From 4.3.x you would update to 5.0.8. Then update the 5.0.8’s to 5.2.2 (to get all the member in the group at the same FW version). Then you can update the members to 5.2.8. Ensure you do the required restart of the array when told to do so between each FW update (do not skip this step). -joe
I have a number of Equallogic arrays that are in need of firmware updates to get them up to snuff. the lowest version is 4.3.7, the highest is the newest unit at 5.2.2. I would like to get them all at least close to current. I read the docs that said to upgrade the 4.3.7 boxes, I need to go to the 5.0.0 version first, then update to 5.0.1, then on, but on the docs for 5.0.0. they say NOT to install it as you will have issues. So if I cannot update from 4.3.7 to 5.0.0, then how can I get to 5.0.8 or 5.2.8? Thanks Ed.
Equallogic Firmware updates - don't go to 5.0.0?
