Hi

The following gives you Brocade Target Path info.  You would need to complete the following jumps FOS 8.0.2f → FOS 8.1.2d

There are issues with 8.2.1d (mentioned in the above) so it might be better to stop at 8.2.1c

The following upgrade paths are recommended for customers who are running older versions of Brocade FOS and want to upgrade to a Target Path release to avoid the known issues or pitfalls that might exist in some older versions of firmware. 

1. Upgrade Path to Brocade for Open Systems Environments
FOS 7.4.2d/e/f → FOS 8.0.2f → FOS 8.1.2h → FOS 8.2.1c

2. Upgrade Path to Brocade for FICON Environments
FOS 7.4.2a7 → FOS 8.0.2b2 → FOS 8.1.2a7
FOS 7.4.2a7 → FOS 8.0.2b2 → FOS 8.1.2a7 → FOS 8.2.2a
