Advice from the HP LeftHand/P4000 Support Experts 
The HP LeftHand/P4000 Support Team has the following recommendations for all HP LeftHand/P4000 SAN owners. 
Always check firmware, BIOS, and driver versions 
HP LeftHand/P4000 Technical Support strongly recommends that before putting newly installed Storage Modules into 
production, and after adding applicable replacement parts, ALWAYS CHECK THE VERSIONS OF FIRMWARE, BIOS, 
DRIVERS, ETC., and compare them to the P4000 requirements.  There are many preventative fixes in proper firmware 
which can prevent erroneous hard drive failures, for example, and other improvements that can improve data 
availability.  As necessary, follow the upgrade instructions provided.     
For documented details register for SPOCK access at:  
http://www.hp.com/storage/spock   
You can then access the document from the SPOCK home page under “Other Hardware” along the left side of the 
page, then “iSCSI / FCIP / DM (HP & Lefthand)” 
Note that on the SPOCK page, there is one firmware matrix for the P4900, P4300 & P4500 products, one for the 
P4800 product, and a separate matrix for the other HP LeftHand/P4000 products. 
Install HP Insight Remote Support 
HP LeftHand/P4000 Technical Support strongly recommends that you install Insight Remote Support as a means of 
gathering logs from the SAN, receiving automated health status messages from the SAN, and auto-generating 
Support tickets when issues are encountered. 
NOTE: 
With SAN/iQ version 9.0 and above, you are fully compatible with Insight Remote Support. 
For SAN/iQ version 8.5, you must first install patch 10076 to be compatible with Insight Remote Support. 
For SAN/iQ version 8.1 and below, you are not compatible with Insight Remote Support.  We strongly recommend 
that you upgrade to a compatible version of SAN/iQ.
