Update system

Use the Update System panel to install new versions of the code.

Before you start a system update, ensure that there are no problems on the system that might interfere with a successful update of the system. Each software update requires that you run the software update test utility and then download the correct software package.

The software update test utility indicates whether your current system has issues that need to be resolved before you update to the next level. The test utility is run as part of the system update process for software or drive firmware. Contact your support center for the latest version of the test utility and update package.

After the update package is downloaded, use the management GUI to automatically update the system. You can manually update the system; however, the automatic update is the preferred method for updating the system. If you are updating the system from any version to the most recent version, ensure that you follow the guidelines that are available from your support center. System updates can only be completed in a specific order or the update will not be successful.

After you begin the update, the Health Status of the system temporarily goes red, which indicates the system is offline. After the update completes, ensure the Health Status returns to green which indicates the system is online.
