HP P6000 Command View 9.4 Release Notes (T5494-96472, October 2011)

Verifying HP P6000 Command View code
HP products deliver on the “trustworthy and reliable” brand promise. Creating and delivering an
electronic cryptographic "signature" for HP code (such as software, firmware, drivers, applications,
patches, and solutions) provides an industry-standard method to verify the integrity and authenticity
of the code you receive from HP before deployment. Digitally signed code helps you manage your
security vulnerability risk from using non-HP versions of the software and firmware, which may fail to
meet expectations and may contain malicious code (like a virus or worm).
To verify the HP P6000 Command View code before installing the software, contact your HP
representative for instructions.

Windows 2003 server requires a hotfix

If you are using the server for storage only, not as a management server, you do not need to install
this hotfix.
