HP 3PAR Upgrade Pre-Planning Guide
b. Remove the old quorum witness on both arrays:
# setrcopytarget witness remove s210
# setrcopytarget witness remove -remote s210
c. Create the new quorum witness on both arrays:
# setrcopytarget witness create <new_witness_ip> s210
# setrcopytarget witness create -remote <new_witness_ip> s210
d. Wait for the quorum state to stabilize, transitioning from the Initializing to the
Not-started state. This may take several (15–30) seconds. To view the quorum state,
issue the following command:
# showrcopy -qw targets
5. After the upgrade to HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3, restart the quorum witness on both arrays by issuing
the setrcopytarget witness start command. For example:
setrcopytarget witness start s210
# setrcopytarget witness start -remote s210
6. Verify that the quorum witness has started by issuing the showrcopy-qw command. For
example:
# showrcopy -qw targets
