Important Information

This section describes important information related to the Edge Switch 2/24,

Edge Switch 2/32, Director 2/64, and Director 2/140.

HAFM Server for Windows 2000 Setup Requirements

The HAFM Sever for Windows 2000® requires specific setup before installing

the HAFM software. These requirements include first restoring the notebook PC

to Windows 2000, because the notebook is delivered with Windows XP®

installed, which is not compatible with the HAFM software. Other setups include

installing the Windows Internet Information Server (IIS), and configuring the Web

Server and FTP Server. Refer to the HP StorageWorks HAFM Server for Windows

2000 Installation Guide for complete step-by-step instructions for setting up the

HAFM server for Windows 2000.

HAFM and Firmware Version Compatibility

Table 1 lists the minimum version of HAFM that can run with the various versions

of firmware for the directors and edge switches.

8HA-Fabric Manager Release Notes

Upgrading to an Earlier Version of Firmware

Upgrading to firmware version 05.01.00-24 is nondisruptive to attached devices.

The edge switch or director is not required to be offline before performing an

upgrade operation. Limitations to upgrades are clearly identified if there are any

limitations to performing the operation.

Before upgrading firmware, it is highly recommended that you back up the edge

switch or director configuration in the event that a failure should occur. Refer to

the switch or director Product Manager user guide for more information.

Embedded Web Server (EWS) also provides an option to print or save product

configuration to a file. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User

Guide for more information.

Before upgrading the Director 2/64 or Director 2/140 to version 05.01.00-24,

execute a CTP switchover to assure that the backup CTP card is fully functional.

To execute a CTP switchover, perform the following steps:

1. From Product Manager Hardware view, verify that an amber LED indicator

does not display for either CTP card.

2. Right-click on a CTP card and choose Switchover from the menu.

Note: The switch or director will lose its Ethernet connection for a short period

during the switchover process.

3. Upgrade firmware to version 05.01.00-24.

All products must be running firmware version 04.00.00 or higher before

upgrading to version 05.01.00-24. If a switch or director is operating with a

firmware level below 04.00.00, you must upgrade to version 04.00.00 or higher

before installing version 05.01.00-24.

All products must be running version 02.00.00 or higher before upgrading to

version 04.01.02-04. Upgrading to version 04.01.02-04 from version 02.00.00 or

higher is nondisruptive to attached devices.

Firmware that predates the 01.03.00 or 01.04.00 firmware release must first be

upgraded to a 01.03.xx or 01.04.xx firmware version, and then upgraded to

version 02.00.00 or higher, before the upgrade to version 04.01.02-04 can be

completed.

9HA-Fabric Manager Release Notes

Considerations for Downgrading the Version of Firmware

Directors and 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

edge switch or director configuration in the event that a failure should occur. Refer

to the switch or director Product Manager user guide for more information.

Embedded Web Server (EWS) also provides an option to print or save product

configuration to a file. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User

Guide for more information.

Downgrading directly to a version prior to 04.00.00 from version 05.01.00-24 is

not allowed. To downgrade to a version before 04.00.00, you must first downgrade

to version 04.YY.ZZ.

Note: The Director 2/140 and Edge Switch 2/24 cannot be downgraded below

version 04.01.00.

Downgrading directly to a version prior to 02.00.00 from version 04.YY.ZZ is not

allowed. To downgrade to a version before 02.00.00, you must first downgrade to

version 02.YY.ZZ.

Firmware downgrades should not be performed using EWS and Microsoft®

Internet Explorer version 5.00.3315.1000x. If this operation is performed, the

download operation may not complete and may eventually time-out leaving the

switch with the previous version of firmware.

HAFM Upgrade Required for Firmware Version 05.01.00-24

If you are using the HAFM server to manage the Director 2/140, Director 2/64,

Edge Switch 2/32, Edge Switch 2/24, and/or Edge Switch 2/16, and they are

running firmware version 05.01.00-24, you need to upgrade HAFM to version

07.01.00-09 (minimum). For more information on upgrading software versions,

refer to the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide. The features of

this software version are detailed in the accompanying manuals listed in section

“Other HAFM Documentation”.

Important Information

10 HA-Fabric Manager Release Notes

Open Trunking Feature is Not Available in Current Release

The Open Trunking feature is not available in Firmware Version 05.01.00-24.

Open Trunking feature will be available in a future release.

Zoning is Disabled by Default

The default zone on the Edge Switch 2/24, Edge Switch 2/32, Director 2/64, and

Director 2/140 is disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in order for any

devices connected to the switches to communicate.

Hard Zoning

Hard Zoning is a security enhancement in firmware version 05.01.00-24 that

prevents ports from accessing devices outside their zones. Hard Zoning is enabled

by default when using firmware version 05.01.00-24 or greater and cannot be

disabled. All HP-approved host bus adapters (HBAs) limit access to devices

within their zones, so you will not see a change in fabric behavior unless you are

using nonstandard HBAs. Hard Zoning improves security against intruders that

load nonstandard HBA drivers.

Hard Zoning is compatible with legacy zone definitions, including World Wide

Name (WWN) and port zoning. You can use your existing zones and zone sets

without any changes. There are no changes to the zoning interfaces, so you do not

need to modify your zone management practice, documentation, or retrain Storage

Area Network (SAN) administrators.

Hard Zoning controls access at the ingress port. When a port attempts to send a

frame to a destination outside its zones, the frame is blocked. A Class 2 frame will

be fabric rejected, and a Class 3 frame will be dropped.

Zoning Change RSCN Control

Normally, when a zone set is activated, a fabric format domain Register State

Change Notification (RSCN) is sent to all devices in the fabric. With firmware

version 05.01.00-24. you can disable these RSCNs from being sent. This is done

using the Suppress RSCNs on zone set activations check box on the Configure

Switch Parameters dialog box.
