**WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:**
 
1. Do not upgrade Firmware using Internet Explorer 5.00.3315.1000x. 
   There is a problem with Internet Explorer and not the E/OS.
   If Internet Explorer 5.00.3315.1000x is used, the download operation may not
   complete and may eventually time-out leaving the switch with the previous
   version of E/OS. Please refer to the "McDATA Enterprise Operating System 
   version 08.02.00 Release Notes" for more detail regarding other firmware 
   downgrade considerations and limitations.
 
   The "McDATA E/OS v08.02.00 Release Notes" is included with this patch and is
   available from McDATA File Center at the following URL:
   http://www.mcdata.com/filecenter/template?page=home.login
 
   NOTE: Sun is not responsible for the availability of third-party Web sites
         mentioned in this document. Sun does not endorse and is not responsible
         or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials
         that are available on or through such sites or resources. Sun will not

         caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such
         content, goods, or services that are available on or through such
         sites or resources.
 
2.  If a switch is operating with a firmware level below 07.01.00, you must
    upgrade to version 07.01.00 before installing version 08.02.00.
 
    Please refer to the "McDATA Enterprise Operating System version 08.02.00
    Release Notes" for more detail regarding other firmware upgrade and 
    downgrade considerations and limitations.
 
3.  Upgrades and downgrades are only supported within a functional release, 
    such as 8.xx to/from 8.xx, or from a maximum of one functional release to
    the next, such as 7.01 to/from 8.xx.
 
    The 4400 &amp; 4700 switches are not supported on any firmware version below
    8.xx.
 
4.  Do not rename the firmware file or change the file name extension.
    Switch management software expects the firmware filename in a specific format.
 
5. Additional Notes: 
 
   A. The switch or director is not required to be offline before performing the
      E/OS 08.02.00 upgrade.  An E/OS upgrade is non-disruptive to attached
      devices.
 
   B. Before upgrading or downgrading the E/OS, it is highly recommended to back
      up the switch/director configuration in the event that a failure should
      occur.  Refer to the first step under "Special Install Instructions" in
      this README file for details on using SANpilot for this procedure.
 
   C. It is recommended that other McDATA products in the same fabric, such as
      director/switch with E/OS version 08.02.00, have a minimum revision
      level of 8.02.00 for optimum fabric stability and robustness. 
 
   D. It may take 5 to 10 minutes for the E/OS upgrade process to complete on
      a 4500 or 4300, depending on the management s/w in use, management network
      traffic, load, etc.  
 
   E. One of the following application combinations can be used to download
      E/OS 08.02.00 to the McDATA 6140/6064/4500/4300/4400/4700
        * EFCM Basic (using Mozilla 1.4 or higher) See Note # 1 below.
        * EFCM Basic (using MS Explorer 4.x or higher, except ver 5.00.3315.1000x).
        * EFCM or EFCM Lite 8.07.01 or later.  See Note # 2 below.
          - EFCM 8.07.01 can be found at the address below. It will require a
            quick registration process if you're not a registered user.
 
            http://www.mcdata.com/filecenter/template?page=index
 
      Note # 1: The web server interface requires an industry standard browser
                of release level 4.0 or higher supporting HTML version 4.0 and
                JavaScript version 1.0. For optimum results, Microsoft's
                Internet Explorer 4.x or Mozilla 1.4 or higher is
                recommended. The browser software should be compliant with
                HTML 4.0 and Javascript 1.0 for full functionality, optimum
                performance and best aesthetics.
 
      Note # 2: EFCM or EFCM Lite does not support the 4300V1/4300V2 switches.

Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------
 
This is not an OS patch and is not installed with the standard patchadd(1M)
command.  After unpacking the patch, follow the "Special Install Instructions"
below to upgrade the McDATA 6140/6064/4500V1/4500V2/4300V1/4300V2 FC
director/switch firmware.
 
This patch is not OS-dependent.
 
This patch contains McDATA E/OS 08.02.00 (firmware), which is saved on a
Solaris host then downloaded to the McDATA 6140/6064/4300/4500/4400/4700
director/switch via management software.  Please refer to the "Special Install
Instructions" for detail.
 
Download/unpack the patch into any convenient directory such as /var/tmp, and
refer to the "Special Install Instructions" below to download E/OS 08.02.00 to
the director/switch.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------
 
1. In the event of a failure backup the Director/switch configuration
   information with SANPilot using a browser:
 
   - Login the switch as user Administrator with SANPilot using Mozilla
   - Click Operations menu.
   - Click on the Maintenance tab.
   - Click on Product Info tab.
   - Select the Product Information link provided to display product
     information.
   - Save the information using the browser's File &gt;&gt; Save pull down menu.
 
 
2. Download firmware to the 6140/6064/4500/4300 with SANPilot using a browser:
 
   - Bring up Mozilla web browser and input the Director/switch IP as the
     location.
   - Enter the User Name and Password (defaults are: Administrator and password)
   - Click the Maintenance tab on the Operations menu.
   - Select the Firmware Upgrade option under the tabs.
   - Type the path and name of the new firmware or click browse to choose the
     firmware from the File Upload pop-up box. The path would be the directory
     where you unpacked the patch (such as /var/tmp). The firmware file should
     have a file extension of ".bin".
   - Once the path and name are displayed in the field, click the Send &amp; Load
     Firmware button. A dialog box displays stating that the operation will
     take several minutes to complete and not to perform any browser
     applications until it is complete.
   - Click OK to continue with the firmware upload, or click Cancel to
     cancel the operation.
   - When the firmware upgrade is completed, Mozilla/EFCM Basic will refresh
     the screen and display a "Firmware Upgrade Complete!" message.
 
Note: For procedures of downloading firmware to the switch or director using EFCM
      refer to Chapter 4 under "Managing Firmware Versions" section in the
      Installation and Service Manual.
