Hi Bill, I’m Dylan Locsin from Dell’s Storage Product Group, working on EqualLogic with Thomas (sjolshag). If you have not yet spoken to support, please do so immediately, since you are running 5.0.1. Our engineering team identified a few changes they needed to make to 5.0.1, and they’re planning to release an updated version of the firmware (v5.0.2) on or around August 30, 2010. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks, Dylan

Hi, I’m from Dell’s storage product group. Thanks for the video. As you noted, currently we recommend that customers do not upgrade to firmware versions 5.0.0 and 5.0.1. Instead they should wait for the next release, which is expected in the near future. More details will be sent soon to the customer base. If customers have any questions, please contact Dell EqualLogic support.
Did you need to restart the array afterwards? The firmware upgrade notes list that as a post-upgrade task. If so, it make the equallogic very-non-enterprise.

@tokomok There are 2 fully redundant controllers in the EqualLogic. It fails over automatically between the 2 controllers as it does firmware upgrades to both controllers. The restart of the controller due to the upgrade is completely transparent the iSCSI clients. I'm always in awe every time I upgrade firmware on these systems.
