A.05.70 HP Insight Remote Support Advanced HP StorageWorks P4000 Storage System Migration Guide (October 2011, 5900-1528)

1.3.1.3 Upgrade Software on Storage Nodes
1. Right-click the first storage node to upgrade and select Install Software. The Install Software window
opens.
2. Select from the list which storage nodes to upgrade.
3. Select the upgrade.
4. Click Install.
1.3.1.4 Verify Management Group Version
• When upgrading from version 7.x to release 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5, the management group version will not
move to new release version until all storage nodes in the management group (and in the remote
management group if a Remote Copy relationship exists) are upgraded to release 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5
SAN/iQ.
• When upgrading from version 7.x to release 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5, the upgrade process validates the
hardware identity of all of the storage nodes in the management group. If this validation fails for any
reason, the management group version will not be upgraded to 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5. For example, if a
management group has a mix of platforms, some of which are unsupported by a software release; then
only the supported platforms get upgraded successfully, the management group version will not be
upgraded if the unsupported platforms remain in that management group.
1.3.1.4.1 How to Verify Management Group Version
In the CMC navigation window, select the management group, and then select the Registration tab.
The management group version number is at the top of the Registration Information section, as shown in
Figure 1-4 “Verifying the Management Group Version Number”.

1.3.1.5 Check for Patches
After you have upgraded to release 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5, go to www.hp.com/support and check for applicable
patches required for your storage node. CMC 9.0 and 9.5will show available patches, and can be used
to download them from HP to the CMC system.
1.3.2 Configuring the P4000 Storage Systems Communications
Use the following procedure to verify your SNMP settings. If you did not modify the SAN/iQ SNMP settings
when you installed/upgraded SAN/iQ 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5 then you should not need to make any updates
during the following procedure.
Under SAN/iQ 8.5 users configure the CMS trap host destination on each P4000 node. Under SAN/iQ
9.0 and 9.5 users can configure different severity Alert levels to send from the Management Group. Under
Insight Remote Support, configure each Management Group to send v1 SNMP traps of Critical and
Warning levels in Standard message text length.
NOTE: Under SAN/iQ 9.0 and 9.5, users can set the CMS trap host destination on the P4000 Management
Group using the command line createSNMPTrapTarget command instead of using the CMC. The
getGroupInfo command will show the current SNMP settings and SNMP trap host destinations configured
at the Management Group level.
Perform the following steps to verify and/or update your SNMP settings:
