Prerequisite Tasks
Before performing any storage router maintenance tasks, make sure you have
configured system parameters as described in
Chapter 5, “Configuring the Storage
Router” and Chapter 6, “Configuring System Parameters” .
Note: Certain configuration tasks, such as identifying a location from which to
download software, are optional and may not have been performed during initial
configuration. You may perform these tasks at any time, via the CLI or the GUI. Where
necessary, this chapter will identify the relevant tasks and commands.
Installing Updated Software
The storage router is designed to run on a continual basis without significant
maintenance. However, from time to time, you may need to install updated

stored on an internal, non-volatile Flash disk. The
show software version all
command displays a list of all software
versions stored on the storage router and the amount of disk space available for
additional software.
http://www.hp.com/support
provides registered users access to storage router
software updates. You can download updated software directly to the storage
router from HP.com via standard HTTP, or via HTTP using a proxy server. You
can also use a standard browser to download software updates and associated
readme files from

Using the CLI or the web-based GUI, you can then make software available from
this location (known as the “download location”) to the Store Router via HTTP,
HTTP using a proxy server, or Trivial File Transport Protocol (TFTP).
Note: Always review the readme file before making updated software available to the
storage router.
If you plan to use the CLI download software http or
download software proxy

available to the storage router, the machine hosting the download location must be
running a web server. If you plan to use the CLI download software tftp
