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 EVA arrays. All components of
the software suite (HP P6000 Command View, HP Command View EVAPerf, 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 P6300/P6500 EVA). Only one component of the software suite
(HP P6000 Command View) is installed. Array-based management applies only to the
EVA4400, P6300 EVA, and P6500 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
33) 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.
