Obtaining the software packages

After checking to see if your system software is up to date, you can download the latest software release from the support site.

Before you begin

Check to see if a newer release of software is available by using the management GUI. Select Settings > System > Update System. When you arrive on this page, the system automatically checks for updates.

To obtain a new release of code for a system update, access the following site:

www.ibm.com/support

Select Fixes (downloads) from the support shortcuts text box.
Select SAN Volume Controller from the Product list.
Select the version fix level from the Version fix level list.
Select All in the Filter by operating system drop-down list.
Select Continue.

The code is installed directly on the SAN Volume Controller system. System code updates can be completed only in a strict order. The rules for updating from any version to the latest version are also provided on the website.
