IMPORTANT:
• Do not perform HP XP7 Performance Advisor upgrade when either a scheduled or a manual
configuration collection for an array is in progress.
• By default, port 80 is reserved on the management station for the XP7 Performance advisor
and host agents communication during the HP XP7 Performance Advisor upgrade or the host
agents upgrade. So, you might experience connectivity issues in scenarios where you installed
HP XP7 Performance Advisor and upgraded the host agent, or vice versa. The connectivity
issue can arise only if you specified a port number other than port 80 when installing HP XP7
Performance Advisor. To resolve connectivity issues, see the HP XP7 Performance Advisor
Software Troubleshooting and FAQs Guide.
• HP XP7 Performance Advisor v6.1 does not support the inband mode of configuration data
collection. Schedules that are created using the inband mode of configuration data collection
are deleted when you upgrade from any previous version to v6.1. To continue with the upgrade,
click Yes on the confirmation message that is displayed during the upgrade.
