HP Server Automation 9.11 Released, Installed and Tested !!!

Just today on Jan 17th, 2012, HP released patch for HP Server Automation - 9.11,  this is the minor patch version is HPSA 9.10. [The HPSA MPQ Patch 9.10.02 patch release on Nov 2ed, 2011. Within an quater, HP released this patch , which is way early on their patching cycle. :)]

As usual, for me, it always extreme happy to play, install and test the newly release patch version.

And again this time, I might be first person to play, install and test the HPSA 9.11 :) Today started to play with it in my VMs.

My HPSA VMs Configuration Details:
- 2 Oracle VMs:
RAM : 10GB
Hard Disk : 100GB
Oracle Version : Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0) Standard Edition
OS : RHEL 5 (64Bit)

-2 HPSA Core VMs:
RAM : 10GB
Hard Disk : 100GB
OS : RHEL 5 (64Bit)


* Upgrade of a standalone HPSA 9.10.02 core's [with local db] to 9.11, is very simple and easy. The patch install smooth without any issue as normal.

* Upgrade of a standalone HPSA 9.10.02 core's [with remote db] to 9.11, is also went well.

* Upgrade of single silce [and remote DB] HPSA 9.10.02 to 9.11 core also went well.

* Upgrade of 2 slices [and remote DB] HPSA 9.10.02 to 9.11 core also went well.

* Upgrade of Upgrade of 2 slices [and remote DB] HPSA 9.10.02 to 9.11 core also went well.

* Upgrade of a standalone HPSA 9.10 major version core's [with local db] to 9.11 got some issues but after the proper responds file ... it went well too.


After patch Upgrade, I tested a few HPSA functions, it worked as expected. :) Nothing much to complaint or log a case with HP Support.

There almost 100 important/major bugs that are fixed in the HPSA 9.11 version. I will post another blog with all the details and new findings.


I also patched HPSA 9.11 on a multiple cores and in a multi-master mesh about 10 times. No failures faced.

If you have questions on this HPSA 9.11 release or installation issues, please feel free to contact me. Good Luck.
