Dell EMC PowerProtect DP Series Appliance 2.7.7 Upgrade Guide for DP4400 and DP5900
ACM
- Ensure that the upgrade binary
idpa-hw-upgrade_<version>.tar.gz is downloaded from
Dell EMC Support, and copied on the
/data01/upgrade folder in the
ACM.
NOTE: The/data01/upgrade folder must not contain any other post or prepatch packages.NOTE: If you are upgrading both the software as well as the infrastructure components, then you may delete the upgrade binary, which is approximately 50 GB, from the source location after the file is transferred to the ACM. However, if you are upgrading only the software components (from version 2.4.x and 2.5), then you must retain the upgrade binary as you will have to copy the same file again to the ACM for the Infrastructure upgrade.
- Log in to the ACM using SSH. and then run the following command to validate the upgrade package using the SHA256 checksum process: sha256sum <*tar.gz.sha256 file name>
- Ensure that you have executable permission for the downloaded upgrade package. To get the executable permission, run the following command: chmod 644 idpa-hw-upgrade_<version>.tar.gz.
