HPE recommends using the Maintenance Window functionality within the HPE InfoSight portal to inform HPE Support of
upcoming maintenance windows.
Refer to https://infosight.hpe.com/dashboards/nimble/wellness/maintenance-windows for more information.
You can disable automated support case generation during planned maintenance from the Manage Maintenance Windows
page. After a maintenance window is set, no further communication with HPE Support is required.
Note:
•
The array can function with one healthy controller while the one is installed.
•
Controllers are shipped without power supplies installed and with empty PCIe cages. Before installing the controller,
you must move the PCIe cages and power supplies from the existing controller to the controller.
•
Depending on your controller upgrade path, you may need to upgrade the power supply units (PSUs) rather than
move them from the existing controller:
•
HPE Alletra 6070 and 6090 arrays require 1600W PSUs
•
HPE Alletra 6030 and 6050 arrays with 800W PSUs provide less protection against PSU failure. HPE strongly
recommends that you upgrade to 1600W PSUs for these arrays.
Controller upgrade kits arrive with 1600W PSUs if applicable to your upgrade path..
•
If you plan to upgrade NICs or FC HBAs, the PCIe card upgrade must be done separately, before or after the
controller upgrade. See .
Important:
Before you attempt to install the controller:
•
Do not remove the existing controller until you are ready to install the upgrade.
•
Determine which controller to upgrade before installation.
•
Determine the model, operating system version running on the array, and the state of the controllers. See Check
Array Model, OS Version, and Operating State Using the GUI on page 49.
Procedure
1. Prepare the existing controller for the upgrade.
a) Log in to the array using the CLI.
b) Determine whether the existing controller is in Standby mode.
ctrlr --list --array array_name
c) Halt the standby controller.
halt --array array_name --controller {A | B}
Example
$ halt --array array123 --controller A
