5 MDS 9000 Series Multilayer Director & Multilayer Fabric Switches Release Notes
the ITRC Users - migrate your vital ITRC profile data icon on the HP Support Center home
page at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc and follow the ITRC migration tool instructions to transfer
your ITRC information to HP Support Center.
If you used a single ITRC login (username and password) for multiple users, you need separate HP
Passport sign-ins for each individual on HP Support Center. An ITRC account can only be migrated
once, and only to one HP Passport account on HP Support Center. HP recommends that you
identify within your team the individual you want to claim the ITRC account. This person can
enable others to have access to these entitlements, if desired.
In ITRC, each entitlement had a single owner. In HP Support Center, you can choose between a
single owner model (where one user is the declared owner, and can elect to share with others), or
a multiple ownership model. This decision can be made separately for each entitlement. Multiple
ownership allows anyone with the SAID or HP Care Pack ID to claim ownership without having
any single owner. Ownership model applies to all three types of HP Support Center Entitlements -
warranties, HP Care Packs or support agreements. They can be put into a SHARE and controlled
just like a SAID. The default ownership mode of migrated entitlements is single owner. To
change the mode to multiple owners, follow these steps in the HP Support Center after you
complete the migration:
o Sign in to HP Support Center with your HP Passport username and password.
o Click My Support.
o Click My contracts & warranties and select Edit Contracts & warranties.
o Select the entitlement(s) you want to edit.
For more information on creating shares or changing your entitlement(s) to a multiple ownership
model, see the HP Support Center FAQs at
http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/c02761338.pdf
5. Customers with a HP support agreement or HP Care Pack can download new software updates as
they are available. After you have registered for an HP Passport account and have linked your HP
support agreements to this account, to obtain software updates:
o Log in to your HP Passport account from the HP Support Center home page at
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc
o Click Software updates and licensing under Download options
o Follow the instructions to locate and download your software updates
Consult the appropriate Cisco MDS 9000 release notes for instructions on how to determine the current
NX-OS version on your switch.
