To facilitate upgrades,
PowerFlex Manager uses information that is provided in the compatibility matrix file to determine which upgrade paths are valid and which are not.
About this task
When you attempt an upgrade,
PowerFlex Manager warns you if the current version of the software is incompatible with the target version, or if any of the RCM or IC versions that are currently loaded are incompatible with the target compliance versions. To determine which paths are valid and which are not,
PowerFlex Manager uses information that is provided in the compatibility matrix file. The compatibility matrix file maps all the known valid and invalid paths for all previous releases of the software.
When you first install
PowerFlex Manager, the software does not have the compatibility matrix file, so you must upload the file before performing any updates. You must upload the latest compatibility matrix file to ensure that
PowerFlex Manager has access to the latest upgrade information.
You can download the file from
SupportAssist or upload it from a local directory path. The file has a GPG extension and an associated compatibility version number.
Prerequisites
If you are uploading from a local directory path, ensure that you have access to a valid compatibility matrix file that has the GPG extension. If you are using
SupportAssist, ensure that
SupportAssist has been properly configured.
