Updating the Adaptec OnTarget Operating System As newer versions of the Adaptec OnTarget operating system become available, you can update your iSCSI Storage Appliance. Adaptec Storage Manager stores two versions (or images) at a time, so that if you experience problems with a newly downloaded one, you can revert to the previous image. Note This task is recommended for advanced users only. If you are also updating to a newer version of Adaptec Storage Manager, complete that update before updating the controller image. See page 139 for more information. New images for your iSCSI Storage Appliance are posted on the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com. Image files have a .upgrade file extension. Once you have downloaded a new image, use Adaptec Storage Manager to update your iSCSI Storage Appliances. • To apply a new image, see the following section. • To see which image is currently in use, see page 112. • To revert to a previous image, see page 112. Applying a New Image Caution Before you begin-Because all updated iSCSI Storage Appliances will be automatically rebooted after the image has been updated, stop all active applications before you begin. To apply a new image: 1 In the Enterprise View, select iSCSI Storage. 2 In the Actionsmenu, select Update controller images. 3 Click Yes to continue this task. The Adaptec ROM Update wizard opens. 4 Click Next. 5 Click Add to browse to the new image file you downloaded, select the file, then click Open. 6 In the wizard, click Next. 7 Select the iSCSI Storage Appliances you want to update, then click Next, then review the update summary. 8 Click Apply. The image is updated. All updated iSCSI Storage Appliances are rebooted. (This may take a few minutes.)
