Upgrading the System Software
To upgrade the software on the Memory Array, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the upgrade image to a location on a host that is accessible to the
Memory Array target system using FTP, HTTP, NFS, SCP, SFTP, or TFTP.
2. Set the upgrade path to the above location. The upgrade image will
download to the upgrade partition of the Memory Array.
3. Set the upgrade partition to activate upon bootup.
4. Schedule the system reboot.
5. Reboot the host server.
6. Update the system software factory image.
Note:
• If you are upgrading from a previous release to the most current
release, see the user documentation associated with the previous
release for detailed upgrade instructions.
• If you are upgrading from a release prior to R2.2.0, before rebooting,
you must use the following command to make the upgrade partition
active upon reboot:
set system sw-upgrade active upgrade
The file name of the upgrade image is different depending on the PCIe interface
you are using to connect to the Memory Array. The table below lists the image
names.
Where <release> indicates the release number; for example, A3.7.2-18919.
