SAN/iQ Software Upgrade On A Management Group with Mixed Version
Storage Modules May Not Upgrade The Management Group
Version (7698)
Scenario
In a management group with mixed SAN/iQ software versions, the
management group database version does not get upgraded, For example, if
the current management group version is 6.5, and some storage modules are
upgraded to 70 6.6 and others are upgraded to 70 7.0, the management group
version remains at 6.5.
Workaround
Upgrade all of the storage modules in the management group to the same 7.0
version, then the Console will upgrade the management group version. In the
above example, upgrading all storage modules to 70 7.0 will correctly upgrade
the management group version to 7.0.
Drive Status Alerts Appear When The Storage Module Is Rebooted (7700)
Scenario
When an storage module reboots, the system will display information about
drive status in the Alert panel and send email alerts (if notification is
configured) even though the status of the drives are unchanged from their
state before the reboot.
Explanation
Normally Alerts are displayed and sent only when something in the system
changed. In this case the previous drive status was not saved so that when the
system reboots it cannot tell if the status has changed. To ensure the current
status is known, the alerts are generated after reboot.
