Updating the Fabric Switch MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility
The download file name must be changed to match the name of the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility update. The boot file is automatically extracted from the download file by the StorageWorks MSA Fabric Switch 6 once the transfer is complete. The boot file name needs to be set for a successful update. This will be provided along with the download file at the Compaq website: www.compaq.com/storageworks.
Typically, both the timeout and retry parameters do not require resetting unless the network used is overloaded with other traffic.
Once the transfer is initiated, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility package number is compared with the package already resident in the MSA Fabric Switch 6. If the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility being downloaded is newer and appears compatible, the download status will be set to “in progress” and remains so until the transfer is complete. Once the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility is updated, the system reboots itself to initialize the new MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility and changes the status to “complete.”
If the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility being downloaded is older than the present or incompatible with the system, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 stops the transfer and sets the download status to “rejected due to incompatible package versions.” With all parameters completed correctly and the download completed, reset the switch. The update will occur automatically following the reset.
