• Fixed an issue where a bad block reassign command was being issued to the same volume from both controllers. • When resolving a multiple drive failure in a disk group that contains DR group members and the disk groups volumes are brought offline, a metadata update function may be started incorrectly on the controller that is not the primary controller. Metadata for a disk group can only be updated on the controller that is the primary controller. • On the EVA8000/8100, repeated cache battery failures due to a persistent load testing state were corrected. • Fixed an issue in an HP Continuous Access EVA configuration that caused a copy to become stuck when group mastership was being transferred between controllers on the destination array. • Fixed an issue which resulted in falsely reserved World Wide Name (WWN) values when using the Brocade iSCSI blade for connectivity. • Fixed a controller termination (termination code 0442011F) that occurred while handling SCSI Persistent Reservation commands. • Fixed a controller termination (termination code 0x036c01c8) that occurred due to a difference between cached and written metadata. • Fixed an error (termination code 0442011F) that could occur when writing data to a Vraid5 virtual disk while another disk drive in the Vraid mapping gets an unrecovered data error processing a reconstruction write simultaneously. • Fixed an issue in which a failed host port caused a Unit Stalled Too Long event or CSM reset. Upgrade and downgrade paths For details about supported upgrade paths to XCS 6.240, see Table 3.1, Upgrade support for controller software versions, in the HP Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference. For details about supported downgrade paths from XCS 6.240, see Table 3.2, Downgrade support for controller software versions, in the compatibility reference. For upgrade instructions, see the HP 4x00/6x00/8x00 Enterprise Virtual Array Updating Product Software Guide (XCS 6.240). You can download these documents from the following website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Under storage, click Disk Storage Systems, and then select the applicable array model under EVA Disk Arrays. Upgrading controllers To upgrade from an HSV200-A or HSV210-A controller to an HSV200-B or HSV210-B controller, HP requires that you also upgrade both I/O modules (A and B) to AD623C (I/O Module A) and AD624C (I/O Module B) on each disk enclosure. If you are upgrading to an EVA6100 (HSV200-B) or EVA8100 (HSV210-B) and you do not already have the 30-10022-01 loop switches installed, you must also upgrade the loop switches to 30-10022-01. For more information on the required components for controller model upgrades, see the HP 4100/6100/8100 Enterprise Virtual Array Family QuickSpecs document. For more information on storage system behavior during a firmware upgrade, see the HP 4x00/6x00/8x00 Enterprise Virtual Array Updating Product Software Guide (XCS 6.240). False EMU events reported sometimes after XCS 6.220 upgrade After a controller software upgrade from XCS 6.200 to 6.220, an event (063ec513) could be reported during the first 15 minutes after the upgrade has finished. This event may also be seen following the insertion or removal of a physical disk drive, fiber channel cable or I/O module, or when other Fibre Channel loop events occur that can result in a directed LIP (including a controller restart or resynchronization of one or both controllers). This event is short in duration and does not impact host 4 Upgrade and downgrade paths

Upgrading controllers
To upgrade from an HSV200-A or HSV210-A controller to an HSV200-B or HSV210-B controller, HP
requires that you also upgrade both I/O modules (A and B) to AD623C (I/O Module A) and AD624C
(I/O Module B) on each disk enclosure. If you are upgrading to an EVA6100 (HSV200-B) or EVA8100
(HSV210-B) and you do not already have the 30-10022-01 loop switches installed, you must also
upgrade the loop switches to 30-10022-01. For more information on the required components for

False EMU events reported sometimes after XCS 6.220 upgrade
After a controller software upgrade from XCS 6.200 to 6.220, an event (063ec513) could be reported
during the first 15 minutes after the upgrade has finished. This event may also be seen following the
insertion or removal of a physical disk drive, fiber channel cable or I/O module, or when other Fibre
Channel loop events occur that can result in a directed LIP (including a controller restart or
resynchronization of one or both controllers). This event is short in duration and does not impact host
