The firmware upgrade may fail if any of the RAID controllers in the system are performing an I/O
background task (consistency check, background initialization, rebuild, or reconstruction). Allow
the background task to complete before attempting to upgrade the firmware. "Patrol Read" tasks
will not affect a firmware upgrade.
PowerVault MD1000 firmware

The PowerVault update procedure requires the RAID controller to be in a known good state. If a
problem occurs with the RAID controller during the update procedure, the Update Packages
cannot communicate with the PowerVault system, inventory its firmware version, or perform the
update. (138462)
• Stop all input/output to the PowerVault MD1000 before running the PowerVault MD1000
firmware update package.
WARNING: THE SERVER MUST BE REBOOTED AFTER UPDATING THE FIRMWARE ON
MD1000 ENCLOSURES IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ENCLOSURE MANAGEMENT. ACCESS
