Chapter 3: Basic System Operations
Upgrading Firmware
64 StorNext M660 Metadata Appliance Hardware Guide
• Each time the firmware update is done, the secondary node of the
Metadata Appliance is left out of the HA configuration. As a result,
you will need to convert the StorNext M660 to an HA system after
each upgrade in order to regain failover operations. After the HA
conversion, both nodes will reboot, which can take 30 minutes or
longer per node.
• The Storage Manager components will need to be restarted after
the HA conversion is complete by clicking the Start button in the
Storage Manager panel of the Tools > System Control page.
• All upgrades prior to StorNext 5 are downtime upgrades.

1 Download the required firmware file(s) from Quantum CSWeb for
