When a previous version level of the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Manager has been installed, you can save the setting data and have the current version of ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Manager inherit the saved data.


4.2.5.1 Upgrading from a previous version level

This section explains how to upgrade from a previous version level of the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser.

Note

  • Before migration, refer to "Chapter 3 Restrictions and advisory notes " for confirmation.

  • From ETENRUS SF Storage Cruiser 14.2, the snmptrapd that is included in the OS standard net-snmp package is used for fault monitoring. Therefore, this product does not require the ServerView trap distributor program(SMAWtrpsv) that was used for the ServerView AlarmService.

    If no products that require the ServerView trap distributor program(SMAWtrpsv) are installed, delete it because it is not needed.

    The following products do require the ServerView trap transfer program:

    • All versions of Systemwalker Centric Manager

    • ServerView Resource Coordinator VE V2.1.1 to V2.1.3

  • When a version of 14.1 or earlier of ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Manager is uninstalled from environments in which the following product is installed, FJSVswstt will be uninstalled. After ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Manager has been uninstalled, refer to the manual of the following product, and reinstall SystemWalker MpWksttr.

    • ServerView Resource Coordinator VE 2.1.1 to 2.1.3
