Re: Query: Upgrading SP, and 3PAR 7400 OS from 3,1,2 (MU3) to the latest
Hello @Mawuena,
The latest recommended version for 3PAR 7400 is v3.2.2MU6.
Upgrading to 3.3.1.x is also possible. But all the features available in 3.3.1 may not be supported in optimally on 7400.
Upgrading from 3.2.1 MU3 to 3.2.2 MU6 is a multi-hop process. First you upgrade to 3.2.1MU5 then upgrade to 3.2.2MU6. This is a complicated process. Those versions (3.2.1.x) were not customer self upgradable. So there are no step by step procedure documents available. I recommend you to contact HPE support schedule a deployment technician for the upgrade.
Nowadays 3PAR OS (3.3.1.x or later) is customer self upgradable. Here is the document, but it doesn't help you to upgrade from 3.1.2.x - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/api/document/a00101407en_us?docLocale=en_US

Re: Query: Upgrading SP, and 3PAR 7400 OS from 3,1,2 (MU3) to the latest
I am sorry for asking too much. Thanks so much for your help.
1
(Please note: HPE recommends 3.2.2MU6 as best supported version for 3PAR 7400): Please, kindly guide me to a white paper or a link to a supported document that I can use as an additional evidence for the client.
2
Please, confirm the upgrade path:
The upgrade path of HPE 3PAR 7400 OS from 3. 1. 2 MU3 to the best HPE recommended and supported version ( 3. 2. 2 MU6 ) is :
3. 1. 2 MU3 -> ??? -> 3. 2. 2 MU6
3 or last point
Would the Service Processor upgrade be taken care of automatically as part of the OS upgrade?
Regards ,
Mawuena

Re: Query: Upgrading SP, and 3PAR 7400 OS from 3,1,2 (MU3) to the latest
Hello @Mawuena,
1
The statement was available in the original EoSL statement of 3PAR 7000 series. Now the document is updated telling that 3.3.1 is the latest recommended version. So, you can stick to 3.3.1 - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00008513en_us&docLocale=en_US
2
Please, confirm the upgrade path:
3.1.2 MU3 -> 3.2.1 MU5 -> 3.2.2 MU6
or
3.2.1 MU3 -> 3.2.1 MU5 -> 3.3.1
3 or last point
No. You must upgrade the Service processor separately. First update the service processor, then update the 3PAR system.

Srinivas Bhat

Re: Query: Upgrading SP, and 3PAR 7400 OS from 3,1,2 (MU3) to the latest
Hello Srinivas,
I'm glad that you posted that answer because I'm looking at updating my 7200c to the latest and greatest before its EOSL. Would it be able to handle 3.3.1? If so, how far to update it to? (MU2, MU5?) I know all of the features may not work since it's a 4th Gen ASIC. It won't be able to do compression. I'm just concerned with making sure it has the latest and greatest before it goes EOSL.
Thanks.

P.S. I figured it would be better to not start a new thread since this is pretty much the same topic.
