Online Upgrade Considerations
This feature allows the upgrade of the OS concurrently with I/O activity on the attached hosts,
provided certain conditions are met. For further information and pre-planning of online upgrades,
refer to the latest version of the HP 3PAR OS Upgrade Pre-Planning Guide. To obtain a copy of
this documentation, go to http://www.hp.com/3par/support_manuals, select your product, and
then click Manuals.
WARNING! Beginning with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2, Adaptive Optimization (AO) is implemented
on the nodes together with an on-node version of System Reporter (SR). After upgrading to HP
3PAR OS to 3.1.2.278 (GA), AO will need to be configured on the nodes; AO implemented by
external SR will no longer work for systems running HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2. There is no direct conversion
from external System Reporter-based AO configurations and HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2 AO, see the HP
3PAR CLI Administrator’s Guide for additional information on how to configure AO on-node. SR
3.1 should be used for performance analysis and reports.
CAUTION: If you are running any Recovery Manager or System Reporter applications you must
upgrade to the latest versions (RM-E 4.4, RM-S 4.4, RM-O 4.3, RM-V 2.4, or SR 3.1)
before
upgrading to HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2. These later Recovery Manager and System Reporter versions
are the only versions compatible with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2, and as they are backwards compatible
with HP 3PAR OS 2.3.1 and 3.1.1 there is no issue with upgrading them
before
upgrading the
HP 3PAR OS.
NOTE: Direct upgrades from 3.1.1.226 to 3.1.2.278 are not supported with the initial release
of HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2, but are expected to be supported at a future date.
Customers running 3.1.1 and wishing to upgrade to 3.1.2 will need to upgrade to the latest 3.1.1
Maintenance Update (MU) prior to upgrading to 3.1.2.
