SAN upgrade milestones / upgrade path?
We have a SAN containing: HP EVA 4000 with FC & FATA enclosures, Blade 20p-g3 servers, GbE2c switches, Brocade 4G for p-class switches (see attachment about FW & drivers versions).
The firmware and drivers used on this SAN are all of old versions and now we need to upgrade due to a new hardware SAN extension. My problem is with the upgrade order / path. I need some help in choosing the right order in this upgrade; for example, should i follow this path:
1- GbE2c, 2-Brocade 4GB,3-EVA Controller FW,4-FC-FATA disks, 5-HBAs FW, 6-HBAs drivers & MPIO ?
Some more questions:
1- GbE2c switch (current 2.2.0): can i upgrade in one shot to the latest one (3.2.12.0)?
2- Brocade 4GB san sw (current: 5.0.16): path to the latest one?
3- EVA & command View: we have the procedures.
4- HB FW (current: 1.43): is there a supportability matrix between the new revisions of HBA and Brocade SW FW?
Thanks for your support.

You need to upgrade in steps. To get the 6.0.0c you need to contact HP Tech Support.
