Installation notes and best practices

• When planning a firmware update, schedule an appropriate time to perform the update. Firmware

updates must be performed during a system maintenance window, with all I/O to the system

halted.

• Before installing new firmware, review system requirements, enhancements list, fixes list, and other

information in the firmware release notes, device QuickSpecs, and updated user documentation.

• Before installing new firmware, ensure that the system is stable and is not being reconfigured or

changed in any way. If changes are in progress, monitor them and wait until they are completed

before proceeding with the upgrade.

• Before installing new firmware, HP recommends creating a full backup of all data stored on the

enclosure.

• After the installation process, verify system status in the software tools and confirm that the new

firmware version is displayed as running on the enclosure.
