HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Upgrade LeftHand OS on the P4000 Storage Systems
Note: LeftHand Operating System (LeftHand OS) is the new name for SAN/iQ.
Use CMC to upgrade to LeftHand OS 9.5 or higher (LeftHand OS 11.0 is recommended) on the P4000
Storage Systems. If your P4000 Storage Systems already has LeftHand OS 9.5 installed, you do not need
to perform this procedure.
Note: For LeftHand OS 9.5 devices, Patch Set 05 is required for all devices.
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.
