4 Downgrading the Enterprise Virtual Array
Due to metadata changes in XCS 6.200, it will be necessary to reinitialize the storage system and
restore all data after downgrading. Before proceeding with a downgrade, you must contact HP
Services to determine if a downgrade is allowed in your configuration and, if so, to schedule the
procedure. However, downgrading from XCS 6.220 to XCS 6.200, does not require reinitializing
the storage system.
IMPORTANT:
If you are using a "-B" controller, you cannot downgrade to any version earlier than XCS 6.110. The
HSV200-B and HSV210-B controllers require a minimum version of XCS 6.110.
