Let’s have a quick look at the HD we updated in the GUI. Note: This disk’s firmware update will not stop or disrupt any of the storage and volumes. The array will automatically pick up the file that you uploaded to the root.Īs we can see, update find 16 HD that can be updated, so click “Y” and continue to confirm the update. We can use FTP to the array, upload the files, or use a WinSCP tool (my preferred option) and upload them to the Array root.Īfter your files are in the Array, connect to the Array console(if you did not use FTP to upload the files) and just run the command ” update”. # xxx-xxx-grp0(member_xxx-xxx-02)> disk select 2Īfter we double-check everything, we can now upload our HD firmware file to the Array to run the update. ![]() # xxx-xxx-grp0(member_xxx-xxx-02 disk_1)> showĪs we can see in the image GUI above, we have different HD models, so double-check all your disks in the document. # xxx-xxx-grp0(member_xxx-xxx-02)> disk select 1 So connect through an IP address assigned to a network interface on the array (for example, Ethernet port 0).

Since this disk’s firmware needs at least Array firmware 6.x version and we are running 7.x, I decided to update the disk first, then update the Arrays firmware to 8x. This article, Dell EqualLogic PS6000 – How to upgrade Array firmware and Hard Disk, discusses how to update the firmware(Arrays and disks) of a Dell EqualLogic PS6000.
