Features Summary

6 SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes

The FW232.TXT configuration file is used with the SAN Switch 2/32. This file

includes switch and Fabric Watch default parameters. All parameters (except the

Note: Performing a configdownload with these files only appends or changes those

parameters within this file. It will not change any other parameter on the switch which

may have been changed at the customer site. Remember that all switches in a fabric

must have the same configuration settings.

Important Information Regarding Rack Mounting Hardware

The hp StorageWorks SAN Switch Universal Rack Mount Kit is included with

your switch. See the hp StorageWorks SAN Switch Universal Rack Mount Kit

Installation Addendum, part number AV-RU6YA-TE, supplied with the rack

mount kit for installation instructions.

Note: HP highly recommends installing the switch in racks with only the hardware

supplied with your switch. Using longer than recommended screws to install your switch

into a rack will result in physical damage to the switch motherboard.

HP Recommendations

10 SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes

HP Recommendations

HP always recommends redundant fabrics and multi-pathing software for

uptime-sensitive environments. Examples of scenarios protected by redundant

fabrics include, but are not limited to:

■Add / Move / Change operations for devices or switches

■Changing the core PID format

■Changing any other fabric-wide parameters (for example, ED_TOV)

■Erroneous zoning changes / user error

■Major upgrades / changes to fabric architecture

■Physical disasters, for example, water pipe breaks above “fabric A” rack

HP recommends strongly against using drivers that bind by PID. There are several

routine maintenance procedures which may result in a device receiving a new

PID; the core PID format update is just one example of such a procedure.

Examples include, but are not limited to:

■Changing “Compatibility Mode” settings

■Changing switch domain IDs

■Merging fabrics

■Relocating devices to new ports or new switches (that is, for Add, Move,

Change type operations)

■Updating the core PID format

■Using hot spare switch ports to deal with failures

Firmware Overview

Firmware v4.0.2b works with HP StorageWorks 2 Gbps switch models only. The

firmware will not work if loaded onto HP StorageWorks 1 Gbps switch models.

HP recommends that all switches supported by the 4.0.x code stream be updated

to Version 4.0.2b together, so all supported switches operate with the same version

code.

Firmware Version 4.0.2b contains the fully supported Web Tools Graphical User

Interface (GUI). Instructions for downloading the firmware are contained on the

Software CD.
