Step 5. Upgrading The Controller Software - HP 4400 Software Manual

Step 5. Upgrading the controller software

Estimated time to complete: 25–30 minutes
CAUTION:
Stop all storage modification jobs (such as creation, deletion, shrinkage, expansion, and
presentation) 30 minutes before starting the controller software upgrade.
Before upgrading the controller software, ensure that the array configuration is stable and is
not being modified. If configuration changes are in progress, monitor them using HP P6000
Command View and wait until they are complete before proceeding with the upgrade.
The XCS 10000000 controller software image contains an update to the System Data Collector
for upgrades from XCS 09522000. If you perform the upgrade on an EVA6400/8400 during
heavy I/O load, the upgrade process may exceed the expected upgrade interval, perhaps
generating an error message indicating that the upgrade has failed. However, this does not
affect host I/O to the array and the upgrade should complete as expected.

2. In the navigation pane, select the array you want to upgrade.
