Abstract
An online system for update compatibility verification is provided, that enables the compatibility of a proposed update to be verified against a current storage system configuration prior to be implemented on the storage system. Updates, in this context, include hardware updates, firmware updates, software updates, and combinations of updates. In connection with initiating implementation of an update on a storage system, the current storage system configuration information is used by the update compatibility verification system to determine whether the update has been identified as having caused errors or performance degradations in other similarly configured storage systems, and hence is not compatible with the storage system based on the current storage system configuration. In instances where the update compatibility verification system determines that the update is not compatible with the current storage system configuration, the update is prohibited from being applied to the storage system.
