CAUTION:
If the upgrade is being performed on an EVA6400/8400 under heavy load, processing of
the System Data Collector file component could time out and display one of the following
error messages:
If either error message appears, click OK. Another message appears indicating that the
array is unresponsive; wait for communication between HP Command View EVA and the
array to be reestablished. Once the array is available, the array appears as available in
the navigation pane. Continue with step 10 to verify that the upgrade completed successfully.
After Figure 19 appears, both controllers resynchronize and begin operating the new controller
software. Once the re-synchronization is complete, the controllers begin processing host I/Os.
Next, additional code within the storage system is updated, which can take up to 10 minutes to
complete. This includes firmware on the I/O modules in the disk enclosures. During this interval,
the Storage System Updating Firmware window opens (see Figure 20 on page 58).
