Verifying the environment for
upgrade
Upgrading Storage Area Manager includes several preinstallation steps. The
procedures in this chapter should be completed before continuing with the
upgrade procedure. The topics covered in this chapter include:
■Preparing for upgrade, page 22
■Verifying management server and management client requirements, page 23
■Verifying host requirements, page 24
■Verifying hp OpenView storage optimizer requirements, page 25
■Verifying hp OpenView storage allocater requirements, page 26

21Storage Area Manager Upgrade Guide
Verifying the environment for upgrade
Preparing for upgrade
Preparing to upgrade Storage Area Manager requires three tasks:
1. Verify that the management server and any management clients meet or
exceed minimum system requirements and have the required software
products installed.
2. Verify that each host meets or exceeds minimum system requirements and has
certain features enabled that allow deployment of the Host Agent software.
3. Verify that the additional host and device requirements for Storage Optimizer
and Storage Allocater are met (required only for Storage Optimizer and
Storage Allocater installations).
22Storage Area Manager Upgrade Guide
Verifying the environment for upgrade
Verifying management server and management client
requirements
This guide assumes that Storage Area Manager 3.1 is installed and that the
management server and management clients meet or exceed all of the minimum
system and patch requirements. See the hp OpenView storage area manager installation guide for more information about the requirements.
If you intend to view and operate Storage Area Manager from a management
client, verify that the intended host meets the minimum system requirements for a
management client.
Note: Patches to support the JRE software are required on HP-UX and Solaris
management clients. For a list of required patches, see “SAN host patch requirements”
in the
hp OpenView storage area manager installation guide
.

Verifying the environment for upgrade
Verifying host requirements
This guide assumes that Storage Area Manager 3.1 is installed and that the hosts
meet or exceed all of the minimum system and patch requirements.
Tabl e 3 identifies only the SAN host requirements that are new or have changed.
See the hp OpenView storage area manager installation guide for disk
requirements and verification procedures for other SAN hosts.

In addition to the hardware system requirements, Storage Area Manager requires
certain features to be enabled for each host platform, thus allowing installation of
the Host Agent software.
Obtain the following information for each SAN host. You will need this
information during installation in order to deploy the Host Agent software to each
SAN host.
■Hostname
■User name (root, administrator, or superuser)
■Password
Note: The user name must have administrator privileges on Windows hosts, and
superuser privileges on Unix hosts.
For Windows-based SAN hosts, the password may not include special characters such
as ampersands (&), commas (,), semicolons (;), vertical bars (|); carets (^), or
parentheses.
For HP-UX and Solaris hosts, the hostname may not exceed eight characters.
