• Support for an online controller software upgrade to XCS 09534000 for arrays connected to Solaris x86 and SPARC hosts is added. • A correction was made so that the combination of a mirrorclone and a controller software upgrade does not cause the controller to hang. • Improvements were made to the I/O module firmware upgrade process to ensure port status is reported consistently on both controllers. • Corrected a timing issue so that when a disk drive had a firmware upgrade and a cache inconsistency occur simultaneously, the cache inconsistency is fixed and then the firmware upgrade occurs. • After a controller software upgrade, a resynchronization for an Error Detection Code (EDC) invalid condition was falsely logged as a termination (termination code 0x0478393f). The controller software was changed so the resynchronization does not occur for an EDC invalid condition. For information about issues fixed in previous 095xxxxx releases, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array release notes (XCS 09522000), which are available at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Select Disk Storage Systems under storage, and then select either HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array or HP StorageWorks 600/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array under EVA Disk Arrays.

Upgrade and downgrade paths For details about supported upgrade paths to XCS 09534000, see Table 3.1, Upgrade support for controller software versions, in the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference. For supported downgrade paths from XCS 09534000, see Table 3.2, Downgrade support for controller software versions in the compatibility reference. For upgrade instructions, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Updating Product Software Guide (XCS 09534000). You can download these documents from the following website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Under Storage, click Disk Storage Systems, and then select HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array or HP StorageWorks 6400/8400 Enterprise Virtual Array under EVA Disk Arrays. NOTE: A full restart of both controllers is required only one time after HP Command View EVA and the management module software is installed on the management module of the EVA4400. This is applicable when upgrading to XCS 09006000 or later. Subsequent upgrades of controller software or management module software, or upgrading HP Command View EVA on the management module do not require another full restart. 10

•
Support for an online controller software upgrade to XCS 09534000 for arrays connected to
Solaris x86 and SPARC hosts is added.
•
A correction was made so that the combination of a mirrorclone and a controller software upgrade
does not cause the controller to hang.
•
Improvements were made to the I/O module firmware upgrade process to ensure port status is
reported consistently on both controllers.
•
Corrected a timing issue so that when a disk drive had a firmware upgrade and a cache incon-
sistency occur simultaneously, the cache inconsistency is fixed and then the firmware upgrade
occurs.
•
After a controller software upgrade, a resynchronization for an Error Detection Code (EDC) invalid
condition was falsely logged as a termination (termination code
0x0478393f
). The controller
software was changed so the resynchronization does not occur for an EDC invalid condition.
