HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.2 Install Guide (T1789-96317, May 2011)

Upgrading the P9000 Performance Advisor Windows host
agents
IMPORTANT:
• During the Windows host agent upgrade process, port 80 on the management station is always
reserved as the default port for the P9000 Performance Advisor and host agent communication.
Any other port is not considered. So, you might experience connectivity issues in scenarios where
you installed P9000 Performance Advisor and upgraded the Windows host agent. The connectivity
issue can arise only if you specified a port number other than port 80 when installing P9000
Performance Advisor installation. For more information on resolving this issue, “Resolving man-
agement station and host agent connectivity issues” on page 135.
• You can upgrade to the P9000 Performance Advisor Windows host agent v5.2 from the v4.5,
v4.5.1, v4.6, v5.0, or v5.1 Windows host agent. Before upgrading to v5.2, do one of the following:
Upgrade to the v4.5, v4.5.1, v4.6, v5.0, or v5.1 Windows host agent.
OR
Remove the existing pre-v4.5 and install the v4.5, v4.5.1, v4.6, v5.0, or v5.1 Windows host
agent.
For more information, see the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software Installation
Guide provided for the v4.5, v4.5.1, v4.6, v5.0, or v5.1.
• If you want to upgrade the Windows host agent installed in a location other than the following
default installation location, <Installation_Drive>:\Program Files\Hewlett-
Packard\xppa, remove the existing version and then install the v5.2 host agent. For more in-
formation, refer to the Notes section in the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Release
