No other programs should be running while this utility is being used . Failure to do so may cause the devices being upgraded to fail or the system to crash. Any other computers sharing the same I/O bus as the host system must be either disconnected or offline. B.2 If any upgrade failures occur, do not continue upgrading devices. For example, loss of power during download will result in damaged peripherals and require replacement. If any failures occur, please collect the following log file: "/var/adm/messages", and an explorer dump. Please forward these files to your service provider for analysis. B.3 This firmware will only function on a Sun StorEdge L25 or L100 li brary. B.4 Please READ instructions below completely BEFORE starting downloa d procedure. Follow the procedures carefully. You may program stacked library configurations at the same time, however, you may not exit the utility until all libraries have completed the download proce ss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ C.O Patch Installation and Usage Intructions --------------------------------------------- C.1 General guidelines for upgrading: STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the firmware upgrade process. DISCONNECT or take OFFLINE any other computers sharing the sa me I/O bus as the host. UPGRADE the tape library. Follow the given instructions in the procedure section below. In case of any disruption or unforeseen events happening on t he relevant bus during the firmware download process, it may be that the upgraded device becomes non-functional. In this eve nt, it will be necessary to replace the device. This would happen as a result of an incomplete or corrupted firmware file being downloaded. Loss of power during the upgrade process would a lso damage the device. **NOTE** If you cannot upgrade devices due to software application interference, try booting off of the Solaris release CD. **NOTE** After the firmware download is completed, it may be neces sary to power cycle the device to ensure fully resetting the d evice. In turn, this may also require a successive reboot of the host system to ensure all functionality is restored. REFER TO USER MANUAL for detailed instructions on how to perf orm this upgrade. C.2 Procedure for Tape library Firmware Download: Launch the Prism Management console from a Web based browser. The first page that displays when you access the Prism Management Con sole Web pages is the PMC Home page. This page includes information on the library status as well as other management pages listed down the left hand si de of the home page. The library status icon indicates the state of the li brary by two colors. This icon is also a direct link to the library status pag e. The colors of the status icon display the following corresponding sta tes: Green: Library is available Red: Library is unavailable - this could be due to: initializing demo running diagnostic running (Service mode) in Standby or Stop mode Unable to communicate with library Accessing another page for the first time from the Home page requires you to enter a username and password. Note: A default user name (admin) and password (admin) is provided wi th the installation of the Prism Management Card. When the status icon is showing Green, access the Service Operations page. In the navigation frame, under Library Management, press Service Oper ations. The management frame displays the Service Operations page To upload the library firmware: 1. Press Browse to select the V6 firmware image file on the host computer. The filename will be m4sys_v6-0.b2a 2. Press Upload to begin the library firmware upload. Caution: Before you perform the upload, make sure there are no proces ses or applications accessing the library. If there are, shut down the proce ss or application, or pause the operation, until the upload completes. Note: The entire Upload process may take some time if upleveling a mu ltiframe library. Do not interrupt the process. Wait for the upload to finish. At the end of the upload, the library automatically resets itself. During th e firmware upload process, a progress window is displayed indicating th e current operation being performed to complete the firmware upload pro cess. In a multiframe environment, the master frame is updated first, then succeeding frames are updated. After the library is upgraded, the Revision should display 6.0 when c hecked from the OCP of the library. To check the firmware revision from the OCP of the library from the home screen select Quickview then select Library . The firmware revision will be displayed. PROBLEMS Any problems regarding this upload by the user following proper procedures should be reported to the user's service provider along with the following items: 1) /var/adm/messages file 2) explorer dump ********************************************************************* ***** ********************************************************************* ***** Patch Installation Instructions: ------------------------ Please refer to Problem Description section.
