Capturing controller parameters
To capture all existing controller parameters, such as the network address, before the upgrade, save the existing controller logs to your
management PC. You can do this by using the FTP utility and running the get logs command. The data contained in these logs will
prove helpful in the event of a support issue after the upgrade. This step could take three to five minutes to complete.
1. In the SMU, prepare to use FTP. Determine the network-
2. Verify that
3. Verify that the HPE MSA storage system login account has the correct permissions to use the FTP interface.
4. Open a command prompt (Windows®) or a terminal window (UNIX®) and navigate to the destination directory for the log file.
5. Enter the FTP controller-network-address (for example: FTP 10.1.0.9).
6. Log in as an FTP user.
7. Enter the following command:
get logs filename.zip
Note
HPE recommends the filename to be in the format yyyymmdd_ftp_system-name_controller-ID. For example:
get logs 20151024_ftp_Storage2_A.zip
Record the filename and path for future reference.
8. Wait for the Transfer complete message to appear.
