Use the procedure in this section to update
a Dell FS8600 FluidFS cluster from FluidFS version 4.0 to 5.0.
Prerequisites
Update to Enterprise Manager 2015 R3 or later. Dell
recommends using the latest Enterprise Manager version. For more information
about updating Enterprise Manager, see the
Dell
Enterprise Manager Release Notes
.
The Storage Center OS must be at version 6.5.10 or
later before you begin the update procedure. For more information
about updating the Storage Center OS, see the
Storage
Center Software Update Guide
.
Some FluidFS version 4.0 maintenance releases cannot
be updated directly to FluidFS version 5.0. Make sure the FluidFS
cluster is at a version that can be updated to FluidFS version 5.0.
When a service pack is installed, the NAS controllers
reboot during the installation process. Rebooting might cause interruptions
in SMB and NFS client connections. Therefore, Dell recommends installing
service packs during a maintenance window.
Contact Dell Technical Support to obtain the latest
FluidFS version 5.0 service pack. Do not modify the file name of the
service pack.
Download and Install
the Service Pack
Download the service pack using one of the following
methods:
Make sure that EM and SCOS are both running supported
versions, and then contact Dell Technical Support to enable the upgrade
rule in SupportAssist for your FS8600 cluster. After the rule is enabled,
use Enterprise Manager to automatically download the service pack
from SupportAssist. Right-click the cluster name, then select
Actions >
Check for Upgrade.
Request an FTP link from Dell Technical Support, manually
download the service pack, and use FTP to upload the service pack
to the FS8600 cluster.
NOTE: When you
upload a FluidFS ISO file to the FTP folder, it will disappear from
the FTP folder after a few minutes. The file is being extracted and
moved to a different location prior to applying the update.
Install the FluidFS version 5.0 service pack.
CAUTION: The
installation process for the service pack cannot be reversed. After
the service pack is installed, the system cannot revert to the previous
version.
After the service pack is uploaded to the system,
it is displayed in Enterprise Manager as available, but not installed.
Right-click the service pack to install it.
