NOTE:
For Microsoft Windows guests: set the windows SCSI timeout registry to 60secs, as follows:
1.
In the windows registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\Disk\TimeOutValue
2.
Set this value to 60 decimal (3Ch).
The ESX layer (VMFS, the VMware filesystem) controls timeouts of VMFS I/O. These values may vary
from ESX release to release.
Xen Citrix
For Xen Citrix, except for NFS SR timeouts, because Citrix XenServer 5.0 mounts using software with
non-default timeout values, use the values described in the Linux section Linux, page 33.
To check or set Xen Citrix parameters, use the set_parm executable found in the /opt/hp/
<driver-specific> directory. When executed, the options to change timeout values are displayed.
NOTE:
•
The timeout values must be increased for Emulex single path (without multipath support) and
QLogic single path being used in the environment. This is not only important for online upgrades
but for general data integrity.
•
Online controller firmware upgrades are supported with Xen Citrix boot devices.
Back up all storage system data
Estimated time to complete: Varies
When to perform: As close as possible to the upgrade
Before beginning the upgrade, it is recommended that you perform a full verified backup of all storage
system data. Although not required, it is always good practice to back up your data before performing
major operations such as software upgrades. The backup should be scheduled as close to the upgrade
process as possible.
For more information about establishing and implementing good backup procedures for the EVA,
contact your HP sales representative.
TIP:
If using server-based management, HP recommends that you also back up the management server
before you begin the upgrade.
