Managing Service Packs
The FluidFS cluster uses a service pack methodology to upgrade the FluidFS software. Service packs are cumulative, meaning that each
service pack includes all fixes and enhancements provided in earlier service packs.

Install a Service Pack to Update the FluidFS Software
Use the Upgrade FluidFS Cluster wizard to update the FluidFS software. Each FluidFS service pack file is downloaded only once and
cached locally on the Storage Manager Data Collector at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Compellent Technologies
\Compellent Enterprise Manager\msaservice\etc\appupgrades. The same service pack file is used to update each
FluidFS cluster, but only one FluidFS cluster can be updated at a time.
