A: Updating the StorEdge5210 NAS operating system software 
B: Updating the StorEdge5210 NAS RAID controller firmware

----------------------------------------------------------------

A: Updating the StorEdge5210 NAS operating system software 

This procedure is taken from the "System Maintenance" section of the:
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Software Installation, Configuration, and User Guide


Updating Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Software:

Start a web browser and connect to your StorEdge 5210, i.e.
  http://10.0.52.10/
(Note "Browser Requirements" below.)

Supply the administration password and click "apply".


1: In the navigation panel, select:
    > System Operations > Update Software

2. In the Update Software panel, type the path where the
   update files are located. If you need to look for the
   path, click Browse.  The update file provided with this
   patch is located in the same directory as this file.
   Look for *.IMG

3: Click the Update button and wait for the transfer of
   the system software to StorEdge 5210.

4. When the update process is complete, click Yes to reboot,
   or No to continue without rebooting. The update does not
   take effect until the system is rebooted.

Note that the system restart on the 5210 after this update
takes a few minutes longer than normal.  The additional time
is necessary for completing installation of the new software.


Browser Requirements:

[Taken from Chapter 1 of the User Guide]

To access the Web Administrator management interface, you must have
the following software:
  Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, Sun Solaris 5.7 Operating System, or Red Hat Linux
  Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on systems using Windows 98/NT/2000/XP
or
  NetscapeTM 4.77 (or later) on systems using Windows 98/NT/2000/XP and
  Sun Solaris Operating System. Netscape 6.0 and 6.01 are not supported.
  MozillaTM JavaTM-enabled browser with Java Plug-In 1.3.1 (or later).

B: Updating the StorEdge5210 NAS RAID controller firmware

This procedure may be needed to update an newly replaced LSI Raid
card in the case of failure to the Bios/Firmware revision that was
running on the system prior to the failure.

NOTE: Do not perform this procedure when a drive has failed and is
      in the rebuilding state.

1) On a functioning 5210 system, confirm that /cvol (the flash disk)
   has been exported as a writable share (either CIFS or NFS).
   (Alternatively, one may enable FTP and use that for the
   procedure in step 2.)

2) On a networked client system, mount the exported volume 
   corresponding to /cvol (or connect via ftp) and then
   perform the following operations:

	create the directory "firmware"  in /cvol/
	create the directory "mrc" in /cvol/firmware/
	copy the file verdeGEN.rom to /cvol/firmware/mrc/

3) Reboot the 5210.  When the system restarts, it will update
   the RAID controller firmware, and then restart again.  The
   front panel display indicates progress during the update.
   Successful completion should be verified by checking the
   system log after the system completes the second restart.
