For more details on linking your entitlements, see the HP Support Center FAQs at the
following HP website: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/c02761338.pdf
4. Former IT Resource Center (ITRC) users: Customers can migrate their old ITRC
account user settings to the new HP Support Center user profile. This ensures that you get
access to content and features such as Support Case Manager, Patch management,
Knowledge content, and Software download and licensing. Click the Start your
migration now link in the introductory text or click 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.
