10.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Upgrade Guide (AX696-96256, March 2013)

Checking for available upgrades
1. On the CMC menu bar, click one of the following buttons, depending on the state of your
system:
• Upgrades Available—The Upgrades tab opens and displays a list of available upgrades.
If you are using HP StoreVirtual DSM for Microsoft MPIO, Application Aware Snapshot
Manager, or the CLI, the current versions of these components are listed. Go to
“Completing the upgrade” (page 6).
• Check for Upgrades—The system accesses an FTP site and determines which upgrade or
patch files are required. Continue with step 2.
• Patches Available—The Upgrades tab opens and displays a list of available patches.
This button only displays if you previously selected the Ignore Upgrades check box and
there are patches available to install.
• View Notifications—Notifications are downloaded when the CMC is opened. Notifications
include release notes for firmware, driver and software patches and updates. You will
see all notifications that are identified on the ftp site. As notifications become outdated,
they will expire and no longer be displayed.
NOTE: If a message displays that there is a problem connecting to the download site, check
your Internet connection and click Check for Upgrades again.
If your system is current, Software Up to Date will display instead of Upgrades Available or
Check for Upgrades. No further action is required.
2. Click Start Download.
The applicable files are downloaded to your download directory. To verify or change the
download directory, see “Setting upgrade preferences” (page 5).
NOTE: If you decide not to install some upgrade files now, the next time you check for
upgrades, the system will not download files you already have.
Check for upgrades when Internet connectivity is unavailable
NOTE: You must be running CMC Version 9.5 or later.
1. Connect your computer to the Internet outside of the firewall.
2. Start the CMC.
3. Select Configuration Summary and select the Upgrades tab. Click Start Download to download
all the upgrade and patch files to the computer where the CMC is installed.
4. Click Help→Upgrade→Preferences. Note the download directory. This is where all the upgrade
and patch files are downloaded. The default location in Microsoft Windows is Program
Files\HP\StoreVirtual\UI\downloads.
5. Close the CMC.
6. Reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Copy the downloaded files to a network share location or to portable media, or use the CMC
on that computer to upgrade your storage systems. If you copy the files to a network location,
any CMC you use to do upgrades must point to that network location to see the files. To
change the download directory, see “Setting upgrade preferences” (page 5).
Completing the upgrade
Upgrade the HP StoreVirtual Storage components in the following order:
1. CMC (including the CLI)
2. Any patches or other components as indicated in the Install Action Required window
