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.

Arrays controllers, the following are required:

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)
