Dell PowerStore X model Software Upgrade Guide

PDF

Upgrade the PowerStoreOS on the cluster (PowerStoreOS 2.0.x or later)

Use PowerStore Manager to upgrade the PowerStoreOS.

Prerequisites

Perform a final Pre-Upgrade Health Check before upgrading the PowerStoreOS on the PowerStore X model cluster.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from PowerStoreOS 2.1.x to a later version of the PowerStoreOS, ensure that the Upgrade Extensions Health Check has been run within one hour of performing the upgrade.

About this task

Perform the following steps to upgrade the PowerStoreOS on the appliances of the cluster:

Steps

  1. Select the Settings icon, and then select Upgrades in the Cluster section.
  2. Select the PowerStoreOS upgrade package in the Software packages table, and select Upgrade.
    NOTE: The PowerStoreOS upgrade package is displayed as a Software Release package in the Software packages table.
    The PowerStoreOS upgrade takes approximately one hour to complete.
  3. After you are returned to the login screen, close the browser session and open a new session before logging in again to refresh the UI.
    NOTE: Following the upgrade, if you do not open a new browser session before logging in again, PowerStore Manager will still display the UI for the previous PowerStoreOS version, and new features will not be available.

Results

The PowerStore X model cluster temporarily stops recording performance metrics when the primary node on the primary appliance reboots during the ESXi update. When the primary node on the primary appliance reboots, the primary node fails over to the secondary node and you are disconnected from PowerStore Manager. You can log back in to PowerStore Manager after the failover process is complete.

Next steps

Use the vSphere Client to manually rebalance the VMs in vCenter or allow VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to automatically rebalance the VMs .

When a new version of the PowerStoreOS is installed, the column layout settings in PowerStore Manager tables reset to their default layout. Changes to the column layout settings in PowerStore Manager do not persist when the PowerStoreOS is upgraded.
