Problem Description:

4924126 Connected Command timeouts seen on Seagate disks running stress tests
4834770 1030 firmware does not clean up IOs to a RAID after a bus reset

Patch Installation Instructions:
1) Copy the patch into any directory, say <patchdir>.
   (Note, if the patch ends in a "tar.Z" suffix, you will need to first
   uncompress and untar it.)  So, you would type:
        % su root
        # cd <patchdir>
        # uncompress <patch tar file>
        # tar xf <patch tar file>

2) The LSI1030 uses the 'mpt' driver.  Run the following 'grep' command
   to find all device paths which this driver is associated with.

#  grep "mpt" /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2" 0 "mpt"
"/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2,1" 1 "mpt"

3) Run the 'format' command from the prompt to see what disks you have
   in the system that are associated with these device paths:

# format
Searching for disks...done


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c1t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
       1. c1t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
       2. c1t2d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@2,0
       3. c1t3d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
          /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@3,0
Specify disk (enter its number):

Determine all disks that are associated with all the device paths
identified in step 2.  In this case the disks on the
"/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/" LSI1030 mpt driver path are assigned controller
number 'c1'.  This will be controller we will update using just the
number '1'.

Type ^D to quit out of 'format'

4) Update the firmware on your controller.

   Use the '/usr/sbin/raidctl' utility and type:

# /usr/sbin/raidctl -F lsi1030-fw-1.03.11.01 1

   '1' in this case is your controller id.

   This will ask you if you want to continue updating the firmware.

ROM image contains MPT firmware version 1.03.11 (w/Integrated Mirroring)
Update flash image on controller 1 (yes/no)?

   Type 'yes' and hit enter.

   Once you are returned to the prompt the update is complete.

5) Note that the "/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2,1" instance is a 2nd channel on
the same LSI1030 controller identified by the ",1" portion of the device
path being appended to the 1st channel path "scsi@2".  This does not
need to be explicitly upgraded if disks attached to the 1st channel of
the LSI1030 are already upgraded in step 4.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each unique LSI1030 controller identified in
step 2.

6) Reboot the system after all the controllers have been updated.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
It is preferable that this update be done when disk activity is a minimum.

The system must be rebooted for the new firmware version to appear in prtconf.
After reboot the firmware version can be verified as follows:

# /usr/sbin/prtconf -vp | grep 'firmware-version:'
            firmware-version:  '1.03.11.01'
