Installation
Updating the firmware
After installing the hardware and powering on the storage system components for the first time, verify that the system
USM firmware (including controller modules, expansion modules, power supplies, and VPDs) as well as drives are using
the current firmware release. Additionally, ensure that the system configuration (including SAS zoning) is correct per the
solution requirements.
The JBOD Firmware Update utilities (both jbodupdate and UUT), are cross-platform tools combining both the enclosure
firmware content itself, and the logic required to detect and update any attached enclosures. These utilities support the
ability to discover available Seagate enclosures and display an inventory list of all enclosure firmware components and
their versions. Refer to the utility user guide, firmware release notes and relevant solution documentation for instructions
on safely using the firmware update utilities in a given solution.
Periodically, you should ensure that the firmware versions used in enclosure modules are compatible. Product release
notes describe the process for updating firmware. Contact your account manager for additional information.
