If the PowerVault 530F is part of a redundant pair, run the dumpall.exe utility
again, specifying the failover node.
Compare the two text files generated by the dumpall.exe utility for both
PowerVault530F nodes. In the logical unit number (LUN) section, compare the
LUN numbering and the Max Block Size parameters for each LUN to confirm that
the configuration information for the two nodes is identical.
Access the SAN Appliance Menu from an attached keyboard/video/mouse or from
a virtual network computing (VNC) remote control client.
See the Dell PowerVault 530F System Administrator's Guide for information about
setting up a VNC remote control client.
Record the version number displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
From the main menu, click System Settings—>Network Properties, and record
the Computer Name.
Click the Protocols tab, and then click Properties.
Record the Internet protocol (IP) address and subnet mask for both adapters
listed in the Adapters dialog box. (Click the down arrow on the right end of the
Adapters box to select the Gigabit Ethernet adapter.)
If you have PowerVault 650F storage systems attached to the PowerVault 530F,
click Applications—>Data Agent, and record the information displayed in the
Privileged Users section.
From the system used to manage the PowerVault 530F, open the directory that you
extracted the dumpall.exe utility and other files to in step 1.
Follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to install the backup utility patch.
