IMPORTANT: 1. Hard disk drives ST31000424SS or ST32000444SS that are using firmware older then BC26 will require that firmware version BE51 be downloaded to the hard disk drives prior to upgrading to newer drive firmware. 2. Hard disk drives HUA722050CLA330, HUA722075CLA330, and HUA722010CLA330 may be shipped with a later level of firmware, JP0ZH3QA, than what is available in this package. The 3QA firmware was created only for manufacturing issues and is functionally equivalent to prior levels of firmware. There is no need to upgrade an installed drive to the 3QA firmware level. 1.3 Enhancements See corresponding Change History document for more information. 1.4 Level of Recommendation IBM considers this update to be highly recommended for all customers. IBM strongly recommends applying the HDD firmware at the next possible maintenance window. 1.5 Dependencies IMPORTANT: Always check the storage subsystem controller firmware README for any required minimum version of the attached drive expansion enclosure ESM firmware for that particular controller firmware release. Update the ESM firmware using either the Storage Manager client program. Be sure to follow the following list of prerequisites before updating hard disk firmware. - For Hard Disk Drive firmware updates, ensure that all activity to the controller is stopped. If you are unsure about the sequence of firmware updates for various components in the DS3000 storage subsystem configuration, please call IBM Support at 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) before proceeding with the firmware upgrades. ___________________________ 2.0 Installation and Setup ___________________________ 2.1 Ensure that all activities to the controllers is stopped while performing hard disk drive (HDD) firmware updates with all levels of controller firmware. The storage subsystems can update all drives in a configuration for up to four different drive types at the same time. For DS Storage Manager Client version 2.x or 10.x, perform the following steps to download hard disk drive firmware: NOTE: Updating hard disk drive firmware for either ST31000424SS or ST32000444SS requires that firmware version BE51 be downloaded to the hard disk drives prior to upgrading to firmware version BC26 or later. a. THE DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL REQUIRE DOWNTIME if the DS Storage Manager version 11.20 host software in conjunction with controller firmware version 8.20.xx.xx and higher is not being used. In those configurations, when updating drive firmware, ensure that no HOST I/O is being sent to the storage controllers. b. Open the Subsystem Management window. c.
