EVA 3000 UPGRADE PROBLEM

There is big problem in our site.please help me as soon as possible.

we have a HP EVA3000 STORAGE with 2 controllers and 4 enclusure. The version of Command View is 3.1 bulid 21.

There is a projext in our site to reconfigure EVA after 7 years use.

We have upgrade HSV100 firmware controller from VCS 3 to VCS 4 (active -active) version. after upgrade controllers show " no storage" on screen , and in coomand view no storage is detected.

Is there anyway to downgrade controller firmware to old version without command view interface?
Thanks for your kind and quick response.
Regards
ASHKAN

After upgrade you need to restart the Command View service.

 

If that doesn't help:

 

"Downgrading while retaining existing data is supported from VCS 4.100 to any earlier version of

VCS 4.00x ямБrmware.
Downgrading while retaining existing data from VCS 4.100 to any earlier version of VCS 3.xxx ямБrmware
is not supported. Downgrade is only possible on an uninitialized storage system."

 

Did you upgrade CV too?

 

Latest CV (10.2) supports VCS 4.100 - check out the compatibility reference: http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02523047/c02523047.pdf

See this topic: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Disk-Array/EVA5000-VCS-4-x-3-x-Downgrade/td-p/4436033

 

EVA3000 and 5000 are very similar.

After Upgrade in CV no storage is detected.

SSSU is part of CV.

If that doesn't work either:

You could install a newer CV on another server - it comes with a free temporary licenses - and try to downgrade with that.
