a. If you are not already logged in to the TSSC, log in with user ID service
and password service.
b. Right-click on the blue desktop, and from the IBM TS3000 System Console
menu, select Browser Functions → SM GUI Functions → Launch GUI.
Note: If you receive a message that the DS Storage Manager GUI is not
installed, you need to install it using the supplied TS3000 System Console
Graphical User Interface CD version 10.60.x5.16 Use step 3 on page 136 below
to perform the installation, and return to this step after DS Storage Manager
is installed. If the DS Storage Manager GUI is already installed, verify the
version by selecting Help → About. If the DS Storage Manager version is
below 10.60.x5.16 use step 3 on page 136 below to install the new version of
DS Storage Manager and return to this step. The new version of DS Storage
Manager will replace the previous version.
c. If multiple storage systems are listed, you will need to identify the storage
system you are updating. Click on a storage system in the left navigation
pane. When the subsystem list appears in the right pane, click to highlight
the storage system, right-click on it, and select Locate Storage Subsystem
from the drop-down menu. The indicator lights on the storage subsystem
will flash in blue until you click OK. If the storage system you want to
update is not listed, or you are using DS Storage Manager for the first time
and no systems are displayed, select Edit → Add Storage Subsystem. When
prompted in the Add New Storage Subsystem menu, enter the In-Band IP
address of the storage subsystem, and click Add. The DS Storage Manager
will attempt to locate the subsystem. If it is successful, it will be added to
the storage list, if it is not, verify the IP addresses entered.
d. Once the correct subsystem has been identified, in the right pane, the
storage subsystem should display as Optimal. If it does not, resolve any
failure indictions before proceeding with the firmware upgrade. If you
cannot resolve a failure condition and return the system to optimal status,
contact your next level of IBM support.
e. If the storage displays as optimal status, double-click to open the array. At
the Synchronize window, click Cancel. If prompted for a cache subsystem
password, enter ibm2serv. Click No when prompted to change the
password.
Attention: Do not change the password when prompted. This password
must not change to preserve access for service.
