Release Notes

6) Verify that all installed Shared PERC8 controllers are enabled by checking the Storage -> Controllers tab in
the CMC web interface. If the second Shared PERC8 controller is displayed as “Disabled PERC (Integrated
2)”, use the CMC command:
‘racadm raid enableperc:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.2-1’
to enable the previously disabled controller prior to performing Step 7 below. The VRTX chassis power
cycles after the Shared PERC8 enablement command is run.
7) Update the Shared PERC8 controller firmware on all installed controllers using the Storage -> Update tab in
the CMC web interface. Make sure to update both controllers in the High Availability Dual Shared PERC8
configuration in the same operation.
8) If a Shared PERC8 controller was required to be enabled for update in Step 6 above, you can disable the
controller again if required. Use the CMC command ‘racadm raid disableperc:Raid.ChassisIntegrated.2-
1’. This command results in a chassis power cycle.
