• All EVA 4000/6000/8000 storage systems must be running only one version of XCS (5.100 or later). • If you need to update both VCS and XCS, do not attempt to upgrade both simultaneously. Complete the upgrade of one family of firmware before upgrading the other. • Suspend DR group replication for the duration of the upgrade process on the destination, even if the intersite links are not available. A codeload of one controller forces both controllers on a storage system to reboot.
