Checking connected switches
If the switch to be upgraded is running version 4.1.x (or later), it is recommended that all switches directly
connected to it be running versions no earlier than 2.6.1, 3.1.x, or 4.1.x. If some connected switches are
running older firmware, upgrade them to
at least
the earliest recommended version (shown in
Table 43
)
before upgrading firmware on your switch.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the “Current supported Fabric OS versions” table
in the
HP StorageWorks Fabric
OS release notes
for the recommended firmware versions. Access the most up-to-date Release Notes and
the latest supported firmware from
http://www.hp.com

• Kernel—Displays the version of switch kernel operating system.

Obtaining and decompressing firmware
NOTE: The following steps describe how to download firmware. Web retrieval procedures may be
subject to change.
To access the latest Fabric OS 5.2.x firmware, configuration files and MIB files go to the following HP web
site:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure/index.html
You must decompress the firmware (using the UNIX
tar
or
gzip
command for all .gzip files, or a
Windows unzip program for all .zip files) before you can use the
firmwareDownload
command to
update the firmware on your equipment.
When you unpack the downloaded firmware it expands into a directory that is named according to the
version of Fabric OS it contains. For example, if you download and unzip
Fabric OS 5.2.x.zip
, it expands
into a directory called
5.2.x
. When you issue the
firmwareDownload
command, there is an automatic
search for the correct package file type associated with your switch. Specify only the path to the
5.2.x
directory.
