Updating/Patching Windows NT with Service Packs
The HP AA array is able to have different Windows NT Service
Packs on each system of the array. The only consideration is that the
Service Pack must be supported. Examine the Readme file located
on the Marathon CDROM for the supported Support Packs.
One reboot is required for a Service Pack upgrade of all systems. If
only the IOPs will be upgraded they can be done one at a time with
re-mirrors in between. If all systems of the Array will be upgraded it
is best to upgrade the CE and IOPs and issue a Marathon System
Reboot.
For the CE Operating System
To add a Windows NT Service Pack to the CE operating system:
• Install Windows NT Service Pack software.
• When prompted, do not reboot Windows NT.
• Using the Marathon CD, reinstall Marathon software, selecting
the CE installation option.
• Schedule an appropriate time to reboot the CE operating system.
For the IOP Operating System
To add a Windows NT Service Pack to an IOP:
• Using the Marathon Configuration Utility, save the current
configuration to a file.
• Install Windows NT Service Pack software.
• When prompted, do not reboot Windows NT.
• Using the Marathon CD, reinstall Marathon software, selecting
the IOP installation option.
• When prompted, open the Marathon Configuration Utility.
• Open and commit the file that you saved in Step 1
• Use the Marathon Manager to reboot the IOP.
