Verify management group version
When upgrading to Version 9.5, the management group version will not change to Version 9.5
until all storage systems in the management group (and in the remote management group if a
Remote Copy relationship exists) are upgraded to Version 9.5.
When upgrading to Version 9.5, the upgrade process validates the hardware identity of all of
the storage systems in the management group. If this validation fails for any reason, the
management group version will not be upgraded to 9.5. For example, if a management group
has a mix of platforms, some of which are unsupported by a software release; then only the
supported platforms get upgraded successfully. Therefore, the management group version will
not be upgraded if the unsupported platforms remain in that management group.
How to verify management group version
In the CMC navigation window, select the management group, and then select the Registration tab.
The management group version number is at the top of the Registration Information section.
To install the SNMP MIBs
When installing the CMC, select the Complete install option. The MIBs are installed in the directory
with the CMC, at HP P4000 UI mibs.
Retaining snapshot if an SRA operation takes longer than 30 minutes
In the P4000 SRA, an operation should complete within 30 minutes. However, to ensure that the
corresponding remote snapshot schedule retains a copy if the operation takes longer, set the snapshot
retention schedule to keep three snapshots (3x30=90 minutes).
Configuring SRM and vCenter servers for the VmImageConsistency feature
To ensure that the VmImageConsistency feature works properly, you must install the Application Aware
Snapshot Manager on the vCenter server and the P4000 SRA on the SRM server.
In most P4000 SRA for VMware SRM configurations, the SRM server and the vCenter server are two
separate server machines. For these configurations, you must manually create all servers in the CMC
and configure the controlling server.
When using the P4000 SRA for SRM, configure the server IQN even when using CHAP authentication
When you manually create servers in the CMC for the SRA, add the server IQN even if CHAP
authentication is enabled.
