Command View EVA 8 upgrade from Version 7
I have customers who are being told to upgrade their Command View 7 (with Patch 701) to CV 8 but finding the information on how to as well as licencing implications confusing.
Therefore are you able to confirm:
1) Do the CV 7 licences work with CV 8 without any problems or do you have to apply for them/are they on entitlement if on contract)
and
2) Does CV 8 require CV7(01) to be removed prior to CV 8 installation or does CV 8 take care of this during its installation?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards
RIchard

Yes, any previous CV-EVA version must be removed before installing CV8 - see the release notes for details.

Re: Command View EVA 8 upgrade from Version 7
"
i know upgrading from 6.x to 7.. the installer takes care of removing CV6, reboots and then finished the install.
I would expect CV8 to do the same, but I do not know for sure. I am still trying to get a hold of a copy to play in my lab.

Re: Command View EVA 8 upgrade from Version 7
Hi Steven - be careful with expectations ;-)
Quoted from the Release Notes:
""The HP Command View EVA Software Suite 8.0 does not support upgrades from earlier software versions. If you are running a version earlier than 8.0, you must first remove the earlier version, reboot the server, then install HP Command View EVA 8.0.""

Re: Command View EVA 8 upgrade from Version 7
Thanks for that. Everything is now clear. With the issues I had getting customers from CV V6 (not licence key tied) to V7 (licence key tied) after they had installed on an 'instant on' 180 day basis and weren't sent the licence entitlements, I just wanted to be sure.
As for the media installation - it seems a backward step to not have the installer do the previous version uninstall but as long as I know for the future, that is all that matters.
Best regards
