Hi All,
Back in 2016 my company bought what they thought was an HPE 5130 24G 2SFP+ 2XGT EI switch. However, it appears that this switch is running H3C-branded Comware firmware and there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to change this to the HPE flavor of Comware - there are no "oem" or "brand" commands available and simply upgrading to an HPE-released image doesn't work.
Is it at all possible to migrate to HPE's version of Comware? I asked H3C this question, but they didn't really seem to understand so I'm not sure if it is possible. They were helpful enough to provide the latest versions of H3C Comware for this switch though.
I would like to switch to HPE Comware for the sake of consistency. All our other FlexNetwork switches run HPE-branded Comware. We would also like to follow the HPE firmware recommendations that are documented here: Document - Recommended & Minimum Software Versions for HPE FlexFabric Switch Products | HPE Support
