Note:
* In general, use the latest release within the upgrade version as installation issues might have been resolved.
- Before enabling replication on DD1, an additional Ethernet card must be installed on the server. Enabling replication is recommended before upgrading to 3.1.
- RAS can not be configured on DD3 in 2.5 or 3.1. Either configure on 2.4 before upgrading it to a higher version or upgrade to 3.1.8 or higher, and then configure RAS.
- It is recommended to create repository under 2.4.
- Red Hat OS must be upgraded to v5u4.
- Qualified Emulex HBA cards must be provided as per Support Matrix.
- DD1 with only 4 ethernet ports will fail to upgrade using v3.1.0.X. Use v3.1.1.X or above instead.
- Use the ptconfig (not "menu" but manual ptconfig) option -oldclusterkit when using the old cluster kit on 3.1 and newer versions (FC 3447).
- RAS must be configured on 2.3 before upgrading to 2.4.
- Red Hat OS must be upgraded to v5u6.
- The "3.1.8" column in the above tables represents all codes from 3.1.8 and higher (3.1G versions), which is lower than 3.2.
- OST isn't supported on DD3, only VTL.
- Upgrading a DD1 machine to 3.2 code is supported only when an additional Ethernet card is installed on the server (with 2 extra ethernet ports).
