# Install Update 2.1 on your StorSimple device
# Install Update 2.2 on your StorSimple device

## Overview

This tutorial explains how to install Update 2.1 on a StorSimple device running an earlier software version via the Azure classic portal and using the hotfix method. The hotfix method is used when a gateway is configured on a network interface other than DATA 0 of the StorSimple device and you are trying to update from a pre-Update 1 software version.
This tutorial explains how to install Update 2.2 on a StorSimple device running an earlier software version via the Azure classic portal and using the hotfix method. The hotfix method is used when a gateway is configured on a network interface other than DATA 0 of the StorSimple device and you are trying to update from a pre-Update 1 software version.

Update 2.1 includes device software, WMI, and iSCSI updates. If updating from a pre-Update 2 version, you will also be required to apply LSI driver, Spaceport, Storport, and disk firmware updates. The device software, WMI, iSCSI, LSI driver, Spaceport, and Storport fixes are non-disruptive updates and can be applied via the Azure classic portal. The disk firmware updates are disruptive updates and can only be applied via the Windows PowerShell interface of the device.

> - You may not see Update 2.1 immediately because we do a phased rollout of the updates. Scan for updates in a few days again as this Update will become available soon.
> - A set of manual and automatic pre-checks are done prior to the install to determine the device health in terms of hardware state and network connectivity. These pre-checks are performed only if you apply the updates from the Azure classic portal.
> - We recommend that you install the software and driver updates via the Azure classic portal. You should only go to the Windows PowerShell interface of the device (to install updates) if the pre-update gateway check fails in the portal. Depending upon the version you are updating from, the updates may take 1.5-2.5 hours to install. The maintenance mode updates must be installed via the Windows PowerShell interface of the device. As maintenance mode updates are disruptive updates, these will result in a down time for your device.
> - If running the optional StorSimple Snapshot Manager, ensure that you have upgraded your Snapshot Manager version to Update 2.1 prior to updating the device.
> - If running the optional StorSimple Snapshot Manager, ensure that you have upgraded your Snapshot Manager version to Update 2.2 prior to updating the device.

If you are applying Update 2 or later (including Update 2.1), Microsoft will be able to pull additional diagnostic information from the device. As a result, when our operations team identifies devices that are having problems, we are better equipped to collect information from the device and diagnose issues. By accepting Update 2 or later, you allow us to provide this proactive support.

Use this procedure if you fail the gateway check when trying to install the updates through the Azure classic portal. The check fails as you have a gateway assigned to a non-DATA 0 network interface and your device is running a software version prior to Update 1.

The software versions that can be upgraded using the hotfix method are:

- Update 0.1, 0.2, 0.3
- Update 1, 1.1, 1.2
- Update 2
- Update 2. 2.1

#### Download updates for a device running Update 2 software
#### Download updates for a device running Update 2.1 software

**If your device is running Update 2.1**, you must download only the device software update KB3179904. Only install the binary file prefaced with 'all-hcsmdssoftwareudpate'. Do not install the Cis and the MDS agent update prefaced with `all-cismdsagentupdatebundle`. Failure to do so will result in an error.


#### Download updates for a device running Update 2 or 2.1 software

**If your device is running Update 2**, you must download and install the following hotfixes in the prescribed order:

| Order | KB | Description | Update type | Install time |
|--------|-----------|-------------------------|------------- |-------------|
| 1. | KB3162954 | Software update &#42; | Regular | ~ 45 mins |
| 1. | KB3179954 | Software update &#42; | Regular | ~ 45 mins |
| 2. | KB3146621 | iSCSI package | Regular | ~ 20 mins |
| 3. | KB3103616 | WMI package | Regular | ~ 12 mins |


&#42; *Note, software update consists of two binary files: `all-hcsmdssoftwareupdate_d5db7c7a86fc0fffd7fd7e8a1b58584ca4850936.exe` and `all-cismdsagentupdatebundle_a3b6e721045c9229f62ffe3374fb5715bf3699e3.exe`. The device software update `all-hcsmdssoftwareupdate_d5db7c7a86fc0fffd7fd7e8a1b58584ca4850936.exe` must be installed before the Cis and Mds agent `all-cismdsagentupdatebundle_a3b6e721045c9229f62ffe3374fb5715bf3699e3.exe`. You must also restart the active controller via the `Restart-HcsController` cmdlet after you apply the Cis and MDS agent update (and before applying the remaining updates).*
