Some problems with the Verde arrays may be fixed by updating the array’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 upgrade key entered in the
array you want to update. See Manually Enter Activation Keys
on page 103 for more information.
If Automated Software Upload is enabled, the array sends an email to all
users configured to receive Warning or Informational emails (see
Configure Mail Recipients on page 122 ) and posts a system message to the
Messages screen. If configured to do so, the array also downloads the
updated software.
The method used to update the array depends on if the Automated
Software Upload feature is enabled or not, and if enabled, whether it is
configured to download the update software.

If the update package downloaded automatically, skip to Install the
Update on page 138 .

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 137 .

If you do not know if the array needs an update installed, continue
with Check the Current Software Version .
Check the Current Software Version
Use the following steps to determine the current software version running
on your Verde master node.
1. From the menu bar, select Support > Software. The Software screen
displays.
2. The current software version is listed next to Current Version in the
Software Update pane.
