METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UPDATING SOFTWARE PACKAGES IN A STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system are described updating software packages in a storage system. The method includes receiving software packages for updating the software packages of storage arrays from the plurality of storage arrays. Each of the received software packages correspond to a storage array of the plurality of storage arrays. A time window for updating software packages of the one or more storage arrays is identified, based on an average count of input/output operations per second (IOPS) associated with each storage array. Virtual memories are allocated, within the identified time window, to a set of storage arrays from one or more storage arrays, for uploading each of the software packages. The software packages are uploaded in the allocated virtual memories. The software packages of each storage array of the set are simultaneously updated, by receiving each of the software package from the allocated virtual memory of corresponding storage array.
