Updating an old version of a B-series switch

Brian Kegel — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:04:39 GMT

I have an older B-series switch running V5.3.1. Where can I find the older firmware so I can get this up to date?

Thanks.

Hey, which model do you have?

It is likely that your switch cannot go to 6.x, you can find out if it's supported by looking in the release notes of the firmware.

5.3.2c and 6.0.1a and 6.1.2b can be found here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=3414314&prodNameId=3414317&swEnvOID=54&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=co-86625-1

Or go to SPOCK (http://www.hp.com/storage/spock) and check the B-Series FC Switch Connectivity stream document.

If your switch can go to 6.x, you can go to 6.0.x directly from 5.3.1.

If you have a standalone 2G switch you'll have to look in an older version of a B-Series FC Switch Connectivity stream.
