Considerations for Upgrading SANMAN and TSM
The following considerations apply when you upgrade SANMAN and TSM:
•
You can upgrade SANMAN and TSM online without disrupting ServerNet
communication over the cluster. However, TSM cannot display information about
the external fabrics while you are upgrading SANMAN.
•
The order in which you upgrade SANMAN and TSM is not critical, but HP
recommends that you upgrade SANMAN first because it includes only a server
component. TSM includes both client and server components.
•
Different versions of SANMAN and TSM support different cluster sizes. Table 4-25
compares the functionality provided by various SANMAN and TSM combinations.
Note. HP recommends that you upgrade SANMAN and TSM to their G06.14 or
superseding versions on all nodes connected to a ServerNet cluster. Upgrading provides
significant enhancements to ServerNet cluster manageability, including the ability to
update the ServerNet II Switch firmware and configuration.
Table 4-25. SANMAN and TSM Considerations
These versions of
SANMAN and TSM Support . . . Notes
G06.09 through G06.11 Up to eight nodes
in a cluster
These versions do not support commands
to update the ServerNet II Switch firmware
and configuration.
G06.12 and G06.13 Up to 16 nodes in
a cluster
These versions support commands to
update the switch firmware and
configuration. In addition, these versions
are backward compatible with the G06.09,
G06.10, and G06.11 versions of the
operating system.
G06.14 and later Up to 24 nodes in
a cluster
These versions are backward compatible
with G06.09 and subsequent versions of
the operating system.
