Re: update 8.1 to 8.5
1. Install Updated CMC.
2. If applicable, upgrade the DSM's for MPIO.
3. Upgrade all Remote Clusters (normal -> managers -> VIPs).
4. Then in your local Clusters upgrade normal nodes (non manager/non VIP).
5. Upgrade managers
6. Upgrade VIP.
Then sit back and enjoy your 8.5 installation!

Re: update 8.1 to 8.5
By non-manager/nonVIP I mean nodes that are just Storage Servers. You can tell if a node is a Manager by clicking on the node in the CMC and looking at the Status field. It will either say "Storage Server Normal" or "Storage Server Normal, Manager Normal".
You can find what node is your VIP by clicking on the cluster in the CMC and clicking the iSCSI tab. You will see the storage node that is currently running as VIP (Virtual IP). Make note of that node as it will be the last one you will upgrade.
So your sequence would be:
1. Upgrade CMC.
2. Upgrade standard nodes (those that are not the VIP and show "Storage Server Normal" in the status in the CMC).
3. Upgrade the manager nodes (those that are not the VIP and show "Storage Server Normal, Manager Normal" in the CMC).
4 Upgrade the VIP, the node you saw iin the iSCSI tab when clicking on the cluster in the CMC.
Now you are done!

And you would do it from the CMC. Right click on a node and select Install Software. Then choose the upgrade file you downloaded from above and select the node you want to upgrade.
I'm sure HP/LH support could walk you through the first one so you can get the hang of it.

Re: update 8.1 to 8.5
Basically, 8.5 is still so new that they aren't quite pushing it. I think you'll see a greater push as the power users and the such adopt it.
All the guides are available at the link I posted above. You may need to download the ISO's for things and then burn them for the documentation.
Harald, I would highly suggest you contact HP support directly and ask them your questions.

Re: update 8.1 to 8.5
This is such a great product, but the communication and the way the software / documentation is provided...
well, let's be civil and say there is a lot room for improvement...
