10.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Upgrade Guide (AX696-96256, March 2013)

Tracking the upgrade progress
The Upgrade Progress window opens, showing the upgrade progress for each storage system.
When the upgrade is complete, the Upgrade Summary window opens and displays the results of
the upgrade:
• To see information about the upgrade, click Installation Succeeded.
• If the upgrade failed, click Installation Failed for more information.
• To save the upgrade information to a file, click Export Information. HP recommends that you
use this option to save the upgrade information.
Verifying the management group version
To verify the management group version, select the management group in the CMC navigation
window and select the Registration tab. The management group version is located at the top of
the Registration Information section.
Consider the following:
• When upgrading to a new version, the management group version will not change to that
version until all storage systems in the management group (and in the remote management
group if a Remote Copy relationship exists) have been upgraded.
• When upgrading, the upgrade process validates the hardware identity of all of the storage
systems in the management group. If this validation fails for any reason, the management
group version will not be upgraded. For example, if a management group has a mix of
platforms, some of which are unsupported by a software release, then only the supported
platforms get upgraded successfully. Therefore, the management group version will not be
upgraded if the unsupported platforms remain in that management group.
Upgrading management groups with Remote Copy associations
If you are upgrading management groups with Remote Copy associations, you should upgrade
the remote management groups first. If you upgrade the primary group first, Remote Copy may
stop working temporarily, until both the primary management group and the remote group have
finished upgrading. Upgrade the primary site immediately after upgrading the remote site. See
“Verifying the management group version” (page 10).
Cross-Version Remote Copy allows for remote copies to be supported between management groups
that are running different LeftHand OS versions. For example, remote copy is supported between
a management group running LeftHand OS 10.x and a management group running LeftHand OS
9.x.
