ISE Firmware Upgrades
Upgrading the ISE firmware is an uptime event. The ISE must be in an operational state before performing a
firmware upgrade. The ISE state can be confirmed by displaying the system status and the status of each
component. If the system or any component is in a state other than
Operational
, the problem must be corrected
before performing the firmware upgrade. Refer to the Support Matrix at
http://www.XIOstorage.com/
supportmatrix
for the latest information on supported configurations to ensure that the correct file is retrieved.
Once a firmware upgrade is begun, no other upgrade of either MRC or DataPac firmware may be performed
until the current upgrade is complete or terminated. A
Remove
or
Add
procedure may not be performed until
the firmware upgrade completes. Do not make configuration changes while a firmware upgrade is occurring.
Upgrading ISE firmware is a three-step process:
1.
Upload Firmware Files:
The new firmware files are transferred from a network location to the ISE resident
memory.
2.
Upgrade MRC Firmware:
The system installs the new firmware image on the MRCs.
3.
Upgrade DataPac Firmware:
The system installs the new firmware image on the DataPacs.
Note.
Orchestrator does not support upgrading firmware.
MRC Firmware Upgrade
When an MRC firmware upgrade is performed, the new firmware is automatically propagated to both MRCs.
After a firmware upgrade, the ISE automatically begins using the newly installed firmware. All configuration
settings, volume configurations, and other system information are preserved through the upgrade process.
Event notifications are sent during the MRC upgrade process. If Event Subscription is on, MRC upgrade
events refer to the processes on both MRCs; that is, a single event covers upgrade activity on both MRCs.
Several event notifications, identifying various stages of the upgrade, are available for subscription; see “Event
Logs” on page 121.
Note.
The upgrade filename format is
ISE-
x
_
y
_
z
_0_build.ue2
from
controller.fw
, where
x
_
y
_
x
represents
the version (for example:
2_0_0
for version 2.0.0).
During the MRC firmware upgrade, the Web-Mgt or CLI can be used to monitor the progress or view other ISE
management pages. However, any attempt to start a firmware upgrade leads to an
Upload in Progress
view or
CLI status display indicating that a firmware upgrade is already in progress and another upgrade cannot be
started.
Upgrade Firmware—Web-Mgt
Upgrading the MRC firmware with the Web-Mgt can exceed fifteen minutes. Before performing an MRC
firmware upgrade with the Web-Mgt, ensure that the system status is
Operational
. Using the MRC Information
view (
Environment
>>
mrc
), determine the firmware version currently loaded on the MRCs. Use the At-A-
Glance Summary view (
System
>>
display
) to check the status of all FRUs. In a routine firmware upgrade, all
components in the system should be
Operational
. View the
Maintenance
>>
upgrade firmware
view to verify that
no other upgrade is in progress.
Step-1. Upload the File
To upgrade the ISE firmware locate and download the firmware from the
X-IO
download site as follows:
a. Locate the appropriate MRC upgrade file (.zip) on Xiotech’s download Web site and download it to a
local network location.
b. Unzip the upgrade file (.zip).
