Hi

I am not shure witch Firmware Upgrade I should choose for this FC Switch. Now the version is v6.3.0a.

I found this: (on Brocade FOS Target Path V3.0

Upgrade path to Brocade FOS v6.4.3da or FOS v7.0.2c for Open Systems environments:

FOS v6.0.0c

 FOS v6.1.2c  FOS v6.2.2f  FOS v6.3.2d  FOS v6.4.3d  FOS v7.0.2c

and this

Upgrade path to Brocade FOS v6.4.2a or FOS v7.0.0d for FICON environments:

FOS v6.1.2

 FOS v6.2.0e_upgrade  FOS v6.3.0d  FOS v6.4.2a  FOS v7.0.0d

Thanks for your help!

According to SPOCK latest version is 7.2.0a .

So consider to upgrade to 6.4.x->7.0.x->7.1.x->7.2.0a

And the path that had 6.4.2a is only if you have a FICON environment. The latest Brocade Firmware isn't always FICON certified. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FICON
