DUPs provide an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to apply a software update to either a single system or, remotely, to multiple systems using your organization's software distribution tools. DUPs run separately from Array Manager, so you can use a DUP if Array Manager is not available on your host system. Dell provides DUPs for the following operating systems: • Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server • Windows Server 2003 • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 2.1) • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 3) for Intel x86 Windows DUP Update Procedure The following procedure updates the firmware on a PowerVault 22xS storage system that is attached to a host system that is running the 32-bit version of Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, or Windows Server 2003, without Array Manager. 1 Stop all I/O activity to the storage system. 2 Create a directory on your local file system. 3 Download the executable Windows DUP package file (PV220s-221s-FRMW-Rxxxxx.exe, where Rxxxxx indicates the release) from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com and save the file to the directory you created in step 2. 4 Double-click the downloaded file to uncompress the file and start the update. 5 When prompted, click Install to update the firmware.
