Installing Command View
Prepare for upgrade
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Command View XP, consider the following before
installing the new version:
• Command View XP 2.1 does not support the XP256 disk array except as external storage.
• Command View XP 2.1 does not support XP1024 and XP128 disk arrays with firmware version
21.09.XX or lower or early versions of 21.10.XX. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Command View XP
ReadMe document for the required firmware version.
• A specific disk array cannot be managed by multiple Command View XP management servers. For
example, a specific array can not appear in the list of actively managed arrays of two different
management servers.
• Before installing Command View XP 2.1 on the management server, uninstall all host agents using the
version of Command View XP currently installed.
• Before installing Command View XP 2.1 on the management server, use the Windows Add/Remove
Programs utility to uninstall the current version from the management server.
• All user-entered data (for example, array lists, users, passwords, and user-entered Path Connectivity
information) will be retained when you upgrade to Command View XP 2.1.
Implement the recommended network configuration
For enhanced security, HP recommends using a network firewall to isolate the Service Processor (SVP) from
the rest of the corporate intranet. To implement this:
• Install a firewall using a router or firewall software on a separate workstation with two LAN cards, one
LAN card for a separate network to the SVP and the other for connecting to the intranet (see Figure 1).
• If you are using firewall software, consider installing antivirus software on the same machine.
• The firewall needs to allow only the ports mentioned in ”Set up ports to bypass a network firewall” on
page 20.

Set up ports to bypass a network firewall
When placing XP disk arrays behind a firewall, you must open certain ports to enable access by the
Command View management station and clients.
