SVC and storwize upgrade
Easier way to upgrade is using GUI to upgrade
Precheck:
- depending on hardware, check the required level available
Ex: => google: Hardware Interoperability Matrix v7000
- check the upgrade steps, maybe you cannot update in one step from 8.1.7 to 8.3.1.3 !
Ex: => google: Concurrent Compatibility and Code Cross Reference for Spectrum Virtualize
Download the test utility (required) and package upgrade
Start the upgrade in full automatic (best practice)
Duration: about 30 minutes per controler , depending on packages, and maybe also BIOS upgrades on SVC
During install, you have to check

check IP quorums
On Hyperswap cluster : v7k… and on SVC, check quorums, specificaly IP (an update is maybe useful)
All quorums must be **online** and one IP quorum **active** when upgrade is finished
IBM_Storwize:V7K01:admin>lsquorum quorum_index status id name controller_id controller_name active object_type override site_id site_name 0 online 3 no drive no 1 site1 1 degraded 141 no drive no 2 site2 3 online yes device no quorum01.intra/10.10.10.10
When all nodes are updated, and the system is updated, the
IBM_Storwize:V7K01:admin>lsupdate status enclosures event_sequence_number progress 0 estimated_completion_time 210206130607 suggested_action wait system_new_code_level system_forced no system_next_node_status none system_next_node_time system_next_node_id system_next_node_name system_next_pause_time
New code is active on the system
IBM_Storwize:V7K01:admin>lssystem | grep code code_level 8.3.1.3 (build 150.25.2012041757000)
On arrays, next step, the system 'll update firmaware on axpansions, there is no progress bar, just have to wait…
Next step on arrays
Check and maybe update drives firmwares
- download the packages for SAS and/or NVMe drives depending on your hardware
Then go into
Pools --> Internal Storage --> Actions --> Upgrade All
If you got a message:
CMMVC7241E System code update cannot start because a component firmware update is in progress.
Then wait …
When upgrade starts, follow the progress with (about 4 minutes per drive):
IBM_Storwize:V7K01:admin>lsdriveupgradeprogress id status estimated_completion_time 12 not_scheduled 13 not_scheduled 14 not_scheduled 15 not_scheduled 16 not_scheduled 17 not_scheduled 18 not_scheduled
Quorum IP
Create a service with downloaded file ip_quorum.jar from storage SVC or v7000, and open firewall port :1260
On windows:
sc.exe create "IBM_IP_quorum" binPath= "F:\<javapath>\java -jar ip_quorum.jar"
To delete service:
sc.exe delete SERVICE NAME
On Linux:
