d. Click Backup. When the backup process finishes, the Backup Complete

dialog box displays.

e. Click OK to close the dialog box and return to the Hardware View page.

4. Choose Maintenance > Firmware Library. The Switch Firmware Library

dialog box displays (Figure 56).

5. Choose 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 displays 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 displays, 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 displays

6. Click Yes. The Send Firmware dialog box displays.

As the download begins, a “Writing data to FLASH” message

displays 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.
