HP P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA System User Guide 45
With either of the replication configurations shown in the two previous figures, Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN) could be employed to provide separate networks. Whether using a single switch or multiple
switches, you can create a VLAN for I/O and a VLAN for replication to isolate I/O traffic from replication
traffic. Since each switch would employ both VLANs, the configuration would appear physically as a
single network, while logically, it would function as multiple networks.
Although not shown in the preceding cabling examples, you can cable P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA and
P2000 G3 1Gb iSCSI MSA systems together — via switch attach — for performing replication tasks.
Updating firmware
After installing the hardware and powering on the storage system components for the first time, verify that
the controller modules, expansion modules, and disk drives are using the current firmware release. Using
SMU, right-click the system in the Configuration View panel, and select Tools > Update Firmware. The
Update Firmware panel displays the currently installed firmware versions, and enables you to update them.
When upgrading from TS100 or TS201 firmware code versions to TS230, replications in progress will
temporarily halt, and report that the replications have incompatible code versions. Once the partner system
is successfully upgraded, the replications will resume if they have not suspended. If the replications have
suspended, they can be manually resumed. See the “Suspending replication” and “Resuming replication”
