  • 1.  10508V JC611A Upgrade Path and Effect on SF Switches

    Posted May 21, 2020 08:34 AM

    Hi dears,

    I have the  switch 10508V has software version 5.20.105R1201 and we want to upgrade to the latest software version 7.10.R7585P07.

    Please advice if there is any effect on the server farm switches connected to it, and if there is an upgrade path we should pass through.

    Regards,

    Hello!

    Please, run 'display device manuinfo' on the switch and paste the output here. Don't forget to obfuscate serial numbers!

    Thanks!

    For the 105xx platform there is no software-only upgrade to Comware 7. It always requires to change at least MPU, sometimes LPUs as well. In your case it is just MPU, because both LPU types and Fabric module are compatible with CW7:

    HP A10500 Main Processing Unit JC614A - not supported by CW7
    HP A10500 48-port Gig-T SE Module JC618A - supported by CW7
    HP 10500 4p 40GbE CFP SF Module JG396A - supported by CW7
    HP 10508 1.92Tbps Type D Fabric Module JC754A - supported by CW7

    You need to replace currently installed JC614A MPU with one of these:

    JG496A: HP 10500 Type A Main Processing Unit with Comware v7 Operating System
    JH198A: HP 10500 Type D with Comware v7 Operating System Main Processing Unit

    I suggest you to contact our Sales for and discuss with them your requirements, because since it will be an upgrade with downtime, it might be a good opportunity to revise your current configuration and check what else can be improved and/or adjusted according your specific needs.

    Hope it helps!
