Hi

I am looking for some feedback on Command View upgrade from 7 to 8.

Has anyone done it yet? Any comments?

Thanks

CV-EVA now comes with a new installer. You can't do an upgrade - you have to uninstall any old version manually and do a new V8 installation.

I know I need to read to full doc but have you experienced any problem with doing the upgrade?

IMHO it is the same as any previous "upgrade": uninstall the old and install the new version. No problems so far.

Hi,

As above, you MUST deinstall any previous version of CV and then install V8. No need to worry about your hp admins xx accounts as they will remain.

No problems so far apart from sometimes it draws an EVA4400 shelf for an EVA3/4/5/6/8k shelf !! when looking at the shelf properties page but I am currently using a beta version of code.

Hi,

a question about licenses.

Are the same as with CV 7.0 ?

or we have to do a new HP request to obtain them fot CV V8 ?

Jean-Pierre, afaik you don't need to buy a new license if you have already bought in for previous version.

OK,

this means CV V7 licenses apply to CV V8.

Thank you

Just did this last week. You've probably already upgraded, but in case other customers are searching the forum's for information I thought I'd add some comments.

After CV 7 uninstall reboot and check the following before CV 8 installation:

\\Common Files\\InstallShield\\Universal.
1. Delete the VPD (Vital Product Data) if present:
a)HP_MasterInstaller70
b)HP_MasterInstaller701
c)HP_MasterInstaller6XX

2. Have a look at the content of the file
".....\Program Files\Zero G Registry\.com.zerog.registry.xml". The "Zero G Registry" directory is likely hidden.

If it contains the product tree named "HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Software Suite" you need to remove it.
It starts with "and then ends for this product at the nearest "" string.
