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