For smooth functioning of the device, it is crucial to keep drives in the PowerVault ME Series enclosures updated to the latest firmware revision. The ME Update Tool is an API-based application that discovers the drives in enclosures and compares the drive firmware version with the version in the update tool. If updates are available, the tool provides an option to update drives to the latest revision. Your computer does not have to be physically connected to the ME Series storage system, the update tool accesses the system via IP.
This tool supports both ME4 and ME5 Series storage systems with fiber channel, SAS, and iSCSI host interfaces.
Before starting the upgrade, make sure that you are using the latest version available of any upgrade documentation and software. The latest revisions of these documents can be found on the Dell support site at https://www.dell.com/support.
