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.
