Upgrade Firmware in Dell Equal Logic PS4100E
Hi! I have a Dell Array, Equal Logic PS 4100E. I need to upgrade its firmware. Currently Im running Firmware V5.1.1. I read this: "Updating Firmware for Dell EqualLogic PS Series Storage Arrays and FS Series Appliances" but I need some confirmation before I do the actual upgrade.
Since Im running V5.1.1 at the moment, I need to:
1) Download and install firmware V5.2.11
2) Download and install firmware V6.0.8
3) Download and install firmware V7.0.2
Am I right? Could anybody confirm that its correct? Cheers ;)

To get to v7.x from v5.1.1 you should only need to do two updates, first upgrade to 6.0.x (the latest, 6.0.8). The firmware upgrade document for v6.0.8 clearly shows that you can go from 5.1.x to 6.0.x, and no need to do the 5.2.11 upgrade).
Once on the latest version 6.0.8 (and the array was restarted - very important to do this step!), you can go to the latest version of 7.x.
(Note the release notes for 7.x are a bit confusion on this and need to be revised to show the path from 5.1 to 7 a little better)
