Hi,

 

I recently performed a firmware upgrade on a Dell MD3400 Storage Array.

Original Firmware Version: 08.20.12.60

New Firmware Version: 08.25.14.60

During the upgrade I had a error: 1081 error code. 

During the upgrade process the transfer was completed but the system got stuck during the activation RAID array (2and3 step of the firmware upgrade), even if I could see that it put the network ports down and up again. I rebooted the machine after 30 min. 

After the reboot I can see in my MDSM -> Tools -> Upgrade my RAID Controller the following status:

Status: Upgradable: Optimal

Current Firmware: 08.25.14.60

NSVRam version: N2701-825890-004

As well as in Tools -> Firmware inventory for that array I can see that firmware and NVSRam are updated to the latest version. 

Can I consider the upgrade successful and ignore the error 1081, or the firmware is stored in memory and didn't apply to the machine?

Everything is working as normal btw.
