Re: downgrade XCS firmware
You might have to do the following things to have a fully supported environment
1) Downgrade switch firmware
2) Download firmware HBA's
3) Download drivers for HBA
Verify the compatibility matrix before you do this.

Re: downgrade XCS firmware
You should really have a version newer than 6.0!
Hope this helps!

Re: downgrade XCS firmware
I'll probably leave it if it doesnt affect the array which it hasnt but ive seen some support matrices recommend firmware 6.00 or 6.10 and was wondering if its possible.
HP always say never to downgrade controller firmware but i was wondering if anyone had done it or was possible.
live and learn

Re: downgrade XCS firmware
See the release notes:
"To downgrade, it may be necessary to reinitialize the storage system and restore all data. Before proceeding with a downgrade, you must contact HP Services to determine if a downgrade is allowed in your configuration and, if so, to schedule the procedure."
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: downgrade XCS firmware
I agree that it is NOT NOT NOT a good idea to downgrade an EVA without consulting from HP, first. Almost every firmware upgrade seems to make little changes to the EVA's meta data. Therefore I would assume that any downgrade results in immediate data loss.
