XCS 11200000 upgrade considerations Before upgrading to XCS 11200000, consider the following: • Check that the Device Addition Policy is set to manual. If it is - HP P6300 | HP P6000 EVA Updating Product Software Guide (XCS 11200000) (5697-248 - Page 22
the controller software upgrade is complete (including upgrading the firmware on the disk enclosure I/O modules), it may take up to 20 minutes to stabilize device port operations. (The I/O module firmware upgrades are performed sequentially to ensure that host I/O continues during the upgrade.)
