Update the drive firmware on the
PowerStore cluster
Use
PowerStore Manager to update the drive firmware on a
PowerStore cluster.
Prerequisites
As a best practice, always update the drive firmware to the latest available version following a software upgrade. Drive firmware updates do not require a node reboot.
NOTE:Most drive firmware bundles are backwards-compatible with multiple
PowerStoreOS versions. See the detailed description of the drive firmware bundle on Support for more compatibility information. If you attempt to install an incompatible drive firmware bundle, a warning message appears and the installation does not proceed.
Steps
Download the latest drive firmware update package from Support.
The drive firmware update package contains firmware updates for the drives in the
PowerStore cluster. For instructions on downloading
PowerStore upgrade packages, see
Download the PowerStore upgrade packages.
Select the
Settings icon, and then select
Upgrades in the
Cluster section.
In the
Software Packages section, select
More Actions > Upload Package.
NOTE:For clusters with
Support Connectivity and automatic download enabled, new applicable drive firmware packages are automatically downloaded to your system and appear on the
Upgrades page.
Select the drive firmware update package, and select
Open.
The drive firmware update package is uploaded and displayed in the
Software packages table.
NOTE:Do not close or refresh the browser while the drive firmware update package is uploaded to
PowerStore Manager.
Select the drive firmware update package, and select
Upgrade.
Results
To verify the drive firmware version for individual drives in a
PowerStore cluster, go to the
Hardware > Appliances > appliance > Components > Drives page in
PowerStore Manager.
To verify the drive firmware version for all the drives in a
PowerStore cluster, run the service command
svc_diag list --show_drives. For more information, see the
PowerStore Service Scripts Guide.
