MD3 Series Controller Firmware Updates
*** ATTENTION ***
If your PowerVault MD32xx/MD36xx series storage array is currently running a firmware version lower than 07.75.28.60, you cannot directly install the RAID controller firmware version

07.84.47.60 included in this release.

Instead, you must first install the bridge firmware version 07.75.28.60. After the bridge firmware is successfully installed, you can then install RAID controller firmware 07.84.47.60.


Specifically, follow these steps:

1. *** IMPORTANT *** Install Dell PowerVault MD Storage Manager (MDSM) software from the Resource DVD version 4.1.2.29 or higher.

2. Extract the following files from the Bridge_Firmware_07_75_28_60.zip archive:
* Bridge_Firmware_07_75_28_60.dlp

3. Download and activate RAID controller bridge firmware version 07.75.28.60 (contained in the Bridge_Firmware_07_75_28_60.dlp file)

4. Once the bridge firmware installation is successfully completed, wait at least 30 minutes to allow the attached hosts to re-discover the storage array.

5. Download and activate the RAID controller firmware version 07.84.47.60 (contained in the MD3xxx_MD3xxx_Firmware_07_84_47_60.dlp file) together with the NVSRAM configuration file version

N26X0-784890-X04 (contained in the MD3xxx_MD3xxx_NVSRAM_N26X0-784890-X04.dlp file) using the Dell PowerVault MD Storage Manager for your corresponding array type.
* MD3200_MD3220_Firmware_07_84_47_60.dlp and MD3200_MD3220_N26X0_784890_004.dlp (6G Non-Dense SAS)
* MD3200i_MD3220i_Firmware_07_84_47_60.dlp and MD3200i_MD3220i_N26X0_784890_004.dlp (1G Non-Dense iSCSI)
