HAFM software version 08.06.00
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 516-000008-000, Rev A). HAFM 08.06.00 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 reinstall 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.
Upgrading to HAFM 08.06.00 issues
The password for the Administrator must be reset to “password” before upgrading. If
this is not performed before upgrading, the HAFM appliance may stop immediately
after starting it.
Upgrading to HAFM 08.06.00 from 08.02.00 requires HAFM Services to be stopped
manually.
The password for HAFM Administrator does not migrate from HAFM 07.xx.xx to HAFM
08.06.00. The password is reset to the default value, “password” in HAFM 08.06.00.
Call Home configuration is not migrated from HAFM 08.02.00 to HAFM 08.06.00
during upgrade. The Call Home information must be configured again after the upgrade.
Configuration information for switches that are not being managed locally are not
included in the upgrade.
4

Firmware files are included in the upgrade process, but release rules are not. Since
release rules are required when sending another firmware version to a switch, an error
results. To avoid this problem, add the latest firmware file to the firmware library. This
also adds the new release rules and resolves the problem.
HAFM 07.02.00 is not removed after upgrading to HAFM 08.xx.xx, and if the server is
rebooted, both 07.xx.xx and 08.xx.xx services are started. Be sure to remove 07.02.00
after upgrading to 08.xx.xx.

Formatting is required for new backup CD-RW disks
If you use a different CD-RW disk to backup other than the one provided with the HAFM
appliance, you must access the desktop of the HAFM appliance in order to enable the
formatting of the new disk. Backups cannot be performed until the new disk is formatted.
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 08.06.00, 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 08.06.00.

HA-Fabric Manager release notes 7

Prerequisites for installing and using firmware 07.01.02
If you are using HAFM, firmware 07.01.02 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 coexist in a fabric running different levels of firmware,
all products must be at the same major functional release level.
HAFM upgrade required for firmware version 07.xx.xx
To upgrade to firmware 07.01.02-4, you must first upgrade the HAFM software to
07.01.00-9 minimum, if you are using the notebook HAFM server to manage the
director or edge switch. The HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks
ha-fabric manager documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-820).
An upgrade kit to HAFM 07.01.00-9 is also available, Part Number 320908-B22, for
owners of license for previous versions. This HAFM upgrade is also available on the
following HP web site: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html
If you are using the 1U rack-mount HAFM appliance to manage the director or edge
switch, the minimum HAFM version required is 07.02.00-9, which is the minimum version
installed. This HAFM software is contained on the HP StorageWorks ha-fabric manager
documentation and software CD (Part Number 516-000024-720).
The previous minimum versions of HAFM allow you to manage directors or edge
switches running 07.01.02-4 firmware, but to be able to use all the new features and
enhancements, you need to upgrade HAFM to 08.06.00, which runs only on the 1U
rack-mount HAFM appliance.
As an alternative, you can perform the firmware upgrade directly to the director or edge
switch using their EWS.
Please contact your local HP technical resource if you need to obtain a new HAFM
version.
Please contact your local HP technical resource to confirm compatibility with devices
in your SAN before upgrading to this firmware version.
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.
