. 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 CTP card failure.
• The firmware version is being installed to the Edge Switch by another user.
• The Edge Switch-to-HAFM appliance link is down.
If a problem occurs and a corresponding message is displayed, refer to the
HP StorageWorks
Edge Switch 2/24 service manual
for specific information on isolating the problem. If no error

. 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 CTP 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
events 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 CTPs
message is displayed. This message remains as files
are transmitted to the second CTP card and the progress bar travels across the dialog box to
100%. When the download reaches 100%, a
Send firmware complete
message is
displayed.
