Enhancements
•
Added support for the P2000 G3 MSA Array System.
•
In systems operating on a single power supply, performance was improved by implementing a
staggered spin-up for the disk drives in the enclosures. (Do not perform system updates or operate
the enclosure for an extended period of time on one power supply; replace failed components as
soon as possible.)
•
Improved event log reporting to include older entries from the event buffer in the log.
•
Added support for additional power supply monitoring.
Fixes
•
Fixed an issue where drive LEDs may not be turned off after the issue that turned the light on has
been corrected.
•
Fixed SMU Show Expander Status display to correctly show logical and physical mappings.
Installation instructions
When planning for a firmware upgrade, select and schedule an appropriate time to perform an online
upgrade.
•
For single domain systems, I/O must be halted.
•
For dual domain systems, selecting the appropriate time is essential. Because the online firmware
upgrade is performed while host I/Os are being serviced, the I/O load can impact the upgrade
process. Selecting a period of low I/O activity will ensure the upgrade completes as quickly as
possible and will avoid disruptions to hosts and applications due to timeouts.
WARNING!
Do not cycle power or restart devices during a firmware update. If the update is interrupted or there
is a power failure, the module could become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical support. The
module may need to be returned to the factory for reprogramming.
CAUTION:
Before upgrading firmware, ensure that the storage system configuration is stable and is not being
reconfigured or changed in any way. If configuration changes are in progress, monitor them and
wait until they are completed before proceeding with the upgrade.
IMPORTANT:
As with any firmware upgrade, it is a recommended best practice to ensure that you have a full
backup prior to the upgrade.
