Problem Description:

This patch contains all three types of firmware updates for the StorEdge
3510 array subsystem: firmware for the array RAID controllers; firmware for
the SES processors in each enclosure; and firmware for the programmable
logic devices (PLDs) that route Fibre Channel data within each enclosure.
 
The SES and PLD firmware updates are applicable to the StorEdge 3510 FC
Array expansion chassis (JBOD) as well as the FC RAID Array chassis.  If
you are upgrading firmware in a standalone FC JBOD Array, you will skip
the RAID controller firmware instructions but follow instructions for
the SES and PLD firmware upgrades.
 
You do not need to install this patch if you have all of the following
firmware revision levels in all of your StorEdge 3510 enclosures:
 
	 Controller firmware: 327R
	 SES firmware:	      1040
	 PLD firmware:	      1000
 
You do need to install this patch if you have any of the following:
 
  * controller firmware earlier than revision 327R, or
  * SES firmware A100 or 1000, or
  * PLD firmware A000
 
If you're not sure how to determine what firmware you currently have
installed, follow the instructions in the Patch Installation
Instructions section.

Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
This patch contains firmware which is installed on the StorEdge 3510
array, rather than using installpatch or patchadd.
 
The prerequisites for installing the new firmware are:
 
 * Version 1.5 of the "sccli" CLI utility included in the SUNWsccli
   package, which may be installed from the Sun StorEdge Professional
   Storage Manager CD or downloaded from the Sun Download Center.  The
   sccli command is installed, by default, in /opt/SUNWsscs/sbin on
   Solaris systems, and a symbolic link is provided in /usr/sbin so that
   the user may simply type "sccli" to invoke it.
 
   If you do not have this package installed, or if you have an older
   version, download and install the latest version from the Sun
   Download Center:
 
    1. Go to http://www.sun.com/software/download and 
        Click on the Systems Administration link
    2. Click on the link for "StorEdge 3000 Family Storage Products--Related Software
    3. Log in or register as necessary
    4. Download the file 1.5.0_sw_XXX.zip where "XXX" describes your platform.
    5. Unzip the file and install the package.  For example, on Solaris:
 
	pkgrm SUNWsccli					# remove old version
	pkgadd -d solaris/`uname -p` SUNWsccli
 
    6. Verify that the correct version is installed by typing
 
		/opt/SUNWsscs/sbin/sccli version
 
   DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE AN EARLIER VERSION OF SCCLI.
 
 * For RAID controller firmware upgrades, an Ethernet connection (or two
   Ethernet connections for dual-controller configurations) is required
   for out-of-band firmware upgrades, if the array to be upgraded is not
   connected to the host on which the upgrades are to be performed.
 
   In order to use the Ethernet connection(s), the controller must
   have an IP address assigned.
 
 * A Fibre Channel connection to the array is required when no network
   connection to the array is available.
 
Unpack the patch into any convenient directory (for example, /var/tmp),
and refer to the Special Install Instructions below.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
*** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning ***
 
DO NOT INSTALL THIS PATCH with a version of sccli earlier than version
1.5.  If an earlier version is installed, refer to the upgrade
instructions above.
 
*** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning ***
 
In dual-controller RAID configurations in a fabric topology, upgrading
the SES firmware may alter the state of the inter-controller-links that
enable controller failover to work.  This may interrupt I/O activity
until the state of the links is restored manually.  If upgrading the SES
firmware in a dual-controller RAID in a fabric topology where the
inter-controller-links have been previously disconnected, follow the
precautions in the next paragraph and assume that the array will be
unavailable for several minutes following the SES firmware upgrade.  Be
sure to follow the instructions in steps 7 and 12 to preserve your
configuration and restore it after the SES update is completed.  
 
*** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning ***
 
The controller firmware procedures below will prevent the StorEdge 3510
array from servicing normal I/O requests for several minutes if the
controller is currently running 327I or 327J firmware, even in redundant
controller configurations that support live firmware upgrades.  The PLD
firmware upgrade will also interrupt I/O, and will require a power-cycle
of the enclosure.  To avoid any possibility of application failures or
filesystem corruption, it is necessary to ensure that no host I/O is
permitted while the upgrade is taking place.  For this reason, all
StorEdge 3510 logical disks should be unmounted, from any Solaris hosts
connected to the array, for the duration of the install procedure.  For
example, filesystems mounted from the StorEdge 3510 should be unmounted,
and databases accessing raw devices on the array should be shut down.
 
*** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning ***
 
If the array controller is power-cycled at the wrong time during
programming of the PLD firmware, the array controller may be rendered
inoperable and require replacement.
 
This procedure upgrades three different firmware files for three
different hardware components: the RAID controller, which processes I/O
requests; the SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) processor, which handles
enclosure management functions; and a Programmable Logic Device (PLD)
which is responsible for routing of Fibre Channel traffic within the
subsystem.
 
Preparing to Upgrade Firmware:
------------------------------
 
 1. Change your working directory to the directory in which the patch
    was unpacked and confirm that the SUN327R-3510.bin file is present
    using the "ls" command.
 
    If upgrading a StorEdge 3510 RAID controller chassis, continue with
    step 2.
 
    If upgrading a StorEdge 3510 standalone expansion chassis (JBOD)
    which is directly attached to the host, you must identify two
    different SES device filenames for the chassis, and repeat the
    instructions in steps 2 through 18 twice, once for each SES device.
    This is because there are two internal loops in each enclosure, and
    each loop contains its own SES and PLD devices, located on an I/O
    Module FRU which is used to provide host connections for that loop.
    Because the SES and PLD devices are redundant, the SES firmware and
    the sccli utility normally hide the fact that there are two separate
    devices from the user, and sccli by default will only display one of
    them at a time.  However, it is important to ensure that both sets
    of SES and PLD devices are upgraded at the same time, so it is
    currently necessary to identify the individual SES devices and
    perform the upgrade procedure separately on each device.
 
    To identify the SES devices, run the following command:
 
       for d in /dev/es/*; do sccli --list $d; done | grep 3510F >jbods.txt
 
    This will run the command "sccli --list /dev/es/<d>" for each device
    filename found in /dev/es, and save the lines that match the FC JBOD
    Array to the file "jbods.txt". This command may take a few moments
    to complete and may display some harmless error messages referring
    to non-existent devices that may safely be ignored.  When it
    completes, jbods.txt should contain two lines for each
    directly-attached JBOD chassis.  For example, if jbods.txt contains:
 
       /dev/es/ses3    SUN StorEdge 3510F D SN#000187
       /dev/es/ses9    SUN StorEdge 3510F D SN#000187
 
    it indicates that /dev/es/ses3 and /dev/es/ses9 are two separate SES
    devices within the JBOD expansion chassis with serial number 000187.
 
    For each device filename found, verify that you see two device
    filenames for each chassis serial number, indicating that you've
    identified a device filename for each of the two SES devices in that
    chassis.  If a chassis appears only once in the list, verify that
    that chassis contains only one I/O Module FRU.  If a chassis with
    two I/O Modules is represented by only one device filename, refer to
    the special instructions under the heading "Non-Redundant FC JBOD
    Array Upgrades."
 
    The procedure outlined in steps 2 through 18 should be repeated for
    each device in the left column.
 
 2. Invoke sccli, using the appropriate syntax for the type of
    connection used to manage the array:
 
    If the array to be upgraded is a standalone expansion chassis
    (JBOD), invoke sccli with the name of an SES device identified in
    step 1:
 
	 sccli /dev/es/ses<n>
 
    If the array to be upgraded is a RAID subsystem attached to a Fibre
    Channel HBA installed in the local host host, simply type the sccli
    command with no arguments:
 
        sccli
 
    If more than one array is connected to local Fibre Channel HBAs,
    sccli will display a list from which the appropriate device may be
    selected.
 
    If the array has an IP address configured, it may be managed
    remotely using a network (or "out-of-band") connection.  To specify
    this mode, type:
 
        sccli [-w <password>] <hostname>
 
    where <password> is the password assigned to the controller, and
    <hostname> is the hostname or IP address of the array.  Use single
    quote characters to quote the password if it contains any characters
    that are interpreted specially by the shell.  If no controller
    password is set, the -w option and password argument should be
    omitted.  If the hostname for a locally attached array is unknown,
    the "--oob" option may be specified instead of a hostname, and sccli
    will try to determine the IP address of a locally-attached array
    automatically.
 
    Verify that you're running sccli version 1.5 with the "version" subcommand.
 
 3. Verify the Product and Revision of the array.  Type the command
 
        show inquiry
 
    and examine the output.  If the "Product" is "StorEdge 3510F D"
    and "Device Type: Enclosure" appears, the device is a JBOD chassis;
    proceed to the SES firmware upgrade at step 7.
 
    If the Product is not "StorEdge 3510", this patch does not
    apply.  Select a different device or discontinue installation of
    this patch.
 
    If the firmware version reported is 327R or higher, the RAID
    controller firmware does not need to be upgraded; proceed to step 7.
    If it is reported as "3510 327I vX.XX", or 327<x> which is less than
    327R, continue with step 4.
 
 4. If array contains only one controller, or the firmware revision is
    earlier than 327K, or the "show redundancy" command does not report
    that the array redundancy mode is Active-Active and its redundancy
    status is "Enabled", the controller firmware upgrade will require
    that the controller be reset, which in turn will cause the
    controller to stop service I/O requests for several minutes.  If one
    of the previous conditions is true, skip to step 5 and follow the
    instructions for on upgrading a single-controller configuration.
 
    If you have a dual controller configuration running firmware 327K or
    higher, and the "show redundancy" command reports that the
    Redundancy mode is "Active-Active" and that the status is "Enabled",
    perform a live firmware upgrade by typing the following command at
    the CLI prompt:
 
	download controller-firmware SUN327R-3510.bin
 
    The sccli command will display messages indicating that it is
    downloading the firmware, programming the controller's flash memory,
    and "engaging" the new firmware.  Wait until the "sccli>" prompt
    appears again, or 3-4 minutes, before proceeding.
 
    If you see an error message containing the text: "please repeat
    download command" or "controller firmware download ok, but engage
    operation is not allowed", the controller was unable to perform a
    live firmware upgrade.  Wait until it is OK to stop I/O to the
    array, and then follow the instructions in step 5 to do a
    non-live firmware upgrade.
 
    If no error messages were displayed, proceed with step 6.
 
 5. Single controller configurations, dual controller configurations
    which are in degraded status, or controllers running firmware
    earlier than 327K must be reset after downloading new firmware.
 
    First, stop all I/O activity and unmount any filesystems or volumes
    mounted from the array.  Then, at the "sccli>" prompt, type:
 
        download controller-firmware -r SUN327R-3510.bin
 
    You should see output indicating that the firmware is being
    downloaded and programmed into flash memory, and then a message
    indicating that the controller is being reset.  Wait until the
    "sccli>" prompt appears before proceeding.
 
 6. Verify that the firmware upgrade succeeded by examining the firmware
    revision again. At the "sccli>" prompt, type
 
         show inquiry
 
    and verify that the firmware revision is now reported as "327R".
 
SES Firmware Upgrade:
---------------------
 
 7. Verify the SES firmware version using the sccli "show ses" subcommand:
 
        sccli> sho ses
	Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             ...
	------------------------------------------------------------------
	 2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1030 A000 204000C0FF000187 ...
	                                                     Topology: ...
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1030 A000 204000C0FF000187 ...
                                                             Topology: ...
 
    In the example above, the information that appears where "..." is
    shown above may not be accurate until after the firmware update is
    completed, and it's not needed for the upgrade, so it won't be shown
    here.
 
    Note that only one line of information may be displayed for a
    standalone expansion (JBOD) chassis, and more than two lines may be
    displayed if a RAID enclosure has expansion chassis connected to it.
    The Product ID field will be "StorEdge 3510F A" for SES devices
    internal to the RAID array chassis, and "StorEdge 3510F D" for
    SES devices internal to the expansion chassis.
 
    Examine the SES firmware revision codes displayed in the "Rev"
    column.  If all of the lines contain a revision code of 1040 in the
    "Rev" field, then no SES firmware update is necessary and you should
    proceed to step 13.  In this example, the "Rev" field is 1030 for
    both devices and therefore an upgrade is needed.
 
    If upgrading a standalone expansion chassis (JBOD) enclosure,
    continue with step 9.
 
 8. Record the state of the inter-controller-links.  At the "sccli>"
    command prompt, type:
 
	show configuration old-configuration.txt
 
    to save the configuration of the array to a file called
    "old-configuration.txt".  Note that this command may take several
    minutes to complete.  This file may be referred to later in case it
    is necessary to restore the state of the inter-controller-links.
 
 9. Since the SSCS agent may interfere with download of SES code, it is
    necessary to stop any SSCS agent that may be running on a host
    connected to the array controller.  To stop the SSCS agent, issue
    the shell command "/etc/init.d/ssagent stop" as root on any system
    where the SUNWscsa package is installed.  If the SSCS agent is
    running on a Microsoft Windows system connected to the array, use
    the "Services" application (Start->Run->"services.msc") to stop the
    SSCS Agent service.
 
    StorADE, or any other application which monitors the status of the
    enclosure, may also interfere with controller or SES firmware
    downloads.  Stop the StorADE agent software, or any other software
    that monitors the array, following the procedures described in the
    documentation for that application.
 
10. Invoke sccli again.  At the "sccli>" prompt, type the following command:
 
       download ses-firmware fc2u_sun_1040a.s3r
 
    sccli performs a "live upgrade" of the SES firmware and it is not
    necessary to restart the RAID controller afterwards; however, until
    the next controller reset, the firmware's telnet/RS232 menu
    interface may continue to display the old SES firmware revision.
 
11. Run the sccli subcommand "show ses" again to verify that all SES
    devices have been upgraded to version 1040, as indicated by the
    "Rev" column.  In the example below, the Rev column has changed to
    "1040" for both SES devices:
 
        sccli> sho ses
	Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             ...
	------------------------------------------------------------------
	 2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1040 A000 204000C0FF000187 ...
	                                                     Topology: ...
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1040 A000 204000C0FF000187 ...
                                                             Topology: ...
 
    Note: While it is not necessary to reset the RAID controller after
    an SES firmware upgrade, the RAID controller's telnet/RS232 menu
    interface may continue to display the old SES revision number until
    after the next time it is reset.
 
12. If you are upgrading a standalone expansion chassis, skip to step 13.
 
    If upgrading RAID enclosure, type:
 
       show inter-controller-link
 
    at the "sccli>" prompt, and verify that all links are "connected"
    (the default state).  If you have difficulty communicating with the
    controller using an inband connection, try using an out-of-band
    (network) connection instead.
 
    If some links are not connected, or if using a point-to-point
    configuration where the inter-controller-links should be
    disconnected, you will need to set the connection state again.
    Refer to the "inter-controller-link" section of the configuration
    file you saved in step 8 for the settings to be restored.
 
    If a link that was previously disconnected has become connected,
    it can be disconnected again with the commands:
 
       set inter-controller-link upper channel <n> disconnected
       set inter-controller-link lower channel <n> disconnected
 
    If a link that was previously connected has become disconnected,
    it can be connected again with the commands:
 
       set inter-controller-link upper channel <n> connected
       set inter-controller-link lower channel <n> connected
 
    where <n> is the channel that should be connected.  
 
PLD Firmware Upgrade:
---------------------
 
13. Warning: Performing this PLD firmware upgrade incorrectly, by using
    a version of sccli prior to version 1.5 or power-cycling the array
    at the wrong time, could result in the array enclosure being
    rendered unusable.
 
    Upgrading the PLD firmware causes the host's Fibre Channel HBAs to
    be disconnected from the array temporarily, which may prevent
    sccli from completing the procedure properly if sccli is not used
    out-of-band.  sccli must be invoked with the hostname or IP address
    assigned to the array, so that a network connection is used to
    communicate with the array controller (see Step 2).
 
    The PLD firmware upgrade cannot be completed without power-cycling
    the array at the end of the procedure.  Do not proceed if it is not
    possible to power cycle the array at this time.
 
14. Verify the PLD firmware revision by issuing the sccli "show ses"
    subcommand:
 
        sccli> sho ses
	Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             ...
	------------------------------------------------------------------
	 2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1040 A000 204000C0FF000187 ...
	                                                     Topology: ...
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1040 A000 204000C0FF000187 ...
                                                             Topology: ...
 
    Examine the PLD firmware revision codes displayed in the "PLD"
    column.  If all of the lines contain a revision code of 1000 in the
    PLD column, then no PLD firmware update is necessary and you should
    proceed to step 20.
 
15. Make sure that all host I/O activity has been stopped.  The array
    will be unable to process host I/O activity for up to 10 minutes.
 
16. Type the following command at the "sccli>" prompt:
 
         download pld-firmware pld1r10.s3r
 
    sccli will indicate that it is shutting down the controller,
    sending the PLD firmware data, and programming the flash memory.
    All the LEDs on the array will illuminate while the flash
    programming is under way, and sccli will pause for 3 to 5 minutes.
 
    DO NOT POWER CYCLE THE ARRAY YET.  Note the time and wait at least 5
    minutes for the PLD flash programming operation to complete.
 
17. After waiting at least 5 minutes after seeing the message "Please
    wait 3 to 5 minutes until PLD flashing completes", turn off power to
    the array, wait 10 seconds, and then turn power back on.  Be sure to
    turn off, or unplug, BOTH power supplies, as removing power from one
    power supply does not cause the array to lose power.  Allow up to 3
    minutes for the controller to restart fully.
 
18. Restart sccli and run the "show ses" command again to verify that
    the PLD firmware revision displayed in the PLD column is 1040 for
    all SES devices shown, as in the example below:
 
        sccli> sho ses
	Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             ...
	------------------------------------------------------------------
	 2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1040 1000 204000C0FF000187 ...
	                                                     Topology: ...
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3510F A 1040 1000 204000C0FF000187 ...
                                                             Topology: ...
 
19. If you are upgrading a RAID controller array, continue with step 20.
 
    If you are upgrading a standalone expansion chassis, repeat steps 2
    through 18 for the other SES device within the same chassis
    (identified in step 1) before returning the array to service.
 
After Upgrading:
----------------
 
20. If the SSCS agent was stopped in step 9, restart it with the
    command "/etc/init.d/ssagent start" if it is installed on Solaris,
    or using the "Services" utility (Start->Run->"services.msc") if it
    is installed on Microsoft Windows.
 
    If other storage management software such as StorADE was stopped,
    restart it following the procedures in the documentation for that
    software.
 
Additional Information
----------------------
 
Non-Redundant FC JBOD Upgrades
------------------------------
 
Upgrading the two SES devices (and their associated PLD devices) in the
3510 FC JBOD Array requires access to two separate device filenames in
/dev/es, one for each SES device.
 
If you can only locate one device filename in /dev/es for an FC JBOD
Array, use the following guidelines to determine how to proceed:
 
a) If there is only one physical I/O Module installed in the FC JBOD
Array: Only one SES device is present and no special preparation is
necessary because no firmware revision mismatch can occur.
 
b) If there is only one cable connection from the host to the FC JBOD
Array: Upgrading the firmware in both I/O Modules requires moving
the cable from one I/O Module to the other, which requires host system
downtime.  Do not attempt to upgrade the SES or PLD firmware in this
chassis until you are able to do all of the following:
 
  * Follow the instructions in steps 2, 3, 7, and 14 (only) to determine
    if you need to upgrade the SES or PLD firmware in the chassis, but
    do not proceed to steps 8 or 15.  If the SES and PLD firmware are at
    the correct revisions, no futher action is required for this FC JBOD
    Array.
 
  * Stop all I/O activity to the array, and unmount any volumes or
    filesystems mounted from it; reboot to single-user mode if
    necessary. 
 
  * Unplug the cable from the I/O Module to which it's currently
    connected and plug it in to the other I/O Module.
 
  * Run "devfsadm" to create a new /dev/es device filename
    corresponding to the second SES device which is now connected to
    the host (the first one will no longer be accessible).
 
  * Follow steps 2 through 18 above to upgrade this second SES device.
 
  * Move the cable back to the I/O Module to which it was originally
    connected, and run "devfsadm" again.  If desired, run "devfsadm -C"
    to remove the device file created for the second SES device above.
 
  * Follow steps 2 to 18 to upgrade the first SES device.
 
  * Reboot the host to remount volumes and filesystems and restore
    I/O activity to the array.
 
c) If there are two cables from the host to the FC JBOD Array: Ensure
that they are connected according to the instructions in the Sun
StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual for the
Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array, Part No 816-7300-15.  Run the "devfsadm"
command after making any cabling changes and verify that the chassis is
represented by two device filenames in /dev/es.  If a second device
filename does not appear, troubleshoot the connections before attempting
to upgrade the FC JBOD Array firmware.
