Upgrading storage systems in a management group or available storage systems
The system upgrades one storage system at a time in management group, making every effort to
keep volumes available. The process includes all patches and upgrades.
When upgrading storage systems in the Available Systems list, all storage systems in the list are
upgraded.
Before upgrading the storage systems in a management group or available storage systems, verify
the following:
• For all storage systems:
You are using Version 9.0 or later of the CMC.◦
◦ All storage systems are in a good state, with no critical events.
◦ If you are using the HP DSM for MPIO or the CLI, upgrade them first.
◦ If you are using VSS, be prepared to upgrade it during the SAN/iQ upgrade process.
• For storage systems in a management group:
You are logged in to the management groups you want to upgrade.◦
◦ At least two storage systems are running managers, so you will not lose quorum.
◦ If you want to maintain availability to volumes during the upgrade, your management
group must be configured with Network RAID-10 (2–Way Mirror) or higher.
◦ All virtual managers in the management group are stopped.
NOTE: During the upgrade procedure, you may receive a warning that the CPU Utilization value
exceeds 90, for example: CPU Utilization = 97.8843. Value exceeds 90. This is an
expected occurrence during an upgrade. No action is needed.
