The patch has the following bug fixes : 4363994 Solaris 8 not listed as supported OS for patch 108104-03 Fixes Patch 108104-03 Read Me file to include Solaris 8 as supportd OS. 4519031 T3 vol init command can take 8 hours to complete Fixes merge code problem to prevent performance degradation on queued-sequential writes (known as the Slow Vol Init problem). no bug id Changed F/W to set value of the FTEC482 Internal Transceiver Pole/Zero register from 0x31 to 0x32 to address the Excalibur bootup issue Previous History: The following disk drive models have been moved to other patches- ST336607FC (moved to patch 113671-01 to be PatchPro-compatible) ST336753FC (moved to patch 116748-02 to be PatchPro-compatible) ST373307FC (moved to patch 114708-02 to be PatchPro-compatible) ST373453FC (moved to patch 113673-01 to be PatchPro-compatible) MAN3735F (moved to patch 116513-01) ST3146807FC (moved to patch 114709-02 to be PatchPro-compatible) All ch3 FlashROM codes moved to patch 111535-03 for FCO A0199 control. All ch4 FlashROM codes moved to patch 113668-03 for FCO A0222 control. This revision of this patch removes the 0938 cheetah5 fw and replaces it with the previous version of 0638 fw. This was done because a bug was found in booting the V880 platform (the timing can cause the V880 to panic on boot). There are no known bugs in the 0638 version (the 0938 version was feature enhancements) so it is appropriate to revert to this version. The previous Patches for the drives which are incorporated into this patch are as follows: Drive Model# Patch # FWCode Previous FWs ST19171FC 106129-12 7F7x 7D7x ST39102FC 108104-03 1229 1129 ST118273FC 108102-04 9954 8854 ************************************************************************** ************************************************************************** **WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:** 1. The system MUST BE IDLE during the download process! No other programs should be running while using this utility is being used. Failure to do so may cause the devices being upgraded to fail or the system to crash. Volume managers such as Veritas, SDS, Arraymon, and Vold must be idle and any disks unconfigured. Note, due to an open/close accounting bug (see bug 4129295) in sd and ssd drivers, you must reboot the system after unconfiguring any disks used by them. This accounting bug prevents the upgrade utility from acquiring sole ownnership of the disk so it will not be eligible for upgrade. Note, Arraymon will be disabled during download startup and enabled on exit. Any other computers sharing the same I/O bus as the host system must be either disconnected or offline to prevent possible disruption of the firmware download process. 2. If any upgrade failures occur, do not continue upgrading devices. Loss of power during download can result in damage to the devices under upgrade and require replace. If any failures occur, please collect the following log files: "./download.log" or "/var/tmp/download.log", "/var/adm/messages", and an explorer dump. Please forward these files to your service provider for analysis. 3. This package will only upgrade the identified Sun disks. 4. If the High Availability kernel device polling is running, it will be disabled. It will not be re-enabled. 5. If using Veritas, "deport" the volume to release the volume from Veritas control. Do not "remove" the volume as this will erase the data stored on the Volume. 6. Follow the instructions given below. You may program one drive, a range of drives, or all drives at once with this tool. ************************************************************************** ************************************************************************** Patch Installation Instructions: -------------------------------- 1. General guidelines for upgrading: BACK UP ALL FILESYSTEMS. STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the firmware upgrade process. UNMOUNT all file systems on the drives to be upgrade. Disks with mounted file systems are not eligible for upgrade. UNCONFIGURE devices from volume manager. REBOOT THE SYSTEM if you unconfigured any disks from volume manager (e.g. Veritas). Otherwise, you will not be able to upgrade any previously configured disks. UPGRADE the disks. Follow the given instructions in the procedure section below. In case of any disruption or unforeseen events happening on the relevant bus during the firmware download process, it may be that the upgraded disk becomes non-functional. In this event, it will be necessary to swap out the disk. This would happen as a result of an incomplete or corrupted firmware file being downloaded. Loss of power during the upgrade process would also damage the disk. **NOTE** If you cannot upgrade devices due to volume manager interference, try booting of the Solaris 2.6 release CD. **NOTE** If a system disk is to be upgraded, the upgrade utility will allow it to be upgraded if the system is in single-user mode (e.g. "boot -s"). Otherwise, the system disk will not be eligible for upgrade. RECONFIGURE devices to volume manager. **NOTE** As Download disables kernel high availability device polling, it may be necessary to reboot the system to restart it. 2. Procedure: The procedure to be used for upgrading the drive firmware is explained below. Upgrade time will be approximately 2 minutes for systems. a) Unpack the patch (through tar) into any directory, say . (Note, if the patch ends in a ".Z" suffix, you will need to first uncompress it.) So, you would type: % su root # cd # tar xf b) In the patch directory, as root, type the "download" command: # ./download c). Select the devices to be upgraded (see example below). **NOTE** Any device that is in-use by another application will not be upgraded. The following warning message will be issued: c1t3d0s0: Open failed, you must be the sole user! **NOTE** This upgrade can result in error messages in the console window and/or the terminal "download" window. It is normal for the FC-AL link to go offline for a few seconds and then return to the online state. The disk mode pages will also be restored to the default values. **NOTE** For A3000/1000's, the internal disk "C" and "T" numbers are derived from the first active controller found. The "D" number is encoded to indicate it's position using the following formula: D = (tray_number * 100) + target_id. d). After the devices have been upgraded, the displayed device list will be refreshed. Devices remaining to be upgraded or failed devices will be displayed. Failed devices will be marked with a "****" in the rev field. **NOTE** If all devices have been upgraded, the following message will be displayed: No devices found to upgrade! e). To display the full list of devices including the upgrades ones, type 'inquiry' (see example below). **NOTE** Only the first two digits of the firmware version number will change. The last two digits will not change. So, a disk with 0410 firmware would report revision 1078 for example. f). Quit the "download" program by typing 'quit' (see example below). ************************************************************************** ************************************************************************** EXAMPLES: NOTE: The example below is representative of a typical firmware download operation and may not reflect the exact model/firmware you wish to download. # ./download Firmware Download Utility, V4.2 ************************** WARNING ************************** NO OTHER ACTIVITY IS ALLOWED DURING FIRMWARE UPGRADE!!! No other programs including any volume manager (e.g. Veritas, SDS, or Vold) should be running. Other host systems sharing any I/O bus with this host must either be offline or disconnected. Any interruption (e.g. power loss) during upgrade can result in damage to devices being upgraded. Any disk to be upgraded should first have its data backed up. *************************************************************** Searching for devices... WARNING: Kernel device polling is enabled!
