Equallogic PS4100 firmware downgrade 9.0.2 to 8.1.4 help!!!
Hi
I am trying to downgrade the firmware on a PS4100 from version 9.0.2 to 8.1.4 so that I can use MPIO drivers 1.2 with VMware vshere 5.1.
I have tried the override switch command via SSH and it fails with "-override-downgrade: not found"
Currently waiting for my techdirect account to be setup but this seems to take forever
Any help would be great.
No Events found!

Managed to sort it out myself.
I was just running the override command as the wrong user

Hi Don,
I'm not having problems yet, the reason for this is that according to documentation Support is dropped for ESXi 5.1 in the MPIO 1.3 drivers, we cannot install an unsupported configuration in a production environment. We don't have a plan for updating our host at the moment and as the Equallogic is not in place yet the sensible thing is to downgrade the Equallogic to a supported scenario. We have no data on it so there's no issue for doing this.
Cheers
Alex

What user did you use and what was the command to get there? I'm having the 'not found' error as well.
