Before downgrading below 07.01.02-4, there can only be one user assigned access
rights as Administrator and one user assigned as Operator for Embedded Web Server
and CLI. If additional users were created, you have to delete them before downgrading.
Firmware 07.01.02-4 does not allow the last user with Administrator rights in Embedde d
Web Server o r CLI to be deleted. If no Operator user exists, fi rmware 07.01.02-4
automatically creates one for each interface during the downgrade. If more than one
Administrator and/or one Operator exists for Embedded Web Server and/or CLI, when
attempting to downgrade you are prompted to delete one of them first.
When downgrading to a release prior to 07.01.02-4, any modifications to the por t
RX BB_Credit settings using the new enhanced port configuration capability must be
changed back to a con figuration supported by older firmware.Thisisnecessarytoallow
the con figuration to comply with previous releases’ configuration database. Firmware
07.01.02-4 services verify compatibilit y and prevent d ownloads until the configuration
conflict is resolved.
For procedures to download firmware to the switch or director using the HAFM Element
Manager interface or EWS interface, refer to the following:

Downgrading directly to a release before 06.00.00 from 07.01.02-4 is not allowed. To
downgradetoareleasebefore06.00.00,youmustfirst downgrade to 06.YY.ZZ.
Upgrades and downgrades are supported only from one major release to the next, such
as from 06.xx.xx to 07.01.02-4. If EWS is used for upgrades and downgrades, and this
rule is not followed, errors occur and there may be a disruption to attached devices.
Downgrading to release 6.0 with the Preferred Path feature configured could cause loss
of this function. HP recommends that Preferred Path be disabled before downgrading.
To do this, deselect the check box for Enable Preferred Path in the Configure Preferred
Paths dialog box.

The Director 2/140 and the Edge Switch 2/24 cannot b e downgraded ea rlier than
