Kit contents

The upgrade kit contains:

•Four DIMMs

•Two battery modules

•An array-based management module

•A bezel

•Three labels

Before you begin

IMPORTANT: You must perform the procedures

in the order listed in this document.

Verify that the storage system is operating correctly,

including virtual disks and DR groups.

Observe proper antistatic guidelines.

Inspect the upgrade kit, verify its contents and that it

is the correct kit for your storage system.

Using HP P6000 Command View, verify the controller

cache size and record it. At the end of the installation,

you will use this information as a comparison to verify

that the update was successful.

This upgrade will take 1.5 hours or more. You must

shut down the storage system for part of that time.

The appearance of your hardware components might

differ slightly from those presented in this document.

Replace the management module

The management module is located on the rear of the

chassis, above the controllers.

NOTE: To maintain configuration information,

such as IP address, perform this procedure with

power on.

Removing a management module

1. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the module.

2. Lift the latch on the module and pull the module

out slightly. See Figure 1 (page 2).

3. Position one hand under the module, and with

the other hand, pull the module out of the

controller enclosure.

Figure 1 Removing a management module

Installing a management module

1. Insert the new management module into the slot

until you hear a click indicating that it is fully

seated.

2. Attach the Ethernet cable to the module.

The new management module has HP P6000

Command View 10.1 or later pre-installed.

Upgrade the management and controller

software

1. Upgrade HP P6000 Command View to Version

10.1 or later on all server-based management

arrays.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that you upgrade

to the same version that is installed in the

new management module.

2. Upgrade the controller software to XCS

11001100 or later.

3. Verify the software upgrade before continuing.

For instructions, see the HP P6000 Command View

Installation Guide and the HP P6000 EVA Updating

Product Software Guide.

Shut down the array

Use HP P6000 Command View to perform an orderly

shut down and power off the array to be upgraded.

From HP P6000 Command View:

1. Select System Options.

2. Select Shutdown System.

3. Enter the delay time, and then click Power OFF.

4. Follow the prompts to complete the Power OFF.

NOTE: When the storage system is powered

off, the controller fault and link LEDs at both the

front and rear of the storage system and the

controller power button are all illuminated

amber. Also, the management module link LED

is illuminated and the activity LED flashes.

Remove controller 1

1. If necessary, label the cables that are connected

to the controller. This will facilitate reconnecting

them later.

2. Disconnect the host port and SAS cables from the

controller.

3. Remove the controller:

a. Loosen the mounting latch screw, and then

move the mounting latch to the right. See

Figure 2 (page 3). The controller will slightly

Verifying operation

Do the following to verify the components are

operating properly:

1. At the rear of the chassis, verify that each

controller health LED is lit green. If an LED is not

green, verify that the controller is properly seated

in the enclosure.

2. Verify that the IP address of the previous

management module is retained by browsing to

https://ip_address:2373 and verify that

the HP P6000 Control Panel GUI is accessible.

3. From HP P6000 Command View:

•Navigate to the controller, and verify that the

status is (Good).

•Verify that the cache size has been updated.

•Verify the health status of the original virtual

disks and DR groups.

If you want to use a different IP address, you must

connect the management module to a laptop and set

the address manually.
