Maintaining the SANbox SSP

This section provides information about maintaining the SANbox SSP. Maintenance 
tasks include updating the SANbox SSP system software, applying software 
patches, interpreting LED patterns, and replacing hardware.

The software may require periodic updates to reflect current software releases and 
ensure optimum product performance and functionality.

This section covers the following topics:

SANbox SSP has two system software components that can be updated: 

■

System software image: The system software image contains the operating 
environment for SANbox SSP, including the StoreAge SVM Agent for SANbox 
SSP. 

■

Maintenance Mode image: The Maintenance Mode image contains software 
that implements basic system maintenance functions for the platform, including 
system update capability. 

Each release of the SANbox SSP system software includes the system software 
image file used to update the SANbox SSP. Maintenance Mode functionality, 
however, rarely changes. The release notes for each system software release 
indicate whether a new Maintenance Mode image is included, and whether 
installation of the new Maintenance Mode image is required to update the system.

The system update capability provided by SANbox SSP also supports the 
incremental update of an existing system image by applying a patch file supplied 
by QLogic. This system patching capability allows QLogic to distribute critical system 
updates between full releases of the system software.
