• Offline—When the director is in the off line state, all the installed ports are off line. The ports
transmit an off line sequence, and they cannot accept a login for connection from an
attached device. All ports in the director, including E_Ports, are placed off line, regardless of
whether they were blocked or unblocked, and the director is removed from a multiswitch
fabric.
CAUTION: Before setting the director off line, warn administrators and users currently operating
devices that are attached to the director that it is going off line and that there will be a disruption of
communications. Make sure administrators of devices attached to ports quiesce Fibre Channel traffic
through the director.
Managing firmware versions
Firmware refers to the internal operating code for the director. You can maintain up to eight
firmware versions on the HAFM appliance for downloading to a director. To use the Firmware
Library option to manage firmware versions, follow the steps in the McDATA Intrepid Director 6064
Installation and Service Manual for the Director 2/64 and the McDATA Intrepid Director 6140
Installation and Service Manual for the Director 2/140.
