Upgrading individual components in the DS5000 storage controller
The script in Example 8-7 can be useful for testing a new firmware level on a subset of the
environment. It is included to show the slight differences in the commands that are required.
In particular, the drive update command is different when you are not using the parallel
upgrade functionality.
Example 8-7 SMcli script to update individual components in the DS4000 storage subsystem
To update the controller only:
SMcli 9.11.218.163 9.11.218.164 -c "download storagesubsystem firmware
file=\"C:\FW_06100600_06100100.dlp\";"
To update the NVSRAM only:
SMcli 9.11.218.163 9.11.218.164 -c "download storagesubsystem NVSRAM
file=\"C:\N1742F700R910V03.dlp\";"
To update a particular ESM:
SMcli 9.11.218.163 9.11.218.164 -c "download tray [1] firmware file=\"C:\esm9326.s3r\";"
To update a single drive:
SMcli 9.11.218.163 9.11.218.164 -c "download drive [2,3] firmware
file=\"C:\ST336732FC.LOD\";"
Creating and mapping logical drives on AIX
The script in Example 8-8 on page 496 automates the creation of a logical drive and maps it
to a storage partition for use by a specified hostgroup. The SMcli commands are platform
independent, but the script example is from an AIX host and includes some recommended
steps to make the storage available to the operating system. This example can be used if a
large number of LUNs need to be created from predefined arrays and to existing hosts.
