Download Environmental (Esm) Card Firmware - IBM DS3000 Introduction And Implementation Manual

Draft Document for Review August 30, 2007 12:59 am
Note:
Update the ESMs first to the latest level, followed by the controller second. Outdated
ESM firmware could make your expansion enclosures inaccessible after the DS3000
storage server firmware update.
Update the hosts first, and if it is a redundant configuration make sure that the latest
multipath driver is installed.
Update the controller firmware, followed by the NVSRAM - these two components must
be updated together in this order.
Any power or network/SAN/SAS interruption during the update process might lead to
configuration corruption. Therefore, do not power off the DS3000 storage server or the
management station during the update. If you are using in-band management and have
Fibre Channel hubs or managed hubs, then make sure no SAN connected devices are
powered up during the update. Otherwise, this can cause a loop initialization process
and interrupt the process.
