HAFM software version 08.02.00

The HAFM appliance has the latest version of the HAFM software pre-installed.

It is also contained on the HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager documentation

and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-820, Rev B). HAFM 08.02.00 applies

to the 1U rack-mount appliance only and cannot be installed on the notebook

server.

All remote clients running down-level versions of HAFM are required to re-install

the client application. You must exit HAFM before installing the latest version of

HAFM. When logging in to the HAFM appliance via the remote client, an error

message is displayed stating that the new version must be installed. Follow the

instructions to install the new version of the remote client.

Important information

This section describes important information related to the HAFM software, the

Edge Switch 2/24, Edge Switch 2/32, Director 2/64, and Director 2/140.

Upgrading from previous HAFM versions requires a special process

If you have an HAFM notebook server or an HAFM appliance and you are

upgrading to HAFM 08.02.00, you must follow the directions as detailed in the

HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager Transition Guide, to successfully transfer

your SAN configuration information to HAFM 08.02.00.

HAFM 08.02.00 improvements

The HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager Transition Guide, shipped with the

product, explains upgrading HAFM from an earlier version.

Improved user interface

The user interface was redesigned to provide a number of improvements.

Role-based access control

Role-based access control gives you more control over user accounts and

permissions. You can define various user access levels with rights to perform

specific actions and select certain views.

Zoning functionality improved

Various functionality has been added to the zoning feature, including:

■Zone replacement

■Zone set comparisons

■Zone set export and import

New zoning importing features require special procedures. Refer to the online

help or user guide for instructions.

Preferred Path support

This feature is a new feature available through the Element Managers. You can

define a Preferred Path by selecting the preferred interswitch link (ISL) to use

between an ingress switch port and a remote switch. This feature provides

management control over routes taken across the fabric to better accommodate

network traffic engineering.

Performance Monitor

Use the Performance Monitor feature to measure and graphically display

performance statistics, historic metrics, and future trends of every switch port on

your SAN. Identify over-utilized and under-utilized ports, as well as trends and

problem areas so they can be addressed quickly.

Note: This is an optional feature. Please contact your sales representative to purchase.

Event Management module

Use the Event Management feature to define and monitor specific conditions or

events and then trigger actions, such as report generation or pager alerts, when

conditions occur. This feature enables you to automate routine tasks to reduce the

amount of hands-on SAN management necessary.

Note: This is an optional feature. Please contact your sales representative to purchase.

SAN Planning module

Use the Planning feature to plan a new SAN and then evaluate that SAN using

best-practice configuration rules. This ensures the design of a scalable,

cost-effective storage network that is best suited to your needs. You can save

considerable time and money by planning your SAN before implementing it.

Note: This is an optional feature. Please contact your sales representative to purchase.

HAFM and firmware compatibility

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

of firmware for the directors and edge switches. HAFM 08.02.00 allows

managing of directors and edge switches running any of the versions of firmware

listed in Table 1.

Prerequisites for installing and using firmware 06.02.00

If you are using HAFM, firmware 06.02.00 requires HAFM 07.01.00 or later

(check with HP Customer Support for the latest shipping version of HAFM).

HAFM should be at the minimum level before installing the new firmware.

Note: HAFM is not required for operating hardware products using the firmware.

All directors and edge switches in the same fabric should have the same firmware

level installed. Although products may co-exist in a fabric running different levels

of firmware, all products must be at the same major functional release level.

Upgrading from an earlier version of firmware

Upgrading to firmware 06.02.00-22 is non-disruptive to attached devices. The

director or edge switch 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

director or edge switch configuration. Refer to your HP StorageWorks Director or

Edge Switch Element 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.

All products must be running firmware 05.00.00 or later before upgrading to

06.02.00-22. If a switch is operating with a firmware level earlier than 05.00.00,

you must upgrade to 05.xx.xx before installing 06.02.00-22.

Upgrades and downgrades are supported only from one major release to the next,

such as from 05.xx.xx to 06.02.00-22. If EWS is used for upgrades and

downgrades, and this rule is not followed, errors occur and there may be a

disruption to attached devices.

About this document

10 HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager release notes

If upgrading to firmware 06.02.00-22 requires you to upgrade from 04.xx.xx to

05.xx.xx in the process, there are special considerations. If you are upgrading a

director, see “Upgrading firmware on a director from 04.xx.xx to 05.xx.xx” on

page 10. If you are upgrading an edge switch, see “Upgrading firmware on an

edge switch from 04.xx.xx to 05.xx.xx” on page 11.

A small number of early-shipped Surestore Director FC-64 units may receive one

of the following messages when they upgrade to firmware 05.02.00-13:

■HAFM—Firmware cannot be loaded due to insufficient

CTP memory.

■EWS—File System Error: Insufficient memory for new

firmware version.

This occurs only in certain units with CTP cards. Units with CTP2 cards do not

have this issue.

If you get one of these messages during the upgrade, the firmware upgrade failed,

but the unit continues working with the existing firmware without an interruption

in service. The upgrade process checks for sufficient memory before activating the

new firmware image. The firmware upgrade does not complete without sufficient

memory. Please contact HP Customer Support if you receive this message.

Upgrading firmware on a director from 04.xx.xx to 05.xx.xx

An issue has been identified in release 04.xx.xx if the contents of the nonvolatile

storage (NVRAM) on the active CTP become corrupted. Once the configuration

has been loaded, this corruption is not detected until an IPL/IML, power cycle, or

firmware code load. If the NVRAM in the active CTP has corrupted contents, the

firmware load can cause the configuration to reset to factory defaults, which could

cause a system outage. By using the following procedure to upgrade firmware,

configuration can be preserved and a system outage can be avoided. This issue

was corrected with firmware 05.02.00-13 and later.

Note: Step 4 of the following procedure is not required if you are upgrading from

05.xx.xx or later.

To safely upgrade firmware on a director, perform the following:

1. Upgrade HAFM software on the HAFM server/appliance to 07.01.00

(minimum).
