Installation Manual

Installing the Management Server on Linux100
• Host for which you want to retrieve cluster information (i.e., Veritas Cluster Server on Solaris
cluster and Microsoft Cluster Server). (This is new functionality that requires version 6.0 of the
CIM extension.)
• Linux hosts that support QLogic failover. (This is new functionality that requires version 6.0 of
the CIM extension.)
Step 15 - Rediscover All Elements
You should rediscover all elements after you do an upgrade by doing HP SIM Discoveryand
Discovery Data Collection. Doing HP SIM Discoveryand Discovery Data Collection is important
because:
• Better scalability is provided after discovery.
• Cluster functionality. To use the new functionality, upgrade CIM Extensions to version 6.0.
Rediscovery is required.
• You will see the following issues until you do HP SIM DiscoveryandDiscovery Data Collection:
• Reports and Capacity Manager/Capacity Explorer show incorrect raw capacity data for
storage systems.
• There is no trunked status indication on Brocade fabrics.
• No NPIV status indication.
• No provisioning for 3PAR storage systems and HP StorageWorks EVA arrays using
Command View EVA 5.03, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, or 7.x.
• New hosts modes on storage systems are not available.
• Backdata collection would be suspended until CIM extensions on Backup Manager Hosts
are upgraded to version 6.0 and they are rediscovered.
Steps that Can Be Run Anytime after the Upgrade
The following steps can be completed anytime after the upgrade; however, you will have reduced
functionality with the product until you complete these steps.
Re - Add Remote Sites in Global Reporters
After the upgrade, add remote sites in Global Reporters. This topic is covered in more detail in this
guide, in the chapter, Installing the Management Server on Microsoft Windows.
IMPORTANT: After upgrade, all remote sites in the Global Reporters are removed. This is done so
you can have a chance to upgrade the remote sites to the same build before Global Reporter
attempts to gather data. Before you re-add the remote sites, be sure to upgrade them to the same
build as the management server.
Migrate Your Brocade Switches to SMI-A
The latest build of the software requires you to migrate your Brocade switches to SMI-A. Until you
migrate your Brocade switches to SMI-A, data such as topology and zoning from the Brocade
