You download the new downloadable package (DLP) software
files from the Lenovo Support Web site to your management client.
The time it takes to upgrade
depends on your storage array configuration and the components that
you are upgrading.
If your storage
array contains only one active controller or you do not have a multipath
driver installed, stop I/O activity to the storage array to prevent
application errors. If your storage array has two active controllers
and you have a multipath driver installed, you do not need to stop
I/O activity.
Enter a valid DE Series controller Machine Type in the Find Your Product field. For example, 7Y70, 7Y71, 7Y74,
7Y75, 7Y76, 7Y77, 7Y78, 7Y79 or 7Y80.
Select Drivers & Software.
Select Product Firmware.
Select the appropriate Controller
Firmware Update Bundle.
Follow the remaining instructions.
The file to download
has a filename similar to lnvgy_fw_storage_11.50.0_anyos_noarch with a .zip or .tar.gz extension.
If you
do NOT want to upgrade the IOM firmware at this time, click Suspend IOM Auto-Synchronization.
If you have a storage array with a
single controller, the IOM firmware is not upgraded.
