Upgrading the Input/Output Modules
P/N 300-014-237
REV 02
This document describes how to upgrade the input/output (I/O) modules in a VNXe3100
or VNXe3150 dual-SP disk processor enclosure (DPE) to a different type of module.
Upgrading the I/O modules requires that both SPs have 8 GB of memory.
IMPORTANT
Your VNXe system must be running VNXe Operating System Environment 2.3 or later for
you to upgrade its I/O modules.
When you upgrade I/O modules, you must upgrade the I/O module in each SP.
Before you begin the procedure:
Make sure you have the correct I/O modules for the upgrade. The
Information Guide
and the
Support site (emc.com/vnxesupport) contains a list of supported I/O modules.
Refer to your EMC® VNXe™ online help (Servicing your system > Adding or replacing
faulted hardware components > Add a new hardware component) for instructions on
how to identify I/O modules and handle hardware components.
