7.0.8 Insight Remote Support Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Monitored Devices Configuration Guide
Chapter 19: Configuring StoreVirtual P4000 Storage Systems
Note: For LeftHand OS 9.0 devices, Patch Set 07 is recommended and for LeftHand OS 9.5
devices, Patch Set 03 is recommended for all devices. For P4800 devices running LeftHand OS
9.0, Patch Set 05 is required for Insight Remote Support version 7.0.8.
Note: P4800 Storage Systems running LeftHand OS 9.0 require 9.0 Patch Set 05 or greater
installed on every P4000 node to work with Insight Remote Support 7.0.8. This applies to the
following models:
l BM480A HP P4800 G2 63TB SAS BladeSystem SAN Solution
l BV931A HP P4800 G2 31.5TB SAS SAN Solution for BladeSystem
l BV932A HP P4800 G2 42TB SAS SAN Solution for BladeSystem

CMC version 9.0 and higher provide the option to download LeftHand OS upgrades and patches from HP.
Once the current upgrades and patches are downloaded from HP to the CMC system, CMC can be used
to update Management Groups or nodes with these changes.
When you upgrade the LeftHand OS software on a storage node, the version number changes. Check the
current software version by selecting a storage node in the navigation window and viewing the Details tab
window.
Note: Directly upgrading from LeftHand OS 9.5 to LeftHand OS 11.0 is not supported.
Important: When installing/upgrading LeftHand OS, do not modify the default SNMP settings.
The default settings are used by Insight Remote Support, and communication between the
P4000 Storage System and the Hosting Device will not function properly if the SNMP settings
are modified. SNMP is enabled by default in LeftHand OS. In CMC 9.0 and higher, SNMP traps
are modified at the Management Group level, not at the node level.
Understand Best Practices
l LSMD upgrade — LSMD upgrade is required for upgrading from LeftHand OS 7.x.
l Virtual IP addresses — If a Virtual IP (VIP) address is assigned to a storage node in a cluster, the VIP
storage node needs to be upgraded last. The VIP storage node appears on the cluster iSCSI tab, see
figure "Find the Storage Node Running the VIP".
a. Upgrade the non-VIP storage nodes that are running managers, one at a time.
b. Upgrade the non-VIP non-manager storage nodes.
c. Upgrade the VIP storage node.
