Hi Craig,   You are very welcome.   You definitely need to upgrade the HIT/ME software.  HIT v4.5 wasn't certified for W2K12.    You might want to consider taking a maint window and shutdown Hyper-V,  to go from v6 to v8.  You'll need to do the upgrade in two steps.  First to 7.1.8 then to 8.0.5.   Restarting the array each time.   Regards,   Don 
We have a Dell EqualLogic PS6100XV storage array currently running firmware version 6.0.11. Windows hosts are running HIT v4.5 and we are using SAN HQ v2.5 on a VM.  My plan is the following:  1) Upgrade SAN HQ to 3.1.0 2) Upgrade HIT on hosts to 4.8 3) Upgrade firmware on the SAN to 8.0.4 Is there any issue with going from our current versions to the latest?
