Updating the system automatically

You can update the entire system in a coordinated process with no user intervention after the update is initiated.

When the system detects that the hardware is not running at the expected level, the system applies the correct firmware.

If you want to update without host I/O, shut down all hosts before you start the update.

Complete the following steps to update the system automatically:
  1. In the management GUI, select Settings > System > Update System.
  2. Click Update.
  3. Select the test utility and the code package that you downloaded from the support site. The test utility verifies that the system is ready to be updated.
  4. Click Update. As the canisters on the system are updated, the management GUI displays the progress for each canister.

Monitor the update information in the management GUI to determine when the process is complete.

If the process stalls during the update, click Resume to continue with the update or click Cancel to abandon the update and restore the previous level of code. You can also use the CLI command applysoftware -resume to resume the update.
