EVA 4400 upgrade help

[unda]

Hi,

I have a HP EVA 4400

Controller model: HSV300 

XCS version: 09522000 

XCS build: CR153Flep 

Management firmware: mmp-0001.4000-CR05B2 

Soon, I will be moving our data to a different SAN and re-configuring this SAN, basically starting from scratch.

I would like to get the managment module, XCS, drive firmwares and  EVA software up to date.

I have access to software downloads for a short time, but our maintenance agreement will end very soon. Could someone please help me lay out a plan of what to do, and in what order?

Get Command View 10.3 and XCS version 11200000 from http://software.hp.com , disk firmware from here

Don't forget to update the management module!

Wow, thanks man. Am I able to go straight to 10.3/11200000 from what I have now?

My understanding was I would have to go to CV 9.4 or something, then 10, then 10.2 (I havent seen 10.3 mentioned before)

[Torsten.]

Uninstall the old CV version, reboot and install 10.3.

For XCS first go to 10001000, then to 11200000.

Read the product upgrade guide and release notes first, please.
Finally update disks and management module.

I believe the management module is an embedded linux system, and I dont have any information in connecting to it directly, the only access I have is through the web interface CommandView.

You can connect directly to the Management Module using an Ethernet cable to your laptop and accesing using this IP.

Open a browser on the computer that is connected through
Ethernet to the management module. Enter the following URL to
access HP Command View EVA on the management module:
https://192.168.0.1:2372 (this is the default IP address of
the management module after a reset).
Enter admin as the user name and no password (the password
field is empty).
