Upgrade Kits Page

The Upgrade Kits page:

• Provides version and state information for each component of your ztC Endurance system.

• Displays update activity for the WIN host, compute module A, and compute module B. An asterisk (*) indicates the active compute module.

• Enables you to upload, manage, and install upgrade kits for newer versions of Automated Uptime Layer with Smart Exchange software.

The Upgrade Kits page supports the following functions using the buttons below the banner:

• 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.

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.

Upgrade Kit States

When an upgrade kit is present on the ztC Endurance system, it is listed on the Upgrade Kits page. The State column displays each kit's state. Possible upgrade kit states are:

• Ready — The upgrade kit is ready to apply.

• Applied — The upgrade kit has been successfully applied.

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

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

• Unsupported — The upgrade 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 — The checksum verification failed.

• Failed — Contact Penguin Solutions Customer Service.
