9.2.1 Dual-Redundant Controller Rolling Upgrade

If your HSOF Software version supports a Dual-Redundant Controller Rolling

Upgrade, follow the below procedures.

CAUTION

Prior to installing HSOF V5.7 software, it is important to first

determine whether the two controllers in your dual-redundant

configurations have the same or different product ID’s, this will

determine the upgrade procedure you will use to continue.

To view the product ID’s on your dual-redundant controllers, establish a local

connection to the controller through the maintenance port of one of the

controllers, (which becomes “this controller”). Enter the following commands

and observe the resulting displays:

SHOW THIS_CONTROLLER and SHOW OTHER_CONTROLLER

The product ID is shown in the first characters of the display, prior to the

hardware serial number. Most controllers have the product ID of “HSZ50” but

a very few controllers may have the product ID of “HSZ50 (C) DEC.”

• IF the Product ID’s of the two HSZ50 controllers in a dual-redundant pair

are the same, use the procedure for Same Product ID’s for Dual-

Redundant Rolling Upgrade (Section 9.2.1.1).

• IF the Product ID’s of the two HSZ50 controllers in a dual-redundant pair

are different, and IF your current Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system

version is V4.0x or lower, use the procedure for Different Product ID’s

and Compaq Tru64 UNIX V4.0x for Dual-Redundant Rolling Upgrade

(Section 9.2.1.2).

• IF the Product ID’s of the two HSZ50 controllers in a dual-redundant pair

are different, and

IF your current Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system

version is V5.0, use the procedure below for Different Product ID’s and

Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.0 for Dual-Redundant Rolling Upgrade

(Section 9.2.1.3).
