Prerequisites

Before updating system firmware, make note of the following:
• When determining which MSA controller firmware version to use, review the requirements and
information in the Compatibility Matrix(es), release notes, and other MSA announcements.
• Because firmware updates require least one restart of the MSA array and its attached storage
enclosures, update system firmware only during a scheduled maintenance window.
• Before updating system firmware, stop all host traffic to the array controller.
• Before updating system firmware, make sure that a recent, known good backup of all data on
the MSA array is available.
• Before updating system firmware, make sure that a copy of the configuration, including the iSCSI
IP addressing and portal information, along with the hard drive, LUN, and target information is
available.
