Upgrade from PowerPath 4.0 to 5.1 - Please Share Experience or Tips
Hello All,
Our CLARiiON environment is connected to 29 hosts where 18 are Windows-based hosts (majority are Windows 2003 and all boot from SAN) and 11 ESX 2.5 hosts.
Majority of the Windows-based hosts are connected via QLogic PCI-X HBA (Firmware 1.47) and PowerPath version 4.1.1.
For CLARiiON FLARE Upgrade to the latest update, we're now must upgrade all the PowerPath and QLogic software first.
I have the documentation for PowerPath 5.1 downloaded from Powerlink.
Our first priority is the stability and uptime of the servers.
Can anyone please share their experience or tips-tricks when doing this upgrade, so that we can avoid any problems?
Any critical points that we must consider?
Can a customer with only basic CLARiiON training do this job?
Please share your experience and thoughts.
Many Thanks in Advance.
