EMC P/N 300-002-803 manual Upgrading the kernel

Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array

Upgrading the kernel

After successfully completing the installation and rebooting the host, the kernel may be upgraded to a newer kernel revision to take advantage of fixes and features incorporated into the newer kernel errata.

Note: Please refer to the EMC Support Matrix for supported kernel revisions.

EMC recommends installing the kernel packages, rather than upgrading them, so that either kernel version may be used for boot. In addition, if a boot diskette was created during the original installation, an updated copy should be created after the upgrade.
