5 Upgrading the storage system

The HP StoreEasy 5000 Storage is comprised of a common hardware platform containing two

server blades. Each server runs Windows Storage Server 2012.

When HP determines that it is desirable to upgrade one or more of these components, a notification

is posted to the HP support website for the HP StoreEasy 5000 Storage with the release notes and

the updated code. HP recommends that you upgrade the storage system software as part of normal

system maintenance for increased reliability and a better customer experience. Upgrades might

also be necessary when replacing a server blade or other component.

Maintaining your storage system

HP recommends the following maintenance guidelines for upgrading your system components

(operating system, software, firmware, and drivers), depending on your environment:

• If your storage system is working properly, you are not required to install any updates.

• If security updates are important for your operating environment, you can:

Use Microsoft Windows Update to download updates.◦

◦ Use Windows Update Server to update the server blades in the storage system.

◦ Download and install specific security updates as needed from the Microsoft Security

TechCenter website:

http://technet.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx

• If your maintenance policy is to only update servers to the most current and tested versions of

the system components, you can install the latest HP service release. To find the latest service

release, go to http://www.hp.com/go/support and search for your specific product. You

can also register your product on the HP support and drivers page to receive notification of

new service releases for your product. See “Subscription service” (page 143) for more

information.

NOTE: When installing a service release on the HP StoreEasy 5000 Storage system, do not

select and install any component from a ProLiant Support Pack (PSP). The service release image

contains the necessary files for your storage system.

• If your maintenance policy allows you to update servers to the most current versions of the

system components for which HP has not completed testing and bundled as a service release,

go to http://www.hp.com. Search for your specific product or the underlying server platform

(for example, BL460 G7) to find specific updates.

• HP recommends updating the operating system, software, firmware, and NIC drivers

simultaneously (in the same update window) to ensure proper operation of the storage system.

Determining the current storage system software version

You can find the version using the HP StoreEasy tools or the registry.

From the HP StoreEasy tools:

1. Open the HP StoreEasy tools (either from the desktop folder or from the Tools menu in Windows

Server Manager).

2. Select Manage Storage Pools.
