d. If a later firmware revision is listed, select the link in the Firmware Rev. (Download) column to download
a
archive containing the firmware file.
.zip
e. Extract (unzip) the drive firmware archive files you downloaded from the Support site.
5. Install the drive firmware upgrade:
a. From SANtricity System Manager, under Drive Firmware upgrade, select Begin Upgrade.
b. Select Browse, and select the new drive firmware files that you downloaded from the Support site.
Drive firmware files have a filename similar to
D_HUC101212CSS600_30602291_MS01_2800_0002.dlp.
You can select up to four drive firmware files, one at a time. If more than one drive firmware file is
compatible with the same drive, you get a file conflict error. Decide which drive firmware file you want to
use for the upgrade and remove the other one.
c. Select Next.
Select Drives lists the drives that you can upgrade with the selected firmware files.
Only drives that are compatible appear.
The selected firmware for the drive appears in Proposed Firmware. If you must change this firmware,
select Back.
d. Select Offline (parallel) upgrade.
You can use the offline upgrade method because the appliance is in maintenance mode, where I/O
activity is stopped for all drives and all volumes.
Do not proceed unless you are certain that the appliance is in maintenance mode.
Failure to place the appliance into maintenance mode prior to initiating an offline drive
firmware update might cause data loss.
e. In the first column of the table, select the drive or drives you want to upgrade.
The best practice is to upgrade all drives of the same model to the same firmware revision.
f. Select Start, and confirm that you want to perform the upgrade.
If you need to stop the upgrade, select Stop. Any firmware downloads currently in progress complete.
