CAUTION: IBM does not support the combination of EVERY DS4000/DS5000 external drive enclosure type and model in every DS4000/DS5000 Storage Subsystem configuration. Restrictions on the connection of drive expansion enclosures, that differ by model and type, to DS4000/DS5000 Storage Subsystems are documented in the appropriate DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems and drive expansion enclosures Installation, User's and Maintenance Guides. This information is also documented in the IBM System Storage DS4000/DS5000 Hard Drive and Storage Expansion Enclosure Installation and Migration Guide that is available from the IBM System Storage Disk Storage Systems Technical Support web site and in the marketing announcements for your storage subsystem models. Note: The latest version of the change history file contains the complete change history for all versions (including the latest version) of the ESM firmware and the drive firmware that are included in this package. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP500 ESM is 9166. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP700 ESM is 9330. The version 9330 ESM firmware incorporated a fix for a bug that was introduced in the ESM firmware version 9327. The bug resulted in the ESM i2c bus timeout being incorrectly set to a value that caused device access failures via i2c buses, which, in turn, causing the DS4000 to report unnecessary error events to the DS4000 controllers. It also caused 280D errors posted in the subsystem event log after the ESM was upgraded to 9327, 9328 or 9329 version. IMPORTANT: - For the EXP700 drive expansion enclosures, the ESM firmware must be at version 9326 or higher if the DS4000 subsystems that they are connected to are going to be upgraded to controller firmware version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher. The DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher might not recognize EXP700 with ESM firmware 9324 or earlier. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP710 ESM is 9682. Version 9661 and higher is required to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810 with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700 and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx and 6.60.xx.xx. Note: The DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx or higher is required for EXP710 drive expansion enclosure attachment. IMPORTANT: - If the existing controller firmware version is 6.12.27.00 or earlier, do not upgrade the EXP710 ESM firmware to version 9639 or later without upgrading the controller firmware to version 6.12.27.03 or later first. Drives might be incorrectly marked as failed if the EXP710 ESM firmware is upgraded to version 9639 or higher with controller firmware is at version 6.12.27.00 or earlier. - EXP710 ESM firmware 9661 requires controller firmware 06.12.40.00 or later before upgrading for a similar reason. The microcode(firmware)level for the EXP5000, EXP810, EXP520, EXP420 and EXP395 ESM is 98G0. Important: The EXP810s and EXP420s that are connected to storage subsystems with controller firmware version 6.60.xx.xx and older installed should be at ESM firmware version 98D6 instead of 98G0. Note: - EXP420 is supported attached to the DS4200 only - EXP520 is supported attached to the DS5020 only. - EXP395 is supported attached to DS3950 only. - EXP5000 is supported with DS5100 and DS5300 only. - DCS370080E is supported attached to the DCS370080C only. - EXP810 is supported attached to the DS5020 and DS3950 with the purchase of appropriate premium feature pack. - EXP810 is supported attached to DS5100/DS5300 storage subsystem via RPQs. - EXP810 with ESM firmware 9898 or higher is supported attaching to the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700, and DS4800 subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx and later. Version 9898 and higher is also required to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810 with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700 and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx, 6.60.xx.xx and 7.xx.xx.xx and to support the intermixing of the Fibre Channel and SATA E- DDMs within the EXP810 drive expansion enclosure in any storage subsystem configuration. - The DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware version 06.16.xx.xx or higher is required for EXP810 drive expansion enclosure attachment. - DS5000 EXP5000, mixed with EXP810s are supported attached to DS5100/DS5300 storage subsystems at ESM firmware level 98C2 and higher. 98C1 is the initial ESM firmware level for the DS5000 EXP5000. - 98C5 is the initial ESM firmware release for EXP520. - 98D0 is the initial ESM firmware release for EXP395. The ESM microcode(firmware)level for the EXP5060 is 9921. The version of the ATA translator firmware in the EXP5060 drive slots should be LW1613. This version of ATA translator firmware will support 3TB and higher capacity drives. The 3TB and higher capacity drives inserted in the EXP5060 drive slots with ATA translator firmware version LW1428 will be reported as "Incompatible" drives. The ESM firmware level for the DCS3700 model 80E is 0363. The ESM firmware level for the EXP3500 (EXP3512 EXP3524) is 0363. 0316 is the initial ESM firmware level for the EXP3500. IMPORTANT: FRUs are starting to ship with these levels of ESM Firmware. If the ESMs are not updated when the FRUs arrive at the higher level, the down level ESM will need updating at that time. The following drives are supported with the DS3000/DS4000/DS5000 products. Initial drive firmware releases are not included in this package but are mentioned here for your reference. This release contains the following firmware for IBM FC-SAS Hard Disk Drives: IMPORTANT: The DS5020, DS3950, EXP5000, EXP810, EXP520, and EXP395 FC-SAS drives must have the FC-SAS interposer firmware version 2264 or later installed. Some drives with FC-SAS interposer firmware version earlier than 2264 report incorrect inquiry information during Start of Day. This causes the controller firmware to make the drive uncertified (incompatible), which in turn causes the drive to no longer be accessible for I/O. This condition will also cause the associated array to go offline. Since the array is no longer accessible, the controller firmware may not recover the cache for all LUNs under this array. This behavior may result in data not being written. The FC-SAS interposer firmware version 2268 is available in the ESM/HDD firmware package version 1.78 or later for the following drives ST9300605SS, ST9600205SS, ST9900805SS, ST9300505SS, ST9600105SS, ST9900705SS, ST9600204SS, ST9600104SS, ST33000650SS, SG9XCA2E200GEIBM, SG9XCA2E400GEIBM, and HUS723030ALS640. FC-SAS drives: These drives are supported with the following EXP and DS units: DS5000/EXP5000, DS5020/EXP520 and DS3950/EXP395.

The SATA drive CRU might displayed the last four characters of the drive firmware as the Package Version instead of the values shown above for certain combinations of the drive and ATA translator card firmware. IMPORTANT: - Customers with IBM branded Hitachi FC drives should verify that these drives are at drive firmware JFQ8 before doing a controller firmware or ESM firmware download. It has been observed that customers with older versions of the Hitachi FC drive firmware have experienced failure of these Hitachi drives during controller firmware and ESM firmware downloads. Upgrading the drive firmware to JFQ8 will prevent this problem. - There are two versions of the fibre channel drive firmware download files. These two versions are placed in the FC_HDD_SM8x_format and FC_HDD_SM9x_format folders. The version of the currently installed controller firmware in the DS4000 storage subsystem dictates which version of the drive firmware files to use for updating the drive firmware. If the current DS4000 storage subsystem firmware version is of 06.xx.xx.xx, use the firmware files in the FC_HDD_SM9x_format folder. Otherwise, if the current DS4000 storage subsystem firmware version is of 05.xx.xx.xx and earlier, use the firmware files in the FC_HDD_SM8x_format folder instead. Note: Only drives that are supported with controller firmware version 5.xx.xx.xx had firmware downloadable files in the format that is compatible with controller firmware version 5.xx.xx.xx. - THE DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL REQUIRE DOWNTIME. However, the DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.xx.xx.xx and later installed can update all drives in a DS4000 storage subsystem configuration for up to four different drive types at the same time. - FOR EACH DRIVE CAPACITY OPTION (500GB,700GB,or 1TB), THERE MIGHT BE MULTIPLE PRODUCT IDS FOR THE DRIVES IN THAT OPTION AS INDICATED IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION. Always use the drive product ID information as displayed in the DS4000 drive properties window or the DS4000 subsystem profile to select the appropriate drive firmware file (as stated in section 1.4 Level Recommendation ....) for download. - The SATA E-DDM and EV-DDM will have different product IDs. Always use the drive product ID information as displayed in the DS4000 drive properties window or the DS4000 subsystem profile to select the appropriate drive firmware file (as stated in section 1.4 Level Recommendation ....) for download. Note: As always, IBM recommends that customers employ frequent and secure means of backing up the data. Refer to the IBM Support Web Site for the latest Firmware and NVSRAM files for the IBM DS4000/FAStT Storage Subsystems. http://www.ibm.com/systems/storage/support/disk/ 1.2 Limitations UPDATING ESM FIRMWARE REQUIRES DOWNTIME (NO HOST I/O) IF THE DS4000 CONTROLLER FIRMWARE LEVEL IS 05.21.XX.XX OR LOWER. In addition, a special version of the Storage Manager SMclient program called the Storage Manager Field Tool must be used to download ESM and hard disk firmware/Microcodes. UPDATING HARD DISK MICROCODE REQUIRES DOWNTIME (NO HOST I/O). *Notes: -DS5000 models 1818-51A (DS5100), and 1818-53A (DS5300) support only EXP5000, EXP810, and EXP5060 enclosures. -EXP5000 is not supported attached to DS4100, DS4200, DS4300, DS4400, DS4500, DS4700, or DS4800 storage subsystems. The following table shows the first four digits of the latest controller firmware versions that are currently available for various models of the DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems. --------------------------------------------------- | IBM Storage | Controller firmware version | | Subsystem Model | | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS5300 (1818) | 07.77.xx.xx | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS5100 (1818) | 07.77.xx.xx | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS5020 (1814) | 07.77.xx.xx | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4800 (1815) | 07.60.xx.xx | | | (07.60.28.xx or later only) | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4700 (1814) | 07.60.xx.xx | | | (07.60.28.xx or later only) | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4500 (1742) | 06.60.xx.xx | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4400 (1742) | 06.12.56.xx | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4300 Turbo | 06.60.xx.xx | | Option (1722) | | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4300 | 06.60.xx.xx | | Standard Option | | | (1722) | | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4200 (1814) | 07.60.28.xx | | | (07.60.28.xx or later only) | |------------------|--------------------------------| | DS4100 (1724) | 06.12.56.xx | | (standard dual | | | Single | | | controller Opt.)| | |---------------------------------------------------| | DS3950 (1814) | 07.77.xx.xx | | | (7.60.28.xx or later only) | |---------------------------------------------------| | DCS3700 (1818) | 07.77.xx.xx | |---------------------------------------------------| | FAStT500 (3552) | 05.30.xx.xx | |------------------|--------------------------------| | FAStT200 (3542) | 05.30.xx.xx | --------------------------------------------------- The latest version of storage manager host software version 10.77.xx.xx should be used to manage and update code in the DS storage subsystems. The only exception is for DS storage subsystems with controller firmware 5.34..xx and earlier, storage manager host software version 10.36.xx.xx should be used instead. SVC supports concurrent ESM firmware upgrades for DS4000 models when they are running either 06.23.05.00 or later controller firmware. However, controllers running firmware levels earlier than 06.23.05.00 will not be supported for concurrent ESM upgrades. Customers in this situation, who wish to gain support for concurrent ESM upgrades, will need to first upgrade the DS4000 controller firmware level to 06.23.05.00 or later. This action is a controller firmware upgrade, not an ESM upgrade and concurrent controller firmware upgrades are already supported in conjunction with SVC. Once the controller firmware is at 06.23.05.00 or later, the ESM firmware can be upgraded concurrently. 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. a. The microcode (firmware) level for the DCS370080E is 0363. This is also the initial ship level. A configuration file has also been included (IBM_DCS3700_80E_HDR_0103.DL). This is also the initial ship level. b. The 9166 ESM firmware is needed for the EXP500 drive enclosure ESMs to prevent accidental corruption from downloading the wrong firmware to the ESM. In the environments where there are EXP500s and EXP700s enclosures attached to the same DS4000 storage subsystem, it is IMPERATIVE that all EXP500s ESMs are updated to 9166 before the EXP700 ESM firmware is applied. c. The 9330 ESM firmware is needed for the ESM of the EXP700 drive enclosure ESMs to incorporate the important fix of the bug in the EXP700 ESM firmware version 9327 and 9328 which caused large number of the "280D Critical - Drive enclosure component failed or removed" errors to be posted to the subsystem event log incorrectly. It is preferred over the other versions (9326, 9327 or 9328) of the EXP700 ESM firmware that must be loaded into the EXP700 drive expansion enclosures before the controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx is downloaded into the DS4000 storage subsystem because the DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher might not recognize the EXP700 enclosures with ESM firmware version 9324 or earlier. d. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP710 ESM is 9682. Version 9661 and higher is required to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810 with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700 and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx. Configuration file Version 2.52 for EXP710 has been included in this package. Version 2.51 has been removed. The file is required for the SBOD ESM fault tolerance feature used in conjunction with 7.50.xx.xx or greater controller firmware. This feature provides improved Predictive Fault Analysis (PFA) for each switched-FC port connected to a drive. This allows FC-switch based ESMs to bypass a drive port if any of the established port exception rate thresholds are exceeded. e. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP5000,EXP810 and EXP420 ESM is 98G0. EXP810 will be supported attached to DS5100/DS5300 storage subsystem, and can be mixed with the EXP5000 attached with these DS5000 subsystems. EXP810 will also be supported attaching to the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700, and DS4800 with the release of this ESM firmware 98D0 and higher. Important: The EXP810s and EXP420s that are connected to storage subsystems with controller firmware version 6.60.xx.xx and older installed should be at ESM firmare version 98D6 instead of 98G0. Version 9898 and higher ESM firmware is needed for the EXP810 drive enclosure ESMs to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810 with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700, and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx or later or the attachment of EXP810s in DS4300 and DS4500 subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx or later. A configuration file for EXP810, EXP420 and EXP5000 has been included in this package. The file is required for the SBOD ESM fault tolerance feature used in conjunction with 7.50.xx.xx or greater controller firmware. This feature provides improved Predictive Fault Analysis (PFA) for each switched-FC port connected to a drive. This allows FC-switch based ESMs to bypass a drive port if any of the established port exception rate thresholds are exceeded. A minimum of ESM firmware version 98C2 is required to install this configuration file. The latest version of the configuration file is FD2.50. Units with older version of the configuration file might have optimal fans being incorrectly marked as failed. f. The fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings - ST336605FC, ST373405FC, ST318453FC, ST336753FC, ST373453FC, ST373307FC, ST336607FC, ST3146807FC - need to be updated with the latest drive firmware files in this web download package. These firmware files contained the the fix to the drive handling of Fibre Channel LIPs and LPEs primitives, which is required to prevent drives from being incorrectly marked as failures when having EXP810s in the DS4300 and the DS4500 drive loop(s.) The firmware version for ST336605FC and ST373405FC is B34C. The firmware version for ST318453FC, ST336753FC and ST373453FC is B95E. The firmware version for ST373307FC, ST336607FC, ST3146807FC and ST318307FC is B35F. g. The fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings - ST336754FC, ST373454FC and ST3146854FC - need to be updated with the drive firmware version B96B, which contains the fix to the drive handling of Fibre Channel LIPs and LPEs primitives, which is required to prevent drives from being incorrectly marked as failures when having EXP810s in the DS4300 and the DS4500 drive loop(s.) h. The DS4000 fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings HUS103073FLF21, HUS103030FLF21 and HUS103014FLF21 must have their drive firmware updated to JFQ8 before hot inserting any of the new DS4000 4Gbps hard drive options into the same DS4000 EXP drive expansion enclosure that these drives are in. This code has the fix for a potential incompatibility problem with the new DS4000 4Gbps hard drive options when hot inserting them in the same DS4000 EXP drive expansion enclosure. The 4Gbps drives will be operated at 2Gbps mode in this condition. It also incorporate maintenance fixes for the several low- severity problems. i. The 4Gbps fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings - ST336854FC, ST373554FC and ST3146954FC - need to be updated with the drive firmware version B90A (minimium level). This firmware file contains the fix to the drive handling of Fibre Channel LIPs and LPEs primitives, which is required to prevent drives from being incorrectly marked as failures when having EXP810s in the DS4300 and the DS4500 drive loop(s.) j. The 4Gbps fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings - MAX3036FD, MAX3073FD, and MAX3147FD need to be updated with the drive firmware version S708. This firmware contains the fix to the drive reporting an invalid frame as an internal hardware error. k. The 4Gbps fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings - ST373455FC, ST3146855FC, and ST3300655FC need to be updated with the drive firmware version B977 (minimum level). l. The EXP520 ESM firmware version is 98G0. A configuration file for EXP520 has also been included in this package. The file is required for the SBOD ESM fault tolerance feature used in conjunction with 7.60.xx.xx or greater controller firmware. This feature provides improved Predictive Fault Analysis (PFA) for each switched-FC port connected to a drive. This allows FC-switch based ESMs to bypass a drive port if any of the established port exception rate thresholds are exceeded. A minimum of 98C5 ESM firmware is required to install the EXP520 configuration file. The latest version of the configuration file is FD2.50. Units with older version of the configuration file might have optimal fans being incorrectly marked as failed. m. The EXP5060 ESM firmware is 9921. The EXP5060 is shipped with ESM version 9919. It is highly recommended to upgrade the EXP5060 to version 9921 (included in package). Please consult the change list for details. The version of the ATA translator firmware in the EXP5060 drive slots should be LW1613. This version of ATA translator firmware will support 3TB and higher capacity drives. The 3TB and higher capacity drives inserted in the EXP5060 drive slots with ATA translator firmware version LW1428 will be reported as "Incompatible" drives. The configuration file version is 1.54. Units with older configuration file version might experience higher fan speed or erroneous temperature exceeded events. n. The EXP395 ESM firmware version is 98G0 (The EXP395 is shipped with ESM firmware 98D0). The latest version of the configuration file is FD2.50. Units with older version of the configuration file might have optimal fans being incorrectly marked as failed. When replacing an ESM, if the surviving ESM in an EXP100, EXP420, EXP710, EXP810, EXP5000, EXP395 or EXP5060 is downlevel and not updated before the ESM is replaced, depending on the the installed version of the ESM firmware, downtime may be needed to update the surviving ESM after the replacement is inserted. If the new ESM is installed before the surviving ESM is updated, the DS4000 controller will register an ESM hardware or firmware mismatch error in the Recovery Guru. The new ESM will function, but long term operation with a mismatch ESM firmware in a EXP drive expansion enclosure is not recommended. Customers who have updated to DS4000 Storage Manager 8.3 or higher and controller firmware 05.30.xx.xx or higher can update ESMs firmware online with no downtime if both ESMs are functional and ONLY ONE EXP enclosure at a time is selected in the ESM firmware download window for ESM firmware updating. CAUTION: Always check the documentation of the applications that generate IOs to the DS4000 storage subsystem for any restrictions or prerequisites that will need to be performed before performing concurrent ESM firmware downloads. The EXP420, EXP710, EXP810, EXP5000, EXP395 and EXP5060 drive expansion enclosures support automatic ESM firmware synchronization. When you install a new ESM into an existing EXP that is attached to a DS4000 storage subsystem that supports automatic ESM firmware synchronization, this feature resolves firmware mismatch conditions by automatically synchronizing the firmware in the new ESM with the firmware in the existing ESM. To enable automatic ESM firmware synchronization: 1. Verify that the DS4000 Storage Manager Event Monitor is installed and running. 2. Verify that the DS4000 storage subsystem that the EXP is attached to is defined in the Enterprise Management window of the DS4000 Storage Manager client (SMclient). IBM strongly recommends applying both the HDD and ESM firmware updates at the next possible maintenance window. 1.5 Dependencies IMPORTANT: Always check the DS4000/DS5000 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 DS4000 Storage Manager Field Tool (DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 5.21.xx.xx or earlier) or the DS4000 Storage Manager SMClient program (DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 5.3x.xx.xx or later). Be sure to follow the following list of prerequisites before updating hard disk or ESM firmware. - For Hard Disk Drive firmware updates, ensure that all activity to the controller is stopped. - For ESM updates, all IOs activity must be stopped if the DS4000 storage subsystem controllers are at any firmware below 05.30.xx.xx. In addition, if multiple storage expansion enclosures are selected for ESM firmware updating at the same time, all IOs activity must also be stopped even if the controllers are at any firmware 05.30.xx.xx or higher. - For ESM updates, all EXP500s need to be updated to 9166 before EXP700s can be updated to 9329 or 9330. - For EXP700, if the existing controller firmware version is 5.xx.xx.xx, do not upgrade the controller firmware to version 6.xx.xx.xx before upgrading the EXP700 ESM to version 9326 or higher. The DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher might not recognize EXP700 with ESM firmware 9324 or earlier. - If the existing controller firmware version is 6.12.27.00 or earlier, do not upgrade the EXP710 ESM firmware to version 9639 or later without upgrading the controller firmware to version 6.12.27.03 or later first. Drives might be incorrectly marked as failed if the EXP710 ESM firmware is upgraded to version 9639 or higher with controller firmware is at version 6.12.27.00 or earlier. EXP710 ESM firmware 9661 requires controller firmware 06.12.40.00 or later before upgrading for a similar reason. Note: Not all DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems support the latest controller firmware version 7.60.xx.xx. The latest controller firmware versions for the FAStT200 and FAStT500 storage subsystems are 05.30.xx.xx. In addition, the DS4300 storage subsystem with single controller option, the Ds4300 with dual controller option, the DS4400 and the DS4500 storage subsystems can only be updated to latest firmware version of 05.34.xx.xx, 6.60.xx.xx, 6.12.xx.xx and 6.60.xx.xx, respectively. If you are unsure about the sequence of firmware updates for various components in the DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystem configuration, please call IBM Support at 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) before proceeding with the firmware upgrades. DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware versions 6.12.16.xx or higher and EXP100 storage expansion enclosure ESM firmware version 9563 or higher are required to provide support for the new 400G SATA drive options and CRUs (P/Ns 39M4570 and 39M4575, respectively) in addition to the new 250G SATA drive CRUs (P/N 40K6837.) This new 250G SATA drive CRU is functionally equivalent to the previously-released CRUs (P/N 90P1349). ___________________________ 2.0 Installation and Setup ___________________________ 2.1 Applying ESM updates on DS4000 controllers with 04.01.xx.xx or 05.Ax.xx.xx (where A is < then 3 ie. 5.1x.xx.xx or 5.2x.xx.xx) firmware, use the IBM DS4000 Field Tool v8.21. See the README included with the utility for directions on how to apply updates. Ensure that all activity to the DS4000 controllers is stopped while performing ESM firmware updates with controller firmware 04.01.xx.xx or 05.2x.xx.xx. Allow approximately 5-10 minutes per ESM to complete the firmware update. This will require downtime. 2.2 Applying ESM updates on DS4000 Controllers with 05.3x.xx.xx firmware or higher. For more information on the ESM update procedure using the DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 8.3x, 8.4x or 9.x, see the on-line help included in the DS4000 Storage Manager Client. For DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 10.x, perform the following steps to download drive expansion ESM firmware: a. Open the Subsystem Management window. b. Click Advanced => Maintenance => Download => Environmental(ESM) Card Firmware. c. Follow the online instructions. For DS Storage Manager Client version 10.x and DS4000 subsystems with controller firmware 7.10.xx.xx and later only, perform the following steps to download drive expansion ESM Configuration settings file when it is available for the appropriate drive expansion enclosure models as indicated in section 1.4 Level of Recommendation of this readme file. a. Open the Subsystem Management window. b. Click Advanced => Maintenance => Download => Environmental(ESM) Configuration Settings c. Follow the online instructions. For DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 8.3x and 8.4x, perform the following steps to download drive expansion ESM firmware: a. Open the Subsystem Management window. b. Click Advanced => Download => Environmental(ESM) Card Firmware. c. Follow the online instructions. Application of ESM firmware on DS4000 Controllers with 05.3x.xx.xx firmware or higher should be performed by choosing only one EXP at a time, and done during non-peak utilization periods. CAUTION: Always check the documentation of the applications that generate IOs to the DS4000 storage subsystem for any restrictions or prerequisites that will need to be performed before performing concurrent ESM firmware downloads. If you have a maintenance window with downtime, you can stop all I/Os and update all the ESMs at one time. Allow approximately 5-10 minutes per ESM to complete the firmware update. Note: This same procedure is used to update the ESM configuration setting file. 2.3 Ensure that all activities to the controllers is stopped while performing hard disk drive (HDD) firmware updates with all levels of controller firmware. Allow approximately 3-5 minutes per HDD to complete the firmware update when the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware is at 05.xx.xx.xx or earlier. The DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.xx.xx.xx or higher can update the drive firmware of all the drives in a given DS4000 configuration for up to four different drive models at the same time; Thus, one could update all of the drives in the DS4000 configuration in the same amount of time that is needed to upgrade a single drive in the DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 05.xx.xx.xx or earlier. THE DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL REQUIRE DOWNTIME. However, the DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.xx.xx.xx installed can update all drives in a configuration for up to four different drive types at the same time. IMPORTANT: In the DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems with FC/SATA intermix premium feature enable, do not download the drive firmware to both SATA-technology hard drives and Fibre Channel-technology hard drives at the same time. Complete the drive firmware download to all of the drives of a drive technology (either SATA or FC) before downloading the drive firmware to the drives of the other drive technology (either FC or SATA). For DS Storage Manager Client version 10.x, perform the following steps to download drive firmware a. Schedule down time because the drive firmware upgrades require that there are no HOST I/Os to be sent to the DS4000 controllers. b. Open the Subsystem Management window. c. Click Advanced => Maintenance => Download => Drive Firmware. Follow the online instructions. Note: with controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx or later, multiple drives from up to four different drive types can be updated at the same time. For DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 8.3x and 8.4x, perform the following steps to download drive firmware a. Schedule down time because the drive firmware upgrades require that there are no HOST I/Os to be sent to the DS4000 controllers. b. Open the Subsystem Management window. c. Click Advanced => Download => Drive Firmware. Follow the online instructions. Note: with controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx or later, multiple drives from up to four different drive types can be updated at the same time. ______________________________ 3.0 Configuration Information ______________________________ 3.1 There is no special configuration required with the IBM DS4000/DS5000 Hard Disk Drive and ESM Firmware Update pack. _____________________ 4.0 Unattended Mode _____________________ 4.1 See the appropriate application tools for any possible unattended mode operations. _______________________________________ 5.0 WEB Sites and Support Phone Number _______________________________________ 5.1 IBM System Storage Disk Storage Systems Technical Support web site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/disk/ 5.2 IBM System Storage Marketing Web Site: http://www.ibm.com/systems/storage/disk/ 5.3 You can receive hardware service through IBM Services or through your IBM reseller, if your reseller is authorized by IBM to provide warranty service.
