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. Upgrade Solution Software
6. If installing an operating system that uses Secure Path (AIX, HP-UX, Netware,
Sun or Windows), upgrade Secure Path to the latest version at this time;
7. Upgrade ACS software.
NOTE: Solely for the purpose of performing upgrades to the ACS firmware, this Solution
Software Kit supports previous ACS Version 8.6. It is not recommended mixing ACS versions in
the same SAN.
NOTE: For upgrades in a SAN that includes HSG80 array controllers and Enterprise Virtual 2.0
Arrays controllers, the following are required:
• ACS 8.7 and VCS 2.0 require Solution Software 8.7 (SWCC 2.5) - Retrieve
Solution Software drivers from EVA kit, retrieve SWCC drivers from ACS 8.7 kit
• ACS 8.6 and VCS 2.0 require Solution Software 8.6 (SWCC 2.4)
• ACS 8.7 and ACS 8.6 require Solution Software 8.7 (SWCC 2.5)
Refer to the StorageWorks HSG60/HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.7
Maintenance and Service Guide and the Solution Software Release Notes for the latest
information on upgrades.
Use the following installation and upgrade procedures for Tru64 UNIX systems:
Installing the Client
NOTE: You must have the SNMP service installed on your client computer before the
installation.
1. Insert the Solution Software CD-ROM into a computer running Windows 2000 or
Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 or later.
2. Using Microsoft Windows Explorer, go to the SWCC directory on the CD-ROM
and double-click
setup.exe. The SWCC Setup window will appear.
