Versions and updates of the basic software

In addition to the system version, the software status also includes the updates which are installed on the unit. Software updates can only be installed if they are available on the local system.

Under SW version in the system information the SE Manager displays on the MU, SU x86, and HNC the version of the basic software M2000, X2000 or HNC, including the update status.
On the SU /390, the SE Manager displays the HCP (Hardware Control Program) software (e.g. in the SU /390 information on "Name, system information and interfaces of the SU /390"), but in this case does not support update management.

The software status consequently has the following components:

Component	Example	Description
Version	6.5A
Revision	REV=0305	Update status
Update	6.5A, No.020	Updates are assigned to a version and update status. Updates have a sequence number for each version status and each update status (020 in the example)

In contrast to the other updates, add-on packs are autonomous software products which Fujitsu provides for installation on the Management Units. An add-on pack is either a software product which is installed by default (e.g. StorMan on the Management Unit) or one which is optional.
Add-on packs are managed like updates to the basic software, but the software status displayed consists of the product name and a product-specific version designation.

Updates to the basic software

You can transfer updates to the basic software as well as add-on packs to the Management Unit, the SU x86 and the HNC and manage them there.

An update to the basic software contains a patch with which an urgent problem in your system can be rectified as quickly as possible.

An update can only be installed by Customer Support. Installation can only be performed using a CLI command under the Customer Support account.

Updates are supplied as files of the following types:

• iso.gz for files which can be downloaded from the download server

• iso for files which are supplied on CD/DVD

Naming conventions

The following naming conventions apply for the files containing the updates:

Update	e.g. MV6.5A0305U020.iso[.gz] The update with number 020 is assigned to the version and update status 6.5A REV=0305.
Add-on pack	e.g. MV.STORMAN-10.3.1-0.0.iso This add-on pack contains STORMAN V10.3.

The first letter in the file name indicates the basic software of the associated unit:

• X for X2000 on the Server Unit

• M for M2000 on the Management Unit

• H for HNC on the High-speed Net Connect
