HPE B-Series Fibre Channel Switches
Hello Team,
I'm looking for the FOS 8.2.3d firmware. I found it on the HPE support website, but it's unavailable for download as it requires a contract warranty, which I don't have. i searched also on brocade website it's unavailable there.
Is there any solution ?
Additionally, my switch is currently running version 8.2.3c. Is it mandatory to upgrade to 8.2.3d before moving to 8.2.3e, or can I upgrade directly from 8.2.3c to 8.2.3e?
thanks in advance !!

Hello @Imad007 ,
The FOS 8.2.3d is available in HPE Support Center.
Also, Upgrading to FOS 8.2.3e1 can only be performed from FOS 8.2.3d, the upgrade is nondisruptive.
FOS 8.2.3e1 is available here.
I work at HPE

Re: HPE B-Series Fibre Channel Switches
Connect it to another Brocade FC switch of which you know the password. If they successfully form a fabric, you can distribute the password database from the 2nd switch.
