Completing the upgrade
To complete the procedure of upgrading by moving volumes, you need to configure the Service Processor
(SP), install new licenses, and set up AutoSupport. You might also need to set up Storage Encryption and
configure the FC or NCA ports.
Step 1. Configure the SP on the new controllers as needed by using the ssyysstteemm sseerrvviiccee--pprroocceessssoorr
nneettwwoorrkk mmooddiiffyy command.
Step 2. Install new licenses on the new controllers as needed by using the ssyysstteemm lliicceennssee aadddd command.
Step 3. Set up AutoSupport on the new controllers by using the ssyysstteemm nnooddee aauuttoossuuppppoorrtt mmooddiiffyy
command.
Step 4. From each new controller, send a post-upgrade AutoSupport message to technical support:
system node autosupport invoke -node node_name -type all -message "node_name successfully
upgraded from platform_old to platform_new"
Step 5. If the new controllers have Storage Encryption enabled, launch the key management setup wizard
to configure Storage Encryption by using the sseeccuurriittyy kkeeyy--mmaannaaggeerr sseettuupp command.

Step 6. If the new controllers have FC ports (onboard or on FC adapters), onboard CNA ports, or a CNA
card, configure the FC or CNA ports, enter the following command from the storage system
prompt: system node hardware unified-connect modify -node node-name -adapter adapter-name
-mode {fc|cna} -type {target|initiator}

CNA configuration only when the CNA adapters are offline.
Step 7. Set up a switchless cluster on the new controllers if necessary.
