Software Guide (XCS 10001000)
Abstract
This guide describes how to upgrade controller software, disk drive firmware, and related EVA management software on the
HP 4400/6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Arrays. HP P6300/P6500 EVAs are not included in this document because they are
already running XCS 10001000 and do not need an upgrade. P6000, used throughout this document, is the new branding
for the Enterprise Virtual Array product family. General references to HP P6000 Command View may also refer to earlier
versions of HP Command View EVA.
NOTE:
You can use this document to upgrade to XCS 10000000.
This guide is intended for field personnel and customers who are experienced with these array models, storage area networks,
HP P6000 Command View and associated software. This guide does not provide information about upgrading or replacing
array hardware.
The information in this guide is subject to change. Please check for the latest version before starting an upgrade.
