I want to...

  • Perform pre-upgrade health check
    A health check runs as part of the upgrade process, but you also can run a health check separately before you begin. The health check assesses components of the storage array to make sure that the upgrade can proceed.
  • Upgrade ThinkSystem SAN OS
    Upgrade one or more storage arrays with the latest software and NVSRAM to make sure that you have all the latest features and bug fixes. Controller NVSRAM is a controller file that specifies the default settings for the controllers.
  • Activate staged OS software
    You can choose to activate the software file immediately or wait until a more convenient time. This procedure assumes you chose to activate the software file at a later time.
  • Manage software repository
    The software repository lists all software files associated with the ThinkSystem SAN OS Web Services Proxy. If you do not see the file that you want to use, you can use the Manage Software Repository option to import one or more ThinkSystem SAN OS files to the host system where the Web Services Proxy and SAN Manager are running. You can also choose to delete one or more ThinkSystem SAN OS files that are available in the software repository.
  • Clear staged OS software
    You can remove staged OS software to ensure that a pending version is not inadvertently activated at a later time. Removing the staged OS software does not affect the current version that is running on the storage arrays.
