Update the drive firmware

You can update the drive firmware to the latest revision; updating the drive firmware ensures overall data integrity.

This procedure explains how to update the drive firmware on nodes that have bootflash drives after you have installed the latest drive support package. For a list of nodes with bootflash drives, see the System requirements section of the PowerScale Drive Support Package Release Notes.

NOTE Power cycling drives during a firmware update might return unexpected results. Do not restart or power off nodes when the drive firmware is being updated in a cluster.
  1. Open a secure shell (SSH) connection to any node in the cluster and log in.
  2. Run the following command to update the drive firmware for your entire cluster:
    isi devices drive firmware update start all --node-lnn all

    To update the drive firmware for a specific node only, run the following command:

    isi devices drive firmware update start all --node-lnn <node-number>
    CAUTION Wait for one node to finish updating before you initiate an update on the next node. To confirm that a node has finished updating, run the following command:

    isi devices drive firmware update list

    A drive that is still updating displays a status of FWUPDATE.

    Updating the drive firmware of a single drive takes approximately 15 seconds, depending on the drive model. OneFS updates drives sequentially.
