HP StorageWorks 3000/5000 Enterprise Virtual Array updating product software guide (VCS 3.110) (5697-8108, March 2009)

1 Getting started
This chapter provides information about required kits and reference documentation. Ensure that you
have met the outlined requirements and possess all of the required materials before you begin the
installation procedures described in this guide.
Upgrade paths
You can perform an offline upgrade to VCS 3.110 from VCS 3.028 or VCS 3.100. If you are
upgrading to VCS 3.110 from any other version, you must contact HP Services and arrange a time
for HP Services to perform the upgrade.
An online upgrade to VCS 3.110 is not supported. To perform an offline upgrade, you must stop all
host I/O to the storage system. Stop all applications accessing the storage system and shut down
hosts, if necessary.
VCS 3.110 replaces VCS 3.100. VCS 3.110 contains all of the features and fixes of VCS 3.100.
The only difference is the removal of support for the RoHS-compliant backend loop switch (part number
30-10022-01).
