IBM Storwize series device sometimes takes too long to upload file when updating your device.
There are two reasons for this problem. The first may be due to the shutdown of the Tomcat services that enable the IBM interface to work.
The second reason is that the firmware installation disk is full.
If the firmware file upload process takes too long, possible reasons may be as follows;
1-The tomcat service of Config.node node2(01-2, backview right) may not be working properly. To fix it, SSH to the cluster IP ( ) and run the command below. It only causes a few minutes of WEB GUI downtime.
satask restartservice -service tomcat 01-2
2-The folder on the storage where you will upload the firmware file may be full. Run the following commands to empty it.
svctask cleardumps -prefix /home/admin/upgrade 1
svctask cleardumps -prefix /home/admin/upgrade 2
Then start the upload again
