Updating the Array OS Workflow
The array OS is the software that runs on the array. HPE Storage provides regular maintenance releases and periodic updates to the array OS. Before you configure your array, be sure you have the latest version of the array OS installed.
If an array OS update is available for your array, you can download it now and install it later. The GUI has an automated procedure to install updates.
The following table describes the workflow for updating the array OS software on an array:
| Step | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Find the Array OS Version | You must note the version of the array OS currently running on your array to help you select the right update. |
| 2. | (Optional) Download and Update the Array OS without Internet Access | If your array has Internet access, skip to Step 3. If your array does not have Internet access, you must manually download the array OS update from the support site. To perform this task, you must have access to HPE InfoSight from a PC or other workstation with an Internet connection. |
| 3. | Download and Update the Array OS with Internet Access | Installs the array OS software update on the array. |
| 4. | Verify the Array OS Update | After the array OS update has finished, verify that the update was successful. |
