Upgrading the P9000 or XP Raid Manager Software for Metrocluster with Continuous Access for P9000 and XP
To upgrade the P9000 or XP RAID Manager software online without any disruption in the Metrocluster, complete the instructions included in the HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP User's Guide or HP StorageWorks P9000 RAID Manager User Guide. Metrocluster communicates with P9000 or XP Raid Manager software only when Metrocluster packages are starting up. So, Metrocluster package failover or package movement must be avoided until all the nodes in the Metrocluster are upgraded to the same version of the P900 or XP RAID Manager software.
When using the disk monitoring feature, Metrocluster packages access the RAID Manager instances on the nodes that the packages are running on. So, in such configurations, ensure that all Metrocluster packages are moved to a different node prior to updating the P9000 or XP RAID Manager software.
Upgrading the Solutions Enabler Software for Metrocluster with EMC SRDF
To upgrade the Solutions Enabler software online without any disruption in the Metrocluster, complete the instructions included in the EMC documentation for SRDF Solutions Enabler. Metrocluster communicates with Solutions Enabler software only when the Metrocluster packages are starting up. So, Metrocluster package failover or package movement must be avoided until all nodes in the Metrocluster are upgraded to the same version of the Solutions Enabler software.
