  • 1.  How to obtain old HBA firmware ?

    Hi Forum,
    After recent HBA firmware update, I would like to down-grade the firmware back to original, but cannot find the old version available for download.

    Can anyone provide a pointer or advice for obtaining old HBA firmware?

    Specifics:
    HBA 280B
    Driver df1000fa
    FW 1.91a5 (new)
    FW 1.90a4 (old) <<<< looking for this version

    Reason for downgrade:
    This is the passive node in a 2-node VCS HA cluster.
    After upgrade, the passive node view of SAN shared storage became unstable, as displayed with EMC utilities (powermt, inq).

    Thank You,
    KenW

    what are the symptoms of the instability?
    did EMC or/and IBM confirm new firmware must be downgraded to get the stability back?
