Downloading EMM Firmware

NOTICE: Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while you are downloading the EMM firmware. Doing so could cause the firmware download to fail, damage the storage array, or cause loss of data accessibility.

NOTE: Due to a limitation with Linux, EMM firmware updates must be performed using out-of-band management only. Failure to do so may result in the host server becoming unresponsive, and it may require a reboot.

1Click the Support tab, then click Download firmware.

2From the Download firmware display, click Download Environmental (EMM) Card Firmware.

A list of expansion enclosures appears with the corresponding version of the current EMM firmware file.

3Select where to download the EMM firmware by clicking an individual expansion enclosure to highlight it or by clicking the Select All checkbox to highlight all the expansion trays.

4Click Select File to locate the directory in which the EMM firmware file to download resides. Select the file to download by double-clicking the file, and then click Start to start the download.

The Start button is disabled until you select a firmware file. If you click Stop while a firmware download is in progress, the download completes before the operation stops. When the status field for the remaining expansion enclosures changes to Canceled, restart the firmware upgrade process.
