HP StoreVirtual support team recommends that all customers running an earlier version of HP StoreVirtual Storage software upgrade to HP StoreVirtual Storage Version 11.5, which is the latest stable version with lot of enhancements. One of the key enhancement which I liked is the option to add proxy authentication.
The option to add proxy details were introduced in CMC version 10.5, but that doesn't had an option to include authentication details. That was a major issue while performing an online upgrade on StoreVirtual nodes .If the proxy uses authentication mechanism for internet connectivity, the download will fail due to authentication failure and we have to download the upgrade files manually and perform the upgrade.
With the release of LeftHand OS Version 11.5, HP has introduced an option to include authentication details while adding proxy configuration.
