4.14 Upgrading the System with the Web Monitor

It is easy to upgrade your RamSan using the Web monitor if you have a patch file. Patch files should be formatted “rs500-<version>.patch”.

From the Web monitor, expand the “Management” tab under the “Systems List”. This will expose three sub-options. Highlight “Firmware” – it will display the current RamSan-500 firmware version.
