Figure 21 Code Load Disk Drives - Page 2 window 11. Click Next step. The disk drive code load operation begins. A status page opens indicating the progress as each disk drive is upgraded. The disk drives are upgraded sequentially. Depending upon the I/O load on the storage system, it can take 30 seconds to 3.5 minutes per drive to upgrade the firmware. The status is updated at 45 second intervals, so you must wait to see which disk drives are complete. CAUTION: If you select any array in the navigation pane to manage it, the disk drive upgrade stops. For example, if 10 of 27 drives have completed the upgrade when you selected the array, only those 10 drives will be upgraded. If you run a second disk drive upgrade, the Status box on the Status window displays NO for the 10 drives that have been upgraded and the remaining 17 drives are not upgraded. Figure 22 Code Load Disk Drives - status window When all the disk drives have been upgraded, the Code Load Disk Drives On Line - Page 3 window opens indicating the drives that have been upgraded successfully. 50 Upgrading the Enterprise Virtual Array
