Hello,
Can I upgrade the XCS on an EVA8000 from 6.000 to 6.220 without using Command View...??
Thanks.

No.

And how is it that you have an EVA8000 and not Command View? It should be installed on a Windows server with access to the EVA.

Re: XCS upgrade on EVA8000

Hello Victor,
I do have Command View EVA 6.02 installed on a server and the EVA8000 has XCS 6.000.
I have to upgrade XCS to 6.220 and CV to 8.01 or 9.01.
I just wondered if I can upgrade CV to 8.01 or 9.01 and after that upgrade XCS to 6.220 using the new Command View version.
That├В┬┤s why I asked about the possibility of upgrading XCS without using Command View.
If you want you can reach me on antonio.dematos@hp.com.
Regards.

XCS 6.220 needs CV 8.0.2 minimum.

"... just wondered if I can upgrade CV to 8.01 or 9.01 and after that upgrade XCS to 6.220 using the new Command View version."

Yes (see above)

"That├В┬┤s why I asked about the possibility of upgrading XCS without using Command View."

Thats why ... ?
I don't understand!

You need CV for any management operation like this.

Hope this helps!

First upgrade firmware to 6.220 and then the command view.Otherwise it will throw unrecognized firmware error.

Re: XCS upgrade on EVA8000

Hi,
If you are going from CV6.xx to CV7.xx or later then you will also need to sort out your licences!
You WILL be required to have a licence for CV from V7.0 onwards for the total capacity of your array. If you do not use BC or CA then that will not be a problem but if you do you will need to migrate your licences for that as well.
Check out this HP website for further info:

Re: XCS upgrade on EVA8000

So,as I understand,the only way to upgrade the XCS on an EVA8000 is using Command View EVA and in my particular case,I must upgrade XCS 6.000 to XCS 6.220 first and after that I would be able to upgrade the CV from the actual version (6.02) to 8.01
Is that correct...??
