HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator v3.0.7 release notes (AG421-96007, August 2007)

HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 3.0.7 release notes 7

The previous functionality works very well for network devices, such as the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

However, with the addition of PFS features, there are the following implications:

• Any configuration change such as add or delete of a share, if not saved automatically, causes the

system to start with the impaired functionality and causes service disruption.

• There is no concept of switching configurations with PFS. If a saved configuration "save1" has system

part of domain "save1.dom" and has shares a, b, and c, and current configurations have system part

of "curr.dom" and have share x, y, and z, then switching to the "save1" configuration does not work

because the domain information which makes the system part of domain "save1.dom" has been

overwritten. Hence, switching configurations makes the PFS configuration information invalid.

Upgrading from version 2.1.11 to 3.0.7

This section describes how to upgrade the HP EFS WAN Accelerator software from version 2.1.11 to

version 3.0.7. These instructions assume you are familiar with the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, the HP EFS

WAN Accelerator CLI, and the Management Console.

You do not have to clear the data store before performing a software version upgrade.

NOTE: An HP EFS WAN Accelerator running 2.1.11 cannot be upgraded to 3.0 through 3.0.3 or 3.0.3a

(2.1.10 and earlier are not affected). If the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is running 2.1.11, upgrade to 3.0.4

or later.

To upgrade from version 2.1.11 to version 3.0.7:

1. Connect to the Management Console on each HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

2. Go to the Setup: Upgrade Software page and choose one of the following options:

• URL. Type the URL that points to the software image in the text box.

• Local File. Browse your file system and select the software image.

3. Click Install Upgrade.

If you upgrade to v3.0.7 and clear the data store while running v3.0.7, you will not be able to downgrade

to a previous version of the software without clearing the data store again.

Upgrading from version 3.0.4e to 3.0.7

If upgrading a 3010 or 5010 from WA 3.0.4e, you will need to run the following from the command-line

interface before you can upgrade the device:

_exec ln -s /dev/cciss/c0d0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p

For example:
