Upgrade Kits Page

The ztC Endurance Upgrade Kits page enables you to upload and manage upgrade kits. Use this page to upgrade the system to newer versions of the Automated Uptime Layer with Smart Exchange software.

For complete instructions on downloading upgrade kits from the Penguin Solutions Customer Service Portal and installing them on the system, see Upgrading the System Software.

The Upgrade Kits page supports the following functions:

• Qualify — When an upgrade kit in the Ready state is selected, the Qualify button verifies that no version conflicts exist, and that the system is in a healthy state for the upgrade to start. If qualification fails, resolve the issue described in the error message.

• Upgrade — When an upgrade kit in the Ready state is selected, the Upgrade button starts the upgrade process.

• Delete — The Delete button deletes the selected upgrade kit from the system.

• Add — The Add button loads an upgrade kit into the Upgrade Kits page so that you can apply the upgrade. Before adding an upgrade kit file, you must first download it from the Penguin Solutions Customer Service Portal to a local system.

Upgrade Kit States

The left column of the Upgrade Kits page displays the state of each kit file that has been uploaded to the system. Possible kit states are as follows:

• Ready — Kit is ready to apply.

• Applied — Kit has been successfully applied.

• Apply in progress — Kit is being applied. This state also displays the status of the host, compute module A and compute module B.

• Validating — Kit checksum is being verified to determine if the kit file was corrupted.

• Unsupported — Kit is older than the version currently running on the system. The Upgrade button is unavailable for kits that are unsupported, because the system does not support installing older versions.

• Broken — Checksum verification failed.
