SANbox SSP System Software

SANbox SSP has two system software components that can be updated:

■System software image: The system software image contains the operating environment for SANbox SSP, including the StoreAge SVM Agent for SANbox SSP.

■Maintenance Mode image: The Maintenance Mode image contains software that implements basic system maintenance functions for the platform, including system update capability.

Each release of the SANbox SSP system software includes the system software image file used to update the SANbox SSP. Maintenance Mode functionality, however, rarely changes. The release notes for each system software release indicate whether a new Maintenance Mode image is included, and whether installation of the new Maintenance Mode image is required to update the system.

The system update capability provided by SANbox SSP also supports the incremental update of an existing system image by applying a patch file supplied by QLogic. This system patching capability allows QLogic to distribute critical system updates between full releases of the system software.
