The download file name must be changed to match the name of the MSA Fabric
Switch 6 Management Utility update. The boot file is automatically extracted from
the download file by the StorageWorks MSA Fabric Switch 6 once the transfer is
complete. The boot file name needs to be set for a successful update. This will be
provided along with the download file at the Compaq website:
www.compaq.com/storageworks.
Typically, both the timeout and retry parameters do not require resetting unless the
network used is overloaded with other traffic.
Once the transfer is initiated, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility package
number is compared with the package already resident in the MSA Fabric Switch 6.
If the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility being downloaded is newer and
appears compatible, the download status will be set to “in progress” and remains so
until the transfer is complete. Once the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility is
updated, the system reboots itself to initialize the new MSA Fabric Switch 6
Management Utility and changes the status to “complete.”
If the MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility being downloaded is older than the
present or incompatible with the system, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 stops the transfer
and sets the download status to “rejected due to incompatible package versions.”
With all parameters completed correctly and the download completed, reset the
switch. The update will occur automatically following the reset.
