If your configuration has DMP configured, then it is recommended to reduce the number of paths to each array to one, before you begin the upgrade. For more information about the hardware and software prerequisites for DMP DSM installation, refer to Symantec Dynamic Multi-Pathing for Windows Installation and Upgrade Guide. If you do not have DMP DSMs in your existing environment, but plan to add this feature during the upgrade, add the HBA(host bus adapter) hardware before performing the upgrade. Connect no more than one path from the new HBA to the storage array before the upgrade and DMP DSMs installation. Select the DMP DSM option or the appropriate DMP DSMs while running the installer. |
