Check for update
The check can be performed from either Unisphere or DSM. When checking for updates the Storage Center reaches out to the Automated System check server (AU server) and confirms there is a valid version. When selecting the upgrade, a set of automated upgrade checks are performed. If the checks are successful it will prompt the customer to download/install from the released SCOS version allowing customers to update without support's required assistance.   These automated checks completely replace the need for support to perform a pre-upgrade check.
 
To check for updates within Unisphere
 
 
 
To check for updates within the Dell Storage Manager Client
 
 

If the checks are successful, the Storage Center will allow for the update to proceed.
If the checks fail, the Storage Center will prevent the system from updating with a detailed explanation of what must be resolved prior to updating. In this instance, contact Dell Support for assistance.
