Example
To upgrade a single Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Director 2/128 CP card:
Although it is possible to upgrade firmware on one CP card at a time, you should not do so under normal
circumstances because it disrupts a functioning fabric.
When the two CP cards are not running the same firmware versions, it may be necessary to disable one
or the other to maintain fabric stability. For information on the commands used to achieve this, refer to the
hadisable
and
hafailover
commands in the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x command reference
guide.
The following procedure allows you to upgrade a single CP card. This procedure can be used with Fabric
OS v4.0.0d and later.
To upgrade to a single CP card:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
hashow
command to determine which CP card is the active and which one is the standby. In
the following example, the active CP card is CP0, and the standby CP card is CP1:
3. Log in to the standby CP card as admin.
4. Issue the following command to upgrade a new version of the firmware to the standby CP card:
firmwaredownload -s
Make sure to type a space between the command and the
-s
option.
