/32 service manual for specific information on isolating the problem. If no error

occurs, the Send Firmware confirmation box is displayed.

6. Click Yes. The Send Firmware dialog box is displayed.

As the download begins, a Writing data to FLASH message is displayed 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 edge switch performs an Initial Program Load (IPL) (indicated by an IPLing message).

During the IPL, the edge switch-to-HAFM appliance link drops momentarily and the following

occur at the Element Manager:

• As the network connection drops, the edge switch 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 edge switch status is unknown.

• Illustrated FRUs in the Hardware View page are removed, and then displayed again as the

connection is re-established.

After the IPL, a Synchronizing CTP2s message is displayed. This message remains as files

are transmitted to the second CTP2 card and the progress bar travels across the dialog box to

100%. When the download reaches 100%, a Send firmware complete message is

displayed.

7. Click Close to close the dialog box.

8. Click Close to complete the operation.
