Checking the storage system hardware

Estimated time to complete: 15–20 minutes

When to perform: 1–2 weeks prior to the upgrade. Provide enough time to order and replace any

failed components.

Before upgrading your Enterprise Virtual Array, you should check the operation of the storage system

hardware and replace any failed comp onents. This ensures the storage system will be operating properly

when the upgrade is performed. This task should be performed far enough in advance to give you time to

order and replace any failed hardware comp onents before beginning the upgrade.

1. Open HP Command View EVA and click the icon of the storage system you want to upgrade.

Check for hardware errors.

a. Check the H ardware folder in the Navigation pane. If there are any hardware caution or

warning conditions, HP Command View EVA displays the appropriate icon over the folder.

b. Click the Hardware folder to expand the navigation tree.

The Hardware Folder Properties window opens. The O perational State ﬁ eld indicates if there is

a hardware problem.
