A few months ago someone asked me if I had documentation on how to do FLARE upgrades on a CLARiiON. I’d taken a video last year, but realised that it used the old Navisphere Service Taskbar and covered the upgrade of a CX700 to FLARE 26. So, basically, my doco was a little out of date.<\/p>\n
I recently had the opportunity to upgrade some of our CX4-120s to the latest release of FLARE 30 (.524), so thought it might be an opportune moment to document the process in a visual sense. Once I’d completed the articles, I realised this may have been done better with a series of videos. Maybe next time. In any case, here’s a four-part series (part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a>, part 3<\/a>, and part 4<\/a>)\u00a0on how to upgrade FLARE on a CX4 using Unisphere Service Manager. It’s a classic death-by-screenshot scenario, and I apologise in advance for the size of the files. While we’re talking about documentation, have a look through the rest of the articles page<\/a>, there might be something useful there. And if you want something covered specifically, I do take requests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few months ago someone asked me if I had documentation on how to do FLARE upgrades on a CLARiiON.
