Dell PowerStore X model Software Upgrade Guide

PDF

Install the node firmware update package on the cluster (PowerStoreOS 1.0.x to 2.0.x)

Use PowerStore Manager to install the node firmware update package on the PowerStore X model cluster.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that the node firmware update package has been uploaded to PowerStore Manager.
  • Ensure that a Pre-Upgrade Health Check has been performed at least seven days before installing the node firmware package on the PowerStore X model cluster.

About this task

Perform the following steps to install the node firmware update package on the PowerStore X model cluster:

Steps

  1. Select the Settings icon, and then select Upgrades in the Cluster section.
  2. Select the node firmware update package in the Software packages table, and select Upgrade.
    NOTE: The node firmware update package is displayed as a Hotfix package in the Software packages table.
    The installation of the node firmware update package takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

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).

Next steps

If ESXi updates are available or required, go to Update the internal ESXi hosts on the cluster (PowerStoreOS 1.0.x to 2.0.x).

If ESXi updates are not available, go to Upgrade the PowerStoreOS on the cluster (PowerStoreOS 1.0.x to 2.0.x).
