CX300 - Flare Upgrade 2.16.300.5.018 to 02.19.300.5.045
Hello Community,
i wanna upgrade my flare from 2.16 to 2.19.
But, all i try .. no success.
- If iy try the update with Navisphere Service Taskbar, "in the target system runs a version that is not supported, you need minimum 2.19..."(yeah..i try!
).
- Next try with USM told me "in this system runs version 6.16.4.1.0, which is not compatible with this version of unisphere", after i try to connect to my host. (OK..the storage is really not uptodate..)
- last but not least, i try navicli:
>NaviCLI.exe -h firmware C:\EMC\repository\Downloads\CX300-Bundle-02.19.300.5.045.pbu
- Error: firmware command failed
Command not Supported
How can i update this beast, where is the solution?
For any hint i´m really really grateful.

Check the CLI manual for the command NDU - that's the command used to upgrade the flare version.
On Navisphere 16, you need to use an older tool called Software Installation Wizard.
You can also use Navisphere - if you right click the name of the array and select Software Operation/Software Installation Wizard - you should be able to upgrade from there. If that doesn't work, try turning on engineering mode and try again.

Hello Glen,
thanks for your hints.
This I had already been tested:
>NaviCLI.exe ndu -h firmware C:\EMC\repository\Downloads\CX300-Bundle-02.19.300.5.045.pbu
Command not Supported
The ndu command is no longer supported in NaviCLI. Please refer to the Release Notes for instructions on how to perform a software upgrade.
Software Installation in Navisphere runs in a Error, i have already been try. (wrong file? pbu?)
CX300-Bundle-02.19.300.5.045.pbu is the right file in this case?
i ask beacause, if i try to navigate to my .pbu file, he awaits a .lst or .ena file by default:
"software bundles and eneablers (.lst, ena)"
then i choose "all data types" and select my pbu.
in engineering mode:
he runs in an error:
Query Failed: SP A: This file is either not a valid upgrade file or is corrupt. It may have been corrupted during a file transfer. Obtain a new copy and retry the upgrade. (0x71518003).
I try to find Software Installation Wizard...
thanks

hello!
i recommend going this way:
1.Generate procedure by Clariion Procedure Generator (not latest version, i successfully generate by version 4.4.6).
2.Update using NST.
Cut from procedure "Does your activity involve upgrading software on a storage system running a version of FLARE that is lower than Release 19? If yes, use version 6.29.2 NST"
3.Update to the latest release for cx300 if possible, is 02.26.300.5.031 flare version and it available at support.emc.com.

OK, Software Installation Wizard is the solution, it runs 2.19.
Now upgrade to 2.26.
Thanks Glen.

i`m not sure, but i think you must upgrade to r19 at first, and after that to r26.
Use NST vs SIW, SIW a very old tool, NST a newer.
I strongly recommend generate procedure for update, procedure describe some workarounds and issues during ugrade process. If you cant generate procedure, i can help and upload it to anywhere.

In Navisphere, go to system properties (right click on serial no/name) > software tab. Check if the current FLARE ( 2.19) is commited or not .If it is not committed, you will find a commit button there.

i checked it`s no upgrade from r16 to r 26 directly, you must upgrade to r19 at first.
i`m sorry i haven`t NST ver.6.26, try SIW 6.19.81.1.10 to upgrade from r16 to r19 and when you upgraded to r19 check your version of NST for upgrading to r26.
