UPDATING SOFTWARE
Software updates can also be done using the Command-Line Interface (CLI). For details, see
Quick Start Tasks: Software Update in the ION Accelerator Appliance CLI Reference Guide.
When a new version of the ION Accelerator software becomes available, you can install it using
the software update package (without using the ISO image on the installation DVD). Refer to the
current ION Accelerator Appliance Release Notes on the
Fusion-io Support site for any specific
update restrictions or special instructions.
If you are updating the software for all nodes in an HA cluster, a rolling update is automatically
done. When one node is being updated, its HA complement node goes into failback mode until
the update finishes. This process continues until all nodes in the cluster are updated.
Do not make changes to HA configuration when the system is in a degraded state, such as
when one node is down.
To update the software (firmware) on the appliance,
1. Visit the Fusion-io Support website for the latest software update package (.IOP file).
2. Save the
.IOP
file to the local computer (
/tmp
directory is recommended) from where
you will be doing the software update.
3. Click the Update Software link in the Summary box. The Update Software dialog appears:
