Hello,
hope anyone can help me. I will update our hp5406rzl with firmenware KB.15.17.0007, ROM KB.15.01.0001 to the newest version. This is KB.16.070002. I would like to do it over http. Can i directly update to this version, or must i do a intermediate step?
How long is the downtime by update, musst i shutdown all systems that work over ethernet, for example my esxfarm ?
Thanks for answers, regards
Stefan

SolutionUpgrading from KB.15.17 to KB.16.07 doesn't require any mandatory interim update steps BUT...since your KB.15.17.0007 is using the old BootROM KB.15.01.0001 version then almost any upgrade path to a newer Software version - such as KB.16.07 - will impose you an update of BootROM too.
KB.16.07.0002 uses BootROM KB.16.01.0006: it means that BootROM KB.15.01.0001 will be updated first to latest BootROM KB.16.01.0006 - and this will be the very first reboot - and only then - during a second Switch reboot - the software will be upgraded from KB.15.17.0007 to desired KB.16.07.0002.
So you need to plan a downtime of some minutes (probably less than 10 minutes from start to end).

Well...official guides about Configuration and Management of Aruba 5400R zl2 will explain how to manage software updates when NonStop switching is enabled.
Personally I did a copy&paste work from various sources and prepared a checklist to follow when such update is required with the minimum downtime possible (updating Secondary Flash on MM1 AMM, this will synch MM2 SMM Secondary, do a redundancy switchover from MM1 AMM to updated MM2 SMM that will become the new updated MM2 AMM).
