A.
Upgrading
the
DS4000
controller
firmware
Attention
If you are upgrading your DS4800 controller firmware to version 6.23.xx.xx or
higher, it is not necessary to use the firmware upgrade procedure described in
this appendix to attach new EXP810s to the DS4800.
You can acquire controller firmware 6.23.xx.xx or higher at the following IBM
Disk Support Web site:

Please note the following points:
v
If you are upgrading controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx or 06.15.xx.xx
to version 6.23.xx.xx or higher, and you have EXP100s attached to your
DS4800 storage subsystem, you do not need to migrate off the EXP100s
from the DS4800 before beginning the upgrade.
v
If you have EXP100 and EXP710 storage expansion enclosures attached,
you are upgrading controller firmware to version 6.23.xx.xx or higher, follow
the controller firmware upgrade procedure that is described in the
IBM
System
Storage
DS

to add the new EXP810s to your storage
subsystem. You can find both of these guides at the IBM Disk Support Web
site listed previously.
Note:
Use this procedure only if you are upgrading your DS4800 controller
firmware from version 6.14.xx.xx or 6.15.xx.xx to version 6.16.xx.xx,
and choose not to upgrade directly to 6.23.xx.xx or higher; and you
want to add EXP810 storage expansion enclosures to the DS4800
storage subsystem.
EXP810 storage expansion enclosures require DS4000 controller firmware listed in
Table 40 on page 136. If you are connecting the EXP810 to a:
v
DS4700 Express, you do not have to perform an upgrade because the DS4700
Express is shipped with the correct firmware versions listed in Table 40 on page
136.
v
DS4800, you have to perform an upgrade if the DS4800 does not have the
correct firmware versions listed in Table 40 on page 136.
v
DS4300 Standard/base or Turbo models, you might have to upgrade the
firmware to the correct firmware versions listed in Table 40 on page 136.
v
