HP P6000 Command View can be implemented in two ways: • Server-based management - HP P6000 Command View is installed on a management server connected to the array, providing management of multiple HP EVAs. All components of the software suite (HP P6000 Command View, HP P6000 Performance Data Collector, HP Storage System Scripting Utility, SMI-S EVA) are installed. Server-based management applies to all array models. • Array-based management - Beginning with HP P6000 Command View 8.1, the EVA4400 is shipped with HP P6000 Command View preinstalled on the management module in the controller enclosure (9.4 for P63x0/P65x0 EVA). Only one component of the software suite (HP P6000 Command View) is installed. Array-based management applies only to the EVA4400, P63x0 EVA, and P65x0 EVA. Follow the procedures in this section to upgrade HP P6000 Command View on the management server. If you are using array-based management, see "Upgrading the management module" (page 34) for upgrade instructions. NOTE: Before starting the upgrade, check the release notes for the version to which you are upgrading for any details on the upgrade process. TIP: To help ensure fast recovery from the upgrade, it may be useful to remove a disk from the management server. For supported upgrade paths, see Table 2.1, HP P6000 Command View upgrade support, in the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference. For more information on HP P6000 Command View and to download the HP P6000 Command View Installation Guide and the release notes, go to the website listed in "Reference documentation" (page 6). Upgrading on a management server This procedure is for a typical HP P6000 Command View installation on a management server.
