109HSG80 ACS Solution Software V8.8 for Novell NetWare Installation and Configuration Guide
Completing Your Configuration under Novell NetWare
Novell NetWare recognizes new Enterprise Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel
Storage subsystem devices or changes to existing configurations. You do not need
to restart the NetWare server.
Refer to the Novell documentation that came with your system to determine
whether to use NWconfig, Console one, or NSSMU to configure NSS or Legacy
storage types. These options also depend upon the operating system version you
have installed.
Solution Software Upgrade Procedures
Use the following procedures for upgrades to your Solution Software. It is
considered best practice to follow this order of procedures:
1. Perform backups of data prior to upgrade.
2. Verify operating system versions, upgrade operating systems to supported
versions and patch levels.
3. Quiesce all I/O and unmount all file systems before proceeding.
4. Upgrade switch firmware.
5. If installing an operating system that uses Secure Path, upgrade Secure Path to
the latest version which will also upgrade Solution Software, then skip to step
7.
6. Upgrade Solution Software.
7. Upgrade ACS software.
Note: Solely for the purpose of performing upgrades to the ACS firmware, this
Solution Software Kit supports previous ACS V8.6 and 8.7. It is recommended that
you do not mix ACS versions in the same SAN.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array
Controller Software Maintenance and Service Guide and the Solution Software
Release Notes for the latest information on upgrades.
