4. Use the

port list

command to display how paths are mapped from the host

ports to the volume.

This displays World Wide Names (WWNs) that can be compared to the WWNs
displayed by the Solaris command

format

(1M).

In the example above, the WWN of 50020f23000002ba identifies the port and volume
match.

Verifying the Firmware Level and Configuration

The Sun StorEdge T3 array has four different types of firmware:

■

Controller firmware. See Section 4.3, “Upgrading Controller Firmware” on
page 4-5”.

■

Controller electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM)
firmware. See Section 4.3.1.2, “Controller EPROM Firmware” on page 4-6”.

■

Disk drive firmware. See Section 5.4, “Upgrading Disk Drive Firmware” on
page 5-13”.

■

Interconnect card firmware. See Section 6.3, “Upgrading Interconnect Card
Firmware” on page 6-5”.

The firmware upgrade procedures must be done through the Ethernet connection.
The latest firmware versions are located on the SunSolve

web site:

http://sunsolve.sun.com

Firmware file naming restrictions are as follows:

■

The name consists of a string of 1 to 12 characters.

■

The name must start with an alphabetic character and not a numeral. For
example:

:/:<4>port list

port targetid addr_type status host wwn

u1p1 1 hard online sun 50020f23000002ba
