Procedure
1. In the Navigator, select Firmware.
2. An Information box will tell you that firmware information needs to be updated and that you need to
press Scan to initiate the update. Click OK.
3. Click Scan to perform a check on the currently installed firmware versions for all components
associated to the selected node. This will populate the firmware tabs. This may take several minutes
to run.
4. You may also select Scan All. If you select Scan All, all of the components, storage, and networking
associated with that cluster will be discovered. If you select Scan All, then you can select Update All
in the next step to update all components in the cluster at the same time. Use Scan if you replaced
one node or component within a node and just want to upgrade that node or component.
NOTE: The scan will fail if a firmware update is in progress.
5. After you have run a scan, components will automatically be flagged for upgrade or downgrade. Look
for components that have a Recommended Action of either Upgrade or Downgrade. These
components will automatically have their check-box selected after the scan.
NOTE:
• When the firmware updates are initiated, the backup devices will be taken offline. Before
performing this step, check that there are no outstanding backup jobs pending.
• The upgrade will fail if failover is enabled. A message will be displayed indicating you should
disable failover either from the Maintenance page or via the CLI system disable failover
command.
If there are only one or two components that need to upgrade or downgrade, click in the appropriate
check box to select them and click Update Selected. If there are many, click Update All. This will
attempt to update all components that are in the state where there is an update recommended; it will
not try to update components that do not need an update.
NOTE: If you selected Scan All in the previous step, you may select Update All to update
components in both nodes and complete the entire upgrade process for all components in the cluster
at the same time. If you selected Scan, the update will be applied ONLY to the particular node in the
cluster that is selected in the top pane.
6. In the Update Selected Components or the Update All Components dialog box, confirm that you
want to continue with the update by clicking Update.
The Status field will show which components are being updated and which updates have been
completed.
7. In some cases, when the firmware update has completed, you will need to perform a reboot to
complete the firmware update. A pop-up message will appear on your GUI screen after updates are
completed if a reboot is required. There are two types of reboot:
• Reboot: If a software reboot is needed, you will see a message asking if you want to reboot your
system now or later.
