If an upgrade is required it will prompt as per image. Select “Login”ħ) You will be presented with all the member SANs in the Group with the current Active firmware. Enter the Group SAN IP (management IP) or hostname with credentials. Select “OK”ĥ) Once installed, launch by selecting “Run”Ħ) Presented with the familiar login page. So in brief below are the steps to implement:ġ) Login to and download DELL Storage Update Manager to your client machineĢ) This is a Java based application that will run on any machine as long as you have Java enabled.Ĥ) You will be prompted to install Java SE 6 Update 31 or later (as of this writing). I would highly recommend going for the 4-hour mission critical support, especially if you are an enterprise customer and have a lot of SAN’s. To DELL’s credit I haven’t had a single problem with applying the firmware on our SAN’s. Might not seem a big thing but anything to do with upgrading your production SAN storage environment made me uncomfortable. Back in the days you were forced to use Putty and GUI which wasn’t bad but you had to check a lot of things like which firmware to apply, make sure the disk firmware was up to date etc….
It’s an excellent way to upgrade the firmware on your DELL Arrays.
DELL Storage Update Manager has been out for a while.
