SAN switch 8/24 firmware upgrade

[Ruben-Garcia]

Hello

Hi, I have to update two fiber switches(HPE 8/24 SAN Switch) with 7.0.0.c firmware, and I would like to know where  can I download the most current firmwares, since from the HPE website, I can only download the versions 7.0.2e (17 Dec 2015) and 7.2.1 (4 Mar 2014) ). To download the rest of the versions, it asks me to have an active warranty or support agreement covering StoreFabric. Is there a possibility of getting all the firmware versions by some other way?

Does exist any guide for upgrading the firmware non-disruptively in this switches(HPE 8/24 SAN Switch) ?

Thank you in advance

Hi

you need a valid contract or warrenty for your device to be able to download firmeware 

versions https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/home/driverHome?sp4ts.oid=1010828129&pmrsr=0

when you login with your HPE passport to the support site you can add devices to your

profile. you must do this in order to download firmeware.

Regards

Give a KUDO if this helps

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I do not have any support contract nor warranty for this devices. Does it means , that I do not have chance to download all existing firmwares and apply them to my switches?

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Hi Ruben,

unfortunately, that is true ... you need to have a valid warranty period running for the product or a service contract to get the firmware downloaded from the HPE external web pages ... but if you have the chance to find "somewhere" the Brocade (Broadcom) firmware you are interested in, it is the same for all resellers - therefore you can use it also on your machines.
