Update recommendation
NOTE: With the introduction of Fabric OS 6.1.1, certain features and functions were removed
from Web Tools (resident in the firmware) and migrated to the Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM)
management application. If DCFM is not running on your fabric, HP recommends that you review
(page 28) before you upgrade to Fabric OS 6.1.1x or later, and take note of what has changed
so you can assess the impact on your fabric.
All products supported by Fabric OS 6.0.x can be upgraded to Fabric OS 6.2.2e. If applicable,
HP recommends that you upgrade to Fabric OS 6.2.2e as soon as possible to take advantage of
the latest fixes and features.
