> show system alarms

alarm1 System booting (100% complete)

alarm2 Data plane disabled

alarm3 Scheduler paused

> show system alarms

All alarms should be cleared and no alarms should display after the firmware upgrade process

and system booting is complete.

Note that the show system alarms command might display an alarm indicating the PCIe cable is

not connected to the host server. This is an acceptable condition if the host server or VMA SAN

gateway the array is connected to is powered off. If there are any other alarms, these should be

addressed and cleared before proceeding to use the array.

1. After approximately 20 to 30 minutes, use the host CLI show system alarms command

and the show system status command to verify the array firmware upgrade is complete

and the VMA Array is in a ready state.

If you are upgrading an HP VMA Array from a single x8 to a dual x4 connectivity mode

version of array firmware and you have not yet connected the secondary PCIe cable to a

redundant gateway, you will see an alarm stating that PCIe port #2 is not connected. This

will be cleared after port #2 of the array is connected to a redundant gateway.

2. The next step is to log out of the serial command line console (PuTTY window). To log out,

press exit.

The upgrade process is complete and the VMA Array can be made available for use.

The VMA Array has been successfully upgraded. Update the records for the VMA Array with the

new version and mode of array firmware installed.
