How to upgrade the MegaRAID Storage Manager to v.17.05 on DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 (DIP-73xx)?

[#1]

The MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) is a Broadcom Inc. software used to configure, monitor, and maintain MegaRAID Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controllers with RAID control capabilities and the storage-related devices connected to them.

The MSM 17.05.06.00 version has been release to add enhancements, fix bugs and the log4j v.1.2 reported vulnerabilities as per in the release notes 17.05.06.00_MSM.txt.

To upgrade your DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 (DIP-73xx) unit please carry out the following actions, specified, and advised by Broadcom:

Step-by-step guide

1. Before the MSM upgrade, download all required files to a USB stick:

• Download the 32-bit/x86 JRE binary, recommended and tested JRE version:  jdk8u372-b07. Notice MSM is a 32-bit application, so ensure the download of the 32-bit/x86 JRE binary.
• Download the jdk8u372-b07 binary checksum file: OpenJDK8U-jre_x86-32_windows_hotspot_8u372b07.zip.sha256.txt
• Download the MegaRAID Storage Manager v17.05.06.00 installation package.

2. Plug-in the USB stick on the DIVAR IP and copy the installation files. (Assume: C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads):

3. Set up the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

• Open the PowerShell and validate the integrity of the JRE binary (assume: C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads):

# Checksum value available in the file:_ _OpenJDK8U-jre_x86-32_windows_hotspot_8u372b07.zip.sha256.txt

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 OpenJDK8U-jre_x86-32_windows_hotspot_8u372b07.zip

• Unzip the OpenJRE file in your desired location (assume: C:\jre folder).

mkdir C:\jre

tar -xf OpenJDK8U-jre_x86-32_windows_hotspot_8u372b07.zip -C C:\jre

• Create the JRE_HOME as a system-wide variable.

setx /M JRE_HOME C:\jre\jdk8u372-b07-jre

• To validate the variable creation, close the PowerShell and open a new window to ensure the variable is loaded and run the command:

# Expected result: C:\jre\jdk8u372-b07-jre

$Env:JRE_HOME

Upgrade the MegaRaid Storage Manager application

 1. Unzip the zip file (assume: C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads):

tar -xf 17.05.06.00_MSM_Windows.zip

2. Ensure the files have not been corrupted during download:

# MSM17050600.zip checksum is available in the MD5CheckSum.txt file

Get-FileHash -Algorithm MD5 MSM17050600.zip

3. Unzip the MSM17050600.zip file:

tar -xf MSM17050600.zip

4. Run the setup.exe installation file to upgrade the MSM:

cd DISK1

.\setup.exe /s /v"/qn UPGRADEONLY=1 SETUPTYPE=Complete"

5. The upgrade will run in the background silently up to a minute. Open the MegaRaid Storage Manager application afterwards and the new version should be available.

Note: A README file is available in the 17.05.06.00 MSM with detailed information about the upgrade. It can be used to support the installation process or troubleshooting.
