Justin,
You are right where you can be. That machine (2078-124) can't install
anything higher than 8.2.1 as per
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/hardware-interoperability-matrix-storwize-v5000-software-levels
You might get a FW update once in a blue moon if a big defect is found but
it is mostly a done deal. I would do an analysis and see how much you can
save by going HWMA only towards a new box that can run 8.6 (The new boxes,
even the low end 5045 can run the anti ransomware solutions).
TL DR; You can't update, until a new 8.2.1.x release comes out

Rob, that's over my head as a developer conscripted to play admin.

I check the Storwize monthly and apply updates when it prompts me but only
within the same release. I'm currently at 8.2.1.17. Fix Central lists up
thru 8.6. Should I go to 8.6?
