When using HP Command View EVA versions earlier than 9.2, you must either delete the Vraid0 virtual disks or ungroup the disks individually before upgrading disk drive firmware. Step 7. Entering storage system passwords Estimated time to complete: 10-15 minutes NOTE: • This step is only required if you use password protection on the storage system. • When you add a system password to the controller, you must also enable password access in HP Command View EVA.
