Results
The node firmware updates are not applied to the
PowerStore X model cluster until the nodes of the cluster are rebooted. However, the nodes do not automatically reboot after a firmware update package is installed. The nodes of the cluster are rebooted when ESXi updates are installed on the internal ESXi hosts, as described in
Update the internal ESXi hosts on the cluster (PowerStoreOS 1.0.x to 2.0.x). If ESXi updates are not installed, you must reboot the ESXi hosts on the nodes of the cluster during the
PowerStoreOS upgrade, as described in
Upgrade the PowerStoreOS on the cluster (PowerStoreOS 1.0.x to 2.0.x).
