Downloading MD3060e Series expansion module EMM firmware

NOTE: Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while you are downloading the expansion enclosure 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, expansion enclosure 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.

You can transfer a downloadable firmware file to the expansion enclosure EMM in the expansion enclosures attached to the storage array.

CAUTION: Risk of possible loss of data or risk of damage to the storage array—Downloading the expansion enclosure EMM firmware incorrectly could result in loss of data or damage to the storage array. Perform downloads only under the guidance of your Technical Support representative.
CAUTION: Risk of making expansion enclosure EMM unusable—Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while downloading expansion enclosure EMM firmware. Doing so could cause the firmware download to fail and make the selected expansion enclosure unusable.
  1. In the AMW, select Upgrade > EMM Firmware.
    The Download Environmental (EMM) Card Firmware dialog is displayed.
  2. In the Select enclosures area, either select each expansion enclosure to which you want to download firmware, or select the Select All option to select all of the expansion enclosures in the storage array.
    Each selected expansion enclosure must have the same product ID.
  3. Click Select File to select the EMM firmware file.
    The Select Environmental (EMM) Card Firmware File dialog is displayed.
  4. Select the file to download, and click OK.
  5. Click Start.
  6. Click Yes to continue with the firmware download.
    NOTE: If you click Stop while a firmware download is in progress, the download-in-progress finishes before the operation stops. The status for the remaining expansion enclosures changes to Canceled.
  7. Monitor the progress and completion status of the download to the expansion enclosures. The progress and status of each expansion enclosure that is participating in the download is displayed in the Status column of the Select enclosures table.
    NOTE: Each firmware download can take several minutes to complete.
  8. Perform one of these actions depending on whether the download succeeded:
    • The download succeeded — The statuses of all the expansion enclosures show Complete. You can close the Download environmental (EMM) Card Firmware dialog by clicking Close. The expansion enclosure EMM cards are now operating with the new firmware.
    • The download failed — The status of one expansion enclosure shows Failed, and the remainder of the expansion enclosures show Canceled. Make sure that the new firmware file is compatible before attempting another firmware download.
