The firmware listed at those sites is for the HPE HPC Storage Switching.
"WC" is still the prefix for 2930F switches.

Subject: 2930F Switch Firmware Strcture Changed? "WC" no longer? "HFP" instead?
I am behind my firmware updating, and when exploring for the newest firmware I am finding that it is different from what I recall it being.
The switches I am using are Aruba-2930F-48G-PoEP-4SFP-JL262A, and current firmware installed is WC.16.10.0019 back from June of 2022, whoops.
I see no mention of a 17, 18, etc, but instead I am finding something about a "HFP" firmware and something about "Cray" this and that at https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/search#q=JL262A&t=DriversandSoftware (currently 23.12 https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?collectionId=MTX-575acc2c0e334c3a).
In the 5gb file I don't see any specific mention of 2930F or the JL series. I know the JL product line is old, but should be part of the "supported forever" lines, is this not the case anymore and WC16 is the last firmware for it?
Or is this HFP firmware pack the new standard? If so.. is there any guidance on an upgrade path to get to the newest, and what file in that structure I should be using?
