HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2 MU5 Upgrade Instructions

6 Deploying the HP 3PAR OS to the Service Processor via
the Secure Service Collector
The following software upgrade can be applied to the service processor via the Secure Service
Collector database.
CAUTION: The SP level must be at SP-4.1.0.GA-97 before uploading a package. Using an
earlier SP version to upload a package might cause a failure and require a rebuild of the SP
software.
CAUTION: Do not use a collector server SSH remote session to connect to the SP to perform an
update. The connection resets during the update and update fails. The SP might require a rebuild
of the software when an update fails.
CAUTION: All SPmaint sessions must be stopped before deploying the package.
