HPE SN3600B 32Gb FC San Switch - FOS download

[Werner_Leduc]

I'm looking to downgrade my SN3600B FOS from 9.0 to 8.2.X
But I'm totally unable to find the download.
HPE redirects me to brocade website, but they won't let me login.

Anyone who has the firmware image and is able to send it to me ?

Thank you

Hello @Werner_Leduc,

FOS 8.2.x is not too old to be withdrawn. But I don't have a brocade/broadcom account to explore more about it. Please check if the below link is helpful.

You can also open a support case with HPE or ask in brocade community forum.

Hi,

it is a bit Tricky today to get the Firmware, but it works.

Login to HPE Support and follow the Link from HPE to the Brocade Website for Download.
With your HPE Switch Serial, Brocade Support will give you access to Download, maybe it needs 24h.

Be aware, that only Switch Type 170.0 to 170.2 is allowed for 8.x, not 170.4 or higher.
So, check your Switch Type first (switchshow).

Sorry for reviving an old thread.

Is there any official source available where I can find this info?

Thanks a lot!

[Cali]

Yes, of course:

Thanks for your swift reply!

I'm looking around but I'm unable to find anything that states anything about statement below:

Be aware, that only Switch Type 170.0 to 170.2 is allowed for 8.x, not 170.4 or higher.
So, check your Switch Type first (switchshow).

We have a client with 4x SN3600B switchtype 170.5 and is also looking to downgrade them. If we could provide some concrete info which states that these models should not be downgraded to 8.2.x we can all move on

Best regards
