Upgrading a Host with the Latest CIM Extension
To avoid the following issues from occurring after you upgrade the CIM Extension for Windows,
perform the steps provided in this section:
• The Host CIM Extension Version Report in Reporting still displays the previous version.
• Host bus adapter data for the Windows host is removed from the management server
database.
• If the Windows host has Emulex drivers, it is missing previously obtained data from switches
and storage systems.
• FSRM scans are not possible.
Perform the following steps to avoid or resolve these issues:
1. Upgrade the management server.
2. Upgrade the CIM Extension on the Windows hosts.
NOTE: You do not need to upgrade the CIM Extensions all at once. Keep in mind,
however, that CIM Extensions from earlier versions do not return all information, such as
FSRM data. It is strongly recommended you upgrade your CIM Extensions on Windows as
soon as possible.
3. If hosts are not in the “Default” discovery group, you will need to restart AppStorManager,
which is the service for the management server. To avoid restarting AppStorManager, you can
move hosts to the “Default” discovery group.
