12.4 System update
The system update process involves updating the entire IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2
environment.
The node canister software and the drive firmware are updated separately, so these tasks are
described in different topics.
12.4.1 Updating node canister software
For information about the latest software and to download the software package, go to the
following website:

The GUI also shows whether a software update is available and the latest software level when
you navigate to Settings → System → Update System, as shown in Figure 12-30.

Note: Storwize V5000 Gen1 hardware is not supported by IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
or later. The V7.7.1 and V7.8.1 code streams will continue to be updated with critical fixes
for this hardware.
Important: Certain levels of code support updates only from specific previous levels. If you
update to more than one level above your current level, you might be required to install an
intermediate level. For information about on update compatibility, see this website:
