Upgrade HP 3PAR OS 3.3.2. EM1

[ahotm]

hi team

I am experiencing a problem when upgrading to HP 3PAR OS 3.3.2. EMU1 from 3PAR OS 3.3.2 MU1.
I get the following message:

check_features_list: The combination of features running on this array may exceed the memory resources of this array. Upgrading is not recommended at this time.

I've stopped Rcopy and scheduled Tasks but I get the same message.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ahotm,

The warning indicates, the array has more features than the supported combinations allowed. I assume the array you have is either 8200 or 8400. 
(For example, if RC is using, the only other feature can be used is AFC). This is enforced in low memory arrays to avoid out of memory situations.

Being that said, if you are already running on 3.3.1 MU5, you may ignore the warning and go ahead installing 3.3.2 since there is not much change in memory consumption between these versions. If you need to check the historical memory consumption of the nodes, please reach to HPE support and if the system connected to HPE backend, they will be able to check historical data and confirm any memory pressure on the nodes now.

@veeyarvi hi Veeyaarvi,

thank for your answer.
yes indeed I use RC with compression and dedupe. I saw in the matrix that this was no longer possible for array 8200 or 8400.

I'm currently on version 3.3.2 MU1 patch P08 and I'd like to install version 3.3.1 EMU1.

Is it possible to ignore this warning?
 I could stop replication of my Volumes to reliev memory

thank you for your help

Hi Ahotm,

Yes, no issues expected in the EMU1 (P10) installation related to this. You can ignore the warning.
