a. If you are not already logged in to the TSSC, log in with user ID service
and password service.
b. Right-click 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 80 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 80 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 must identify the storage system
you are updating. Select a storage system in the left navigation pane. When
the subsystem list is displayed in the right pane, select the storage system,
right-click it, and select Locate Storage Subsystem from the menu. The
indicator lights on the storage subsystem 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 attempts to locate the subsystem
and add it to the storage list. If it cannot locate the subsystem, verify the IP
addresses entered.
d. After the correct subsystem has been identified, the storage subsystem is
displayed in the right pane as Optimal. If it is 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 status is displayed as Optimal, double-click to open the array.
At the Synchronize window, click Cancel. If prompted for a cache
subsystem password, type ibm2serv. Click No when prompted to change
the password.
Attention: Do not change the password when prompted. To preserve
access for service, this password must not change.
