Upgrading the CMC
NOTE: Before upgrading the CMC, verify that you are using the CMC that you want to upgrade.
The CMC can be upgraded independently of the LeftHand OS software and other HP StoreVirtual
Storage components. Be aware that some patches may require an upgrade to the CMC before
installing the patch.
HP recommends that you upgrade to the latest versions of HP StoreVirtual Storage. However, you
can use the latest CMC version or remain at an earlier CMC version and manage an earlier version
of LeftHand OS.
To use the latest CMC version, see “Using the latest CMC version to manage an earlier LeftHand
OS version” (page 7) for additional steps after upgrading the CMC.
To continue using an earlier CMC version, see “Continue using an earlier CMC version to manage
an earlier LeftHand OS version” (page 7) for instructions.
1. Start the CMC.
2. Select Configuration Summary and select the Upgrades tab.
3. Click Continue next to the CMC icon.
4. When the CMC Upgrade window opens, click Install.
NOTE: If you are performing the upgrade offline, click Use Local Media. Select the network
directory where you downloaded the files and continue with the upgrade.
The CMC closes and the installation wizard opens.
5. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
When the installation is complete, the new version of the CMC opens.
