Upgrading an existing single controller
system to a dual controller
If you have an existing sin gle controller system and you are adding a
second controller, the new controller automatically begins to initialize
when it is installed. If the firmware versions differ between the t wo
controllers, P artner Firmware Upgrade feature brings the older firmware
to the later firmware level.
Verifying Partner Firmware Upgrade is
enabled
By default the s
torage system’s Partner Firmware Upgrade feature is
enabled, so whe
n you upgrade a controller the system automatically
ensures that b
oth controllers have the more recent version.
• Log in to the co
mmand-line interface (CLI) and run the following
command to verify that Partner Firmware Upgrade is enabled.
show advanced-settings
If Partner Firmware Upgrade is disabled, enable it by running the
command:
set advanced-settings partner-firmware-upgrade
enabled
Verifying controller status
Once the controller completes initializing and is online:
• Verify tha t the heartbeat LED on the front of the enclosure is green.
• Verify that the OK LED on the back of the controller is green.
NOTE:
If the OK L
ED is blinking, the controller is still initializing.
