evaperf for EVA3000

i am planning to upgrade the firmware. anyone can tell me if i can directly upgrade to the latest or need to move to revision 3.028 first?

Hi,

You need to be at 3.028 before going to 3.110.

My old thread here:

will probably help...

Cheers,

When upgrading from 3.010 to 3.028 it might be necessary to call a HP technican to do a meta-data scan. When I was organizing similar upgrades, this required loading a special firmware image. Also, the disk drive firmware need to be upgraded as well.

Before that is done, the whole SAN environment need to be analyzed and a plan created. If the system is that old, you most likely will have to upgrade the switches and servers as well.

I was just going to say the same thing !

Here's the advisory:
