To Convert A Sun Storedge 3900 Or 6900 Series To Sun Storedge San; Release; To Obtain The Sun Storedge San 4.0 Release Switch Firmware - Sun Microsystems StorEdge 3900 Series Reference And Service Manual

The switch firmware upgrade procedure also includes steps performed on the
Service Processor as explained below.
To Convert a Sun StorEdge 3900 or 6900 Series
to Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release
The Sun StorEdge SAN 4.0 Release management network must be prepared for the
transition of internal 1 Gbit switches.
1. You must assign IP addresses and optionally configure RARP for each new switch
on the network.
If the switches are going to use static addressing, the switches must be manually
configured (using the SANSurfer graphical user interface (GUI) from the service
processor) with the new IP addresses prior to removal from the private 192.168
network.
2. Follow the instructions to disable the monitoring on the front end switches (sw1a
and sw1b).
Remove the front end switches from the Storage Automated Diagnostic
Environment configuration, then unplug the Ethernet connections of those switches
from the Ethernet hub on the 192.168 private net inside the Sun StorEdge 3900 and
6900 series.
3. Plug the Ethernet connections from the Sun StorEdge network FC switch-8 or
switch-16 switches into the customer Ethernet LAN.
These are the switch connections formerly known as sw1a and sw1b. The switches
are managed by the Solaris server on the customer LAN instead of by the Storage
Service Processor.
4. Once the Ethernet connections have been switched, power cycle the 1 Gbit
switches and verify network connectivity to the switches on the new network
using the ping(1) command from the SAN 4.0 management workstation.
Configuration and management of the modified switches is now accomplished
through the SANbox Manager GUI as described in the download and upgrade
instructions.
