The upgrade process will start. This process will take approximately 15 minutes.
Note:
During the SMU upgrade process, a cluster, which is using the SMU
as a Quorum Device, may generate the following Severe Event. This is to be
expected and may be ignored:
Severe: Lost communication with the Quorum Device.

Manually eject the CD during the reboot (click the CD drive’s button on the front of the
SMU).
Note:
To eject the CD through the SMU’s command prompt, (logged in as
root) type:
umount /mnt/cdrom
eject cdrom

The SMU will boot up using the new build.
Note:
After the SMU upgrade process, the SMU may report Titan as 'out of
contact' or 'version mismatch error', this is expected and is not a problem.
The Titan SiliconServer can be upgraded as soon as the SMU has rebooted.
However, the Titan Server will not be managed by the SMU during the
SMU upgrade process.
Upgrading Titan Server Firmware
A Titan SiliconServer can store up to three firmware packages in flash memory. Any one of
these images can be selected to run automatically when Titan is rebooted. Such a package is
known as the default package. The package being run on Titan at any given time is known as
the current package.
When BlueArc releases a new version of the server firmware, it can be uploaded to flash
memory, ready to be set as the default package for Titan. The sections below explain how a
package can be uploaded and designated as the default package.
Note:
Contact BlueArc Global Services for instructions on how to obtain
the latest firmware version.
