Downloading EMM Firmware

NOTICE:

Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while you are

downloading the EMM firmware. Doing so could cause the firmware download to

fail, damage the storage array, or cause loss of data accessibility.

NOTE:

Due to a limitation with Linux, EMM firmware updates must be performed

using out-of-band management only. Failure to do so may result in the host server

becoming unresponsive, and it may require a reboot.

1 Click the Support tab, then click Download firmware.
2 From the Download firmware display, click Download Environmental

(EMM) Card Firmware.
A list of expansion enclosures appears with the corresponding version of

the current EMM firmware file.

3 Select where to download the EMM firmware by clicking an individual

expansion enclosure to highlight it or by clicking the

Select All checkbox

to highlight all the expansion trays.

4 Click Select File to locate the directory in which the EMM firmware file to

download resides. Select the file to download by double-clicking the file, and

then click

Start to start the download.

The Start button is disabled until you select a firmware file. If you click Stop

while a firmware download is in progress, the download completes before the

operation stops. When the status field for the remaining expansion

enclosures changes to Canceled, restart the firmware upgrade process.

Firmware Upgrade to 07.xx

NOTE:

All I/O to the array should be stopped before performing the upgrade.

NOTE:

Due to the nature of the enhancements made by the 07.xx firmware, once

the upgrade to the 07.xx firmware is made, Dell does not support converting back to

the 06.xx firmware.
