If you have a Windows 2000 host, you must perform an offline upgrade to upgrade the storage system software from v2.000 to v2.003.
b
You can upgrade to v2.003, v2.004, v2.005, or v2.006, depending on your EVA type (refer to Table 2.2).
c
When you are running VCS v3.010, do not delete any LUNs, snapshots, or snapclones that exceed 1984GB.
d
If you are not using Continuous Access EVA in your storage solution, you can upgrade directly from VCS v3.000 or VCS v3.001 to
VCS v3.020.
The following procedure describes an online upgrade or rolling of the storage system software.
HP recommends that you perform an online or rolling upgrade when you upgrade from one
storage system software version to the next.
During an online upgrade of the storage system software, VCS is upgraded on the HSV
controllers, while they are still receiving I/O from the applications on the host servers. The
HSV controllers do reboot at the same time (usually within host OS timeout periods). Online
upgrades should be conducted at off peak hours. Furthermore, database applications with
access to the storage system should not be running.
