If the ACS version is not Version 8.7 or a subsequently patched version of ACS
Version 8.7, contact your support provider for instructions on how to obtain the
updated version.
If the ACS version is Version 8.7P or Version 8.7S, you need additional layered
application software beyond this Solution Software Kit to take advantage of the added
functionality of these versions. See "Layered Software Applications", page 26, for
additional information on compatible layered application software.
ACS Version 8.7 is fully compatible with Version 8.7A Solution Software. In addition,
Version 8.7A Solution Software is backward compatible with ACS Version 8.6, which
benefits the upgrade process across your SAN.
IMPORTANT: This does not apply to Windows Server 2003. Windows Server 2003 is
compatible with ACS V8.7-1 or higher.
Patching ACS
Each ACS patch builds on the current version of ACS and all previously installed
patches. ACS patches must be installed in order, from lowest to highest, when multiple
patches are installed. ACS patches are available for download from the following
StorageWorks website:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/softwaredrivers/acs/index.html
ACS patch downloads come packaged with the instructions and scripts needed to
apply the patch. See the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.7 Maintenance and
Service Guide for further information on patching ACS.
For multi-bus configurations, use the following procedure in addition to those
provided with the ACS patch download:
1. Apply ACS patches to both controllers.
2. Move all units to
OTHER_CONTROLLER, one unit at a time, using Secure Path
software. Moving the units in this manner is not a requirement, but it lets the
controller do less work than when moving all the units at once.
