IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide
Before you begin
Verify that the microcode level running on the TSSC is the current level. In order
to be compatible withProtecTIER version 2.5, the TSSC must be running microcode
version 5.7.x or higher. To determine the current version of the microcode on the
TSSC, go to "Checking the TSSC microcode level" on page 74.
If the microcode version on the TSSC is not current, you must bring it up to the
current level. In order to bring the TSSC up to the current level, you must perform
a code load, which will rebuild the hard disk drive.
About this task
Attention:
v Rebuilding the hard disk drive will permanently destroy any local data present
on the drive. Using the Product Recovery CD-ROM will return the console to its
"as shipped" state.
v Do not load or attempt to use the Product Recovery CD-ROM on any machine
type other than 6579, 6792, 8480, 8482, 8485, 8836, or 8849. If you use the
Product Recovery CD-ROM on any other machine type, the installation will fail
and that machine will be unusable.
v You must back up the TS3000 System Console configuration before you perform
a code load. Refer to the related topics in IBM System Storage TS3000 System
Console (TSSC) Maintenance Information for detailed instructions for backing up
and restoring configuration data.
v Do not attempt to restore configuration settings from a v1.x.x console onto a
v3.x.x or higher console. The files are incompatible. V2.x.x files are compatible
with v3.x.x or higher.
v After performing the procedure below, you will need to reload any
application(s) specific to the products displayed in the Attached Systems list,
such as TS7650, TS7740, or attached control units. Types of applications that may
need to be reloaded include Storage Manager GUIs, ProtecTIER Manager GUI,
and Information Centers for TS7700, for example. The actual applications will
depend upon the systems that are attached to the TSSC. Refer to the IBM System
Storage TS3000 System Console (TSSC) Maintenance Information for additional
information.
Procedure
To bring the TSSC up to the current microcode level:
1. If necessary, power-on the TSSC.
2. At the login prompt, log in with the user name root and password admin.
3. Insert the System Console Product Recovery CD-ROM into the TSSC's
CD-ROM drive and press Enter.
4. If you are currently logged into the TSSC, right-click on the TSSC's blue
desktop. The IBM TS3000 System Console menu displays.
5. Click Logout, then click OK. You are returned to the login screen.
6. Click Restart.
7. When prompted to restart, click OK.
After the restart completes, the message below displays:
