HP StorageWorks 2/32 FW v4.4.0c

[CA1311632]

Hi,
I wondered if anyone can help me:
I am about to upgrade the firmware on my two san switches to 4.4.0c from 4.1.0. Before I go ahead i've been asked to find out the 'roadmap' for the firmware, e.g. how long until there's a new version? I appreciate this is likely to be unanswerable by anyone but the develeopers, but I have to ask :)
Thanks for any input.

It looks like 4.4.0c is old now. 4.4.0f is out as well as 5.0.1b.

Can't seem to find the 2/32 listed anymore and it's not in the "retired" list. the 4/32 should be the same thing, firmware wise. Most of the 2/xxx switches have the same firmware.

It is on the retired page, left column, third entry of 'SAN infrastructure':

Hi again,
Thanks for the information guys. Does anybody know why there are two versions of firmware which were released the same day for the same products? There doesnt appear to be any release notes!!
Thanks,
Leon

It's not that unusual in the software world that multiple code streams are maintained in parallel. If I recall correctly, at least the version 5 file should include the release notes.
