HP L10, Intrusion Prevention System S10 manual Updating the Hub Firmware

Updating the Hub Firmware

The hub’s management tool, Fibre Channel Manager, requires the following versions of hub firmware: .

Device Agent	02.14 (or higher)
Hub Controller	03.06 (or higher)

Before you begin this procedure, determine whether the hub requires a firmware update to communicate with Fibre Channel Manager. A label on the bottom of the hub chassis lists the EDC datecode. If the EDC datecode is C-38XX or higher, the hub has the required firmware.If you are not able to access the label, determine the firmware versions by connecting to the hub’s RS-232 interface (see Setting Up an RS-232 Connection on page 45).

To update the hub firmware, use a PC connected to the hub. First copy the firmware files to the PC and then transfer the firmware from the PC to the hub.

The general process for updating the hub firmware is the following:

1.Obtain the current firmware.

2.Reboot the hub.

3.Update the hub controller firmware.

4.Update the hub device agent code.

5.Reset the hub.

6.Set manufacturing values.

If any hubs are cascaded, repeat the procedures for each child hub. Parent and child hubs must have identical versions of the firmware.

The procedures in this section require a total of 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
