It is important that you update to K.13.xx from a 

configuration that has not been previously converted from a pre-K.13.xx format (e.g. a K.11.xx or 
K.12.xx configuration). If you have previously updated to K.13.xx and rolled back to K.12.xx to 
workaround an issue, you should load a saved K.12.xx configuration to the switch and boot to it prior 
to updating to K.13 again.

: Before updating your software version from K.12.xx to 

K.13.xx, read the recommended best practices for performing major software updates (

).

The K.13.01 software introduced a new 

restriction to a single ACL mirror destination. For more information, see "Restriction in number of 
ACL mirror destinations (

) . 

 PIM-SM users should make sure ProCurve switches that run K software should all be on 

the either pre-K.13.21 or post-K.13.21 versions of software due to a bug fix in K.13.21 that changes 
the way a rendezvous point is chosen.
