12.4 System update

The system update process involves updating the entire IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2

environment.

The node canister software and the drive firmware are updated separately, so these tasks are

described in different topics.

12.4.1 Updating node canister software

For information about the latest software and to download the software package, go to the

following website:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1004336

The GUI also shows whether a software update is available and the latest software level when

you navigate to Settings → System → Update System, as shown in Figure 12-30.

Note: Storwize V5000 Gen1 hardware is not supported by IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1

or later. The V7.7.1 and V7.8.1 code streams will continue to be updated with critical fixes

for this hardware.

Important: Certain levels of code support updates only from specific previous levels. If you

update to more than one level above your current level, you might be required to install an

intermediate level. For information about on update compatibility, see this website:
