1. Go to the product support page, enter your product serial number, and then download the desired controller firmware files.
2. For this example, Controller Firmware Update Bundle 11.60.3R2 (lnvgy_fw_storage_08.63.00.02.005-6000_anyos_noarch.zip) will be used.
3. Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your management client.
4. Use a Web browser to log in to the TSM GUI with the admin account and password.
   
5. Select Support.
   
6. Select UPGRADE CENTER.
   
7. In the ThinkSystem SAN OS Software upgrade section, select Begin Upgrade.

• Note: If you do not want to upgrade the IOM firmware at this time, click Suspend IOM Auto-Synchronization.
  

8. Click Browse, and then select the ThinkSystem SAN OS Software file which was previously downloaded from the Lenovo Support site.
   • In this example controller firmware file “lnvgy_fw_storage_08.63.00.02.005-6000_anyos_noarch.dlp” will be selected.
   • Note: If you have selected a SAN OS software file to upgrade, the file can be transferred to the controller without activating. To do this, once the SAN OS software file has been selected, select the Transfer files now, but do not upgrade (activate upgrade later) check box.
     
     
     Optional Step:
     
9. Click Browse and then select the NVSRAM file “lnvgy_fw_storage_862870D02-6000-NVSRAM_anyos_noarch.dlp”.
   Note: If you upgrade the controller NVSRAM, any custom settings you previously applied to the existing NVSRAM will be lost as part of the activation. You will need to reapply the custom settings to the NVSRAM after activation.
   
   
10. Click Start to begin the FW update process.
    Note: The upgrade can be canceled during the health check phase, but NOT during the upgrade phase.
    
11. A dialogue box will display the components that will be transferred and activated. Verify that the displayed information is correct.
12. If everything is correct, confirm the Upgrade Transfer and Activation by typing UPGRADE in the text box and then click the UPGRADE button.
    Note: Upgrading one or more components will cause a temporary connection loss to the System Manager Web application. If you do not have a multi-path driver installed, please verify that you have stopped all I/O to the storage array.
    
13. A pre-upgrade health check will be started and then followed by the file transfer. When the upgrade is complete, click Save Log to see a list of what was upgraded.
    
    

1. When the installation is complete, navigate to the Hardware page to verify that all components appear correctly.
