Upgrading Flash Accel components
When new software is available from NetApp you can upgrade each Flash Accel software component.
Because Flash Accel software resides on multiple devices, there are separate instructions for upgrading the:
Flash Accel Management Console
Flash Accel Host Agent on host servers
Flash Accel Guest OS Agent on virtual machines
Flash Accel host and VM software packages reside on the server where the Flash Accel Management Console is installed. The software packages are copied to the destination (the host server or the virtual machine) during the upgrade process. When upgrading software on the hosts and VMs, a new software package is copied to the destination and is then installed on top of the existing software. Therefore, the first step in upgrading software on hosts and VMs is to upgrade the software packages that reside on the Flash Accel Management Console virtual machine.
The host and VM software packages can be upgraded by either of the following methods:
Note: If new software is available for both hosts and VMs, you should install the new host software first, and then install the new software on VMs.
