Thankyou for your attention. After many attempts (~15) I was able to get the complete file and have the checksum match up.

I have applied the update successfully.

So I will not be needing the ftp site.

I'm having issues downloading the update too. Three times so far and the file is a different size each time?? The VNXe rejects the candidate saying it is corrupt?? Very strange.....

Anyone having issues installing this upgrade? I'm a little gun shy to be an early adopter this time around....

5th time was a charm?? 632MB downloaded and confirmed good.

3rd time was a charm for me.  632367KB

I feel stupid, but how do I use the checksum to verify the download?

hey no worries...

how to use check sum,

1) grab the check sum value from the web site and keep for later reference

2) if on linux just run md5sum

    if on windows I use the freeware WinMD5Free.exe from www.winmd5.com, execute the program and select the firmware file and let it calculate

Both options windows or linux will return a checksum of the firmware file, compare this value to the checksum value you saved for reference from the emc website for the particular firmware file

3) if the two values are the same then the downloaded file is exactly as the one on emc website.

Easy peasy

Same issue with me, switched browser from Firefox to IE and it completed.  Checksum valid.

I am unable to get the file to download as well. I have tried multiple times from multiple browsers. Can someone help me out with the FTP link?

IE 9.06 worked for me.  Firefox failed twice.  Create a support case requesting this particular code via FTP if all else fails.  On a side note, when you get it and go thru the upgrade, let me know if you experience any lost connection from Unisphere to the VNXe, I did but things completed successfully in the end.  My advise, don't watch it, come back in about an hour.
