Open the VI Client and select VSA → Edit Settings → Hardware. 3. Select Hard disk 1 (verify that the Virtual Device Node is SCSI (0:0)). 4. Under Disk provisioning, changed the provisioned size to 8 GB. 5. Click OK. 6. Repeat these steps for Hard disk 2 (verify the Virtual Device Node is SCSI (0:1)) 7. Using the VI Client, power on the VSA. 8. Find the VSA in the CMC and apply the 8.5 upgrade. 1.3.1.3 Upgrade Software on Storage Nodes 1. Right-click the first storage node to upgrade and select Install Software. The Install Software window opens. 2. Select from the list which storage nodes to upgrade. 3. Select the upgrade. 4.

If this validation fails for any reason, the management group version will not be upgraded to 8.5. For example, if a management group has a mix of platforms, some of which are unsupported by a software release; then only the supported platforms get upgraded successfully, the management group version will not be upgraded if the unsupported platforms remain in that management group. 1.3.1.4.1 How to Verify Management Group Version In the CMC navigation window, select the management group, and then select the Registration tab.
