5-24 Sun StorEdge 3000 Family FRU Installation Guide • May 2004
To check that you have the latest firmware, go to:
http://sunsolve.sun.com
and select Patch Portal. Browse in the Sun Alert Patch Report, or check the release
notes for your array for firmware patch information.
b. Check the number on each I/O controller module faceplate where there is a
four-digit number such as 03/50 or 04/50.
Both I/O controller modules must have the same first two digits which represent
a SES/PLD firmware level in the module. If the two modules have two different
numbers, for example 03 and 04, you must upgrade one I/O controller module to
the higher level or both modules to the latest SES/PLD level. For more
information, refer to “SES Firmware Update Sometimes Required with I/O
Controller Module Replacements” on page 5-8.
c. If the firmware versions of the two I/O controller modules do not match,
download the latest firmware to each I/O controller module to ensure that they
have the latest firmware and the same firmware.
To download new versions of controller firmware, disk drive firmware, or
SES/PLD firmware, use one of the following tools and check the release notes for
your array, or Sun Solve for the latest firmware patch:
■ Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI (with an in-band connection, for Linux and
Windows hosts, and for servers running the Solaris operating environment)
■ Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service program (with an in-band
connection, for Solaris and Windows hosts)
■ Firmware application (only for downloading controller firmware from a
Windows host with an out-of-band serial port connection)
18. The new RAID array requires new cabling and first-time configuration.
For cabling and configuration instructions, refer to Chapters 4 and 5 in the
installation manual.
