Some problems with the BlackPearl system may be fixed by updating the system’s software.
Spectra Logic provides complete support for the most current release of software and one
revision back. Customers using previously released software packages are asked to update
to the current release as soon as possible.
Note:
You must have a current software update key entered in the system you want to
update. See
Database Backup & Restore on page 323
for more information.
If Automated Software Upload is enabled, the system sends an email to all users configured
to receive Warning or Informational emails (see
Configure Mail Recipients on page 336
) and
posts a system message to the Messages screen. If configured to do so, the system also
downloads the updated software.
The method used to update the system depends on if the Automated Software Upload
feature is enabled or not, and if enabled, whether it is configured to download the updated
software.
• If the update package downloaded automatically, skip to
.
• If you were notified that an update is required, but the update did not download
automatically, skip to
Download and Stage the Updated Software on page 355
• If you do not know if the system needs an update installed, continue with
below.
