•Host for which you want to retrieve cluster information (i.e., Veritas Cluster Server on Solaris cluster and Microsoft Cluster Server). (This is new functionality that requires version 6.0 of the CIM extension.)

•Linux hosts that support QLogic failover. (This is new functionality that requires version 6.0 of the CIM extension.)

Step 15 - Rediscover All Elements

You should rediscover all elements after you do an upgrade by doing HP SIM Discoveryand Discovery Data Collection. Doing HP SIM Discoveryand Discovery Data Collection is important because:

•Better scalability is provided after discovery.

•Cluster functionality. To use the new functionality, upgrade CIM Extensions to version 6.0. Rediscovery is required.

•You will see the following issues until you do HP SIM DiscoveryandDiscovery Data Collection:

•Reports and Capacity Manager/Capacity Explorer show incorrect raw capacity data for storage systems.

•There is no trunked status indication on Brocade fabrics.

•No NPIV status indication.

•No provisioning for 3PAR storage systems and HP StorageWorks EVA arrays using Command View EVA 5.03, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, or 7.x.

•New hosts modes on storage systems are not available.

•Backdata collection would be suspended until CIM extensions on Backup Manager Hosts are upgraded to version 6.0 and they are rediscovered.

Steps that Can Be Run Anytime after the Upgrade

The following steps can be completed anytime after the upgrade; however, you will have reduced functionality with the product until you complete these steps.

Re - Add Remote Sites in Global Reporters

After the upgrade, add remote sites in Global Reporters. This topic is covered in more detail in this guide, in the chapter, Installing the Management Server on Microsoft Windows.

IMPORTANT: After upgrade, all remote sites in the Global Reporters are removed. This is done so you can have a chance to upgrade the remote sites to the same build before Global Reporter attempts to gather data. Before you re-add the remote sites, be sure to upgrade them to the same build as the management server.

Migrate Your Brocade Switches to SMI-A

The latest build of the software requires you to migrate your Brocade switches to SMI-A. Until you migrate your Brocade switches to SMI-A, data such as topology and zoning from the Brocade
