Before starting the firmware update, the administrator must download the new firmware image file and latest version of firmware update test utility. 

The current firmware for the system can be downloaded from the internet (if the system includes such access), or the administrator can download the firmware from the following web page. 

https://www-945.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=Flash%20high%20a vailability%20systems&product=ibm/StorageSoftware/IBM+FlashSystem+900&release=All& platform=All&function=all 

A firmware download requires an appropriate maintenance agreement or indication that the system is covered under warranty. When downloading firmware from IBM, the client must validate coverage by entering the system model number and serial number. 

The system model number (MTM, “Machine Type/Model”) and serial number (S/N) are on the printed serial number label on the system. These numbers also are in the GUI, below the firmware version (see Figure 8-84).
