Replacing A Nim 1060 With A Nim 1200; Prerequisites - Hitachi 2000 Series Hardware Reference Manual

• If the FSA/FSX module does not have a package file pre-loaded, you must
load the package via the SSLoader.
• If the FSA/FSX module does have a package file, check the currently
loaded package version against the version recorded in step 3. If the
package already loaded on the FSA/FSX module is older than the version
recorder in step 3, you must load the most current firmware package via
the SSLoader.
If it is necessary to reload software, reload the complete software image file (do
not strip unused files). Refer to the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform
System Installation Guide for instructions on using SSLoader and loading the
software.
8. Perform steps 7 through 11 of the procedure described in
with a NIM 1200," on page
9. Swap in the FSB and SIM according to the procedure described in
Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform™ Module (Non-Upgrade)," on page
10. Reboot and verify that the hardware database has been updated.
To verify hardware database has been updated, enter the following CLI command:
dblog |grep HWDB
The output of this command should be similar to the following:
HWDB scores: NIM 7, FSM 7, SIM 7
If any module has a score lower then 7, the hardware database is incorrect. In this
situation, contact Hitachi Data Systems Technical Resource Center (TRC) for
assistance.
