Firmware Compatibility in SAN Environment
We have a SAN environment with following components:
EVA4000

3 Rx7620 servers
2 SAN switches
The current firmware version of the EVA controllers is 6.0.0.193
I want to upgrade it to 6.220
I want to find out weather the other components in the SAN will be compatible after the upgrade.
The current firmware versions of the other components are as below:
wbscsp01
Firmware info:
Firmware revision = 003.088
FP SWA driver revision: 1.18
IPMI is supported on this system.
BMC version: 7.8
wbscsp02
Firmware info:
Firmware revision = 003.088

IPMI is supported on this system.
BMC version: 7.8
wbscsp03
Firmware info:
Firmware revision = 001.025
FP SWA driver revision: 1.18
IPMI is supported on this system.

FOS Secondary PArtition 5.3.0c

Re: Firmware Compatibility in SAN Environment
I don't know about the xp or the rp-servers so can't say what version they should be at and if it's cmopatible.
But for the EVA and the SAN switches generally the latest one is the one that is supported.
6.0.0.193 - that is probably command view version and not EVA XCS Software Version.
Latest one for that is 9.2.1, see links below.
Please note that when upgrading from 6.x to 7.x+ you need to get a license.
For the SAN-switches what kind of switch is it?
Is this a 2gb switch? Generally for these the latest is 5.3.2c.
4gb generally go up to 6.2.x
http://h20272.www2.hp.com is a link to SPOCK that might be able to tell you more.
Command View EVA 9.2:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=CommandViewEVA9.2
Command View EVA 9.2.1 Patch:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&swItem=co-84221-1
For the EVA4000 -

Re: Firmware Compatibility in SAN Environment
Firmware version of the controller is 6.000, not 6.0.0.193 as I mentioned.

Re: Firmware Compatibility in SAN Environment
For the rx servers please logon to MP and run
MP:CM> sysrev
for the XP please discuss this with HP, because you cannot get these firmware bits.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Firmware Compatibility in SAN Environment
Did you find out the answers you wanted? I'm in the same situation and have everything I need except for FOS compatibility.
I've got the HP StorageWorks EVA Compatibility Reference but it just says to use SPOCK for host connectivity information. I'm specifically trying to make sure the latest FOS is compatible with XCS 6.22, though (the customer is asking for proof from the vendor).
Any info appreciated.

Re: Firmware Compatibility in SAN Environment
I did not had to upgrade the firmware in the servers. Only the switch firmware had to be upgraded.
Hope this is helpful.
