Update recommendation
Users should upgrade to HP P6000 Command View 9.4.1 if already running HP P6000 Command
View 9.4 (previously HP StorageWorks Command View). If HP P6000 Command View 9.4.1 is
already installed, and HP P6000 Command View 9.4.1 installation is initiated, HP P6000 Command
View 9.4.1 will be re-installed. HP P6000 Command View 9.4 is a prerequisite for installing HP P6000
Command View 9.4.1. If HP StorageWorks Command View 9.4 was not installed when starting to
install HP StorageWorks Command View 9.4.1, the installation exits with the following error message:
The “HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Software Suite 9.4” needs to be
installed on the system in order to apply the 9.4.1 patch.

upgrade because they will be overwritten during installation of HP P6000 Command View 9.4.1:

directly to a virtual disk rather than to a folder.
