Updating hard disk drive firmware for either ST31000424SS or ST32000444SS requires that firmware version BE51 be downloaded to the hard disk drives prior to upgrading to firmware version BC26. 1.3 Enhancements See corresponding Change History document for more information. 1.4 Level of Recommendation IBM considers this update to be highly recommended for all customers. IBM strongly recommends applying the HDD firmware at the next possible maintenance window. 1.5 Dependencies IMPORTANT: Always check the DS3000 storage subsystem controller firmware README for any required minimum version of the attached drive expansion enclosure ESM firmware for that particular controller firmware release. Update the ESM firmware using either the DS3000 Storage Manager client program. Be sure to follow the following list of prerequisites before updating hard disk firmware. - For Hard Disk Drive firmware updates, ensure that all activity to the controller is stopped. If you are unsure about the sequence of firmware updates for various components in the DS3000 storage subsystem configuration, please call IBM Support at 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) before proceeding with the firmware upgrades. ___________________________ 2.0 Installation and Setup ___________________________ 2.1 Ensure that all activities to the controllers is stopped while performing hard disk drive (HDD) firmware updates with all levels of controller firmware. The DS3000 storage subsystems can update all drives in a configuration for up to four different drive types at the same time. For DS Storage Manager Client version 2.x or 10.x, perform the following steps to download hard disk drive firmware: NOTE: Updating hard disk drive firmware for either ST31000424SS or ST32000444SS requires that firmware version BE51 be downloaded to the hard disk drives prior to upgrading to firmware version BC26. a. THE DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL REQUIRE DOWNTIME. When updating drive firmware ensure that no HOST I/O is being sent to the DS3000 controllers. b. Open the Subsystem Management window. c.
