Abstract
A method of modifying the software configuration of a storage system includes receiving a download package at the storage system via a network connection. The download package is for use in performing a software installation process in the storage system and includes an archive of files and a metadata entity appended to the archive. The metadata entity includes a first set of metadata. The method further includes using the first set of metadata in the storage system to perform a set of preliminary checks for the software installation process.
