After you've downloaded the softwares you should read the HP P6000 EVA Updating Product Software Guide,

you can find it here

I am surprised that you are running with CV EVA 9.01 along with XCS09534000 which is not supported. XCS0953x000 supports from CV EVA 9.1. Attached is the old Compatibility guide for your reference.

The upgrade path for CV EVA in your case,

9.0.1 -> 9.1

9.1 -> 9.2

9.2-> 10.0

In order to avoid all the above you need to uninstall CV EVA 9.0.1, reboot the server and go for the fresh installation of CV EVA 10 from the below link,

Does anyone know where to find the 9.1 -> 9.2 upgrade package?

[Johan Guldmyr]

I believe you need to call hp to get it.

[SUBHAJIT KHANBARMAN_1]

I am not sure why you are looking for CV EVA 9.2.........I would suggest to go for the complete uninstallation of old CV EVA and go for the latest CV EVA10........because it is always good to run your EVA with latest XCS and to run with latest management software as well.

CV EVA 9.2 not available in public sites. You need to contact hp.

The latest firmware XCS 10100000 works only with command view 10 or later, cv version 9.2 supports xcs up to version XCS 0953x000.

So you need

XCS 10100000

and

command view 10.

Uninstall the old CV version and install the new version.

I want to upgrade from 09534000 to 10100000 with array-based management.  I can't find any information about which management controller firmware I need, or where to find it.

Management module firmware is currently mmp-0001.4000-CR05B2.  Do I need to update this?  If so, where do I get the latest version?

Thanks,

Domenic

[Johan Guldmyr]

Hi, 

management module firmware is included in the CV .iso. 

When you upgrade CV on the management module it should upgrade the mm firmware as well.

[Domenic_Alvaro]

Wow! Thanks for the super-quick reply.

Uninstall commandview, reboot, install the new version.

Current firmware XCS 11001100 needs command view 10.2.

[Sapic]

Hye..

i successfully upgrade cv to 10.2

prob now is when i want to upgrade controller firmware to xcs11001100 it show base port changed..

why it happen???

[doOdzZZ]

Hello,

I upgraded the ABM module on my EVA4400 to CV10.3 and now when I am trying to upgrade the firmware to 11001100, when I reach the point where I click next after I browse for the SSS file, I get redirected to the page where it says that the base port has changed.

Thank you in advance.
