Problem Description: 
--------------------
 
This patch contains all five types of firmware updates for the Sun StorEdge
3511 array subsystem: the RAID controller, that processes I/O requests; the 
SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) processor, that handles enclosure management
functions; the Programmable Logic Device (PLD) that is responsible for 
routing of Fibre Channel traffic within the subsystem; the SATA SR-1216 
router, that provides port routing in the SATA unit; and the SATA MUX, 
that controls the path microcode on the multiplexer (MUX) boards behind
the SATA router.
 
The SES, PLD, router, and MUX firmware updates are applicable to the Sun
StorEdge 3511 SATA Array expansion chassis (JBOD) as well as the RAID
Array chassis.
 
This patch also contains a SNMP MIB for installation in SNMP Managers such
as HP OpenView Network Node Manager. This MIB is specific to the Sun
StorEdge 3511. Refer to Appendix F, "SNMP Management Using HP OpenView," in
the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID User's Guide for information about MIB
installation and use.
 
You do not need to install this patch if you have all of the following
firmware revision levels in all of your StorEdge 3511 enclosures:
 
         Controller firmware: 421F
         SES firmware:        0430
         PLD firmware:        1100
         Router firmware:     DP0579 
         MUX firmware:        BB42
 
These README instructions require that RAID controller 4.1x firmware already
be present on any arrays being upgraded. If your array currently has version
3.2x controller firmware installed, do NOT attempt to use the instructions in
this README to upgrade from version 3.2x to version 4.21. Instead, follow the
detailed instructions in the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Controller
Firmware Migration Guide. This document is part of the Sun StorEdge 3000
Family documentation set.
 
This patch contains firmware that is installed on the Sun StorEdge 3511
array using Sun StorEdge CLI, rather than using installpatch or patchadd.

Patch Installation Instructions: 
==========================
 
Invoking Sun StorEdge CLI:
 
---------------------------
 
Version 2.4 or greater of the "sccli" CLI utility is required. It is included
in the SUNWsscs package, which may be downloaded from the Sun Download Center
or installed from the optional Sun StorEdge Professional Storage Manager CD.
 
For software installation or upgrading instructions, refer to the "Sun
StorEdge 3000 Family Software Installation Guide." Click the link for your
array on the Sun Documentation Centers Storage web page at:
 
sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Network_Storage_Solutions/
 
Select the most recent version of software and then download the Software
Installation Guide.
 
The firmware procedures require the user to invoke Sun StorEdge CLI (sccli)
using the appropriate syntax for the type of connection used to manage the 
array.
 
If the array to be upgraded is a RAID subsystem attached to a Fibre Channel
HBA installed in the local host, 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 | ip>
 
where <password> is the password assigned to the controller, and 
<hostname | ip> 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.
 
To verify the version of "sccli" you are running type the following command
at the sccli> prompt:
 
       version
 
============================================
 
Upgrading Controller Firmware 4.xx to 4.21
 
--------------------------------------------
 
The following procedure is used for a minor revision upgrade, such as from
4.11 to 4.21. If you are currently running 3.xx firmware, skip to 
"Special Install Instructions" at the end of this README.
 
-----
Note:
-----
Be sure your working directory is the directory in which the patch was
unpacked and confirm that the SUN421F-3510.bin file is present.
 
 1.  Verify the Product and Revision of the array.  Type the following 
     command at the sccli> prompt:
 
        show inquiry
 
    and examine the output.  If the "Product" is "StorEdge 3511F D" and 
    "Device Type: Enclosure" appears, the device is a JBOD chassis and has
    no controller firmware; skip to the "SES Firmware Upgrade" 
    section.    
 
    If the Product is not "StorEdge 3511," this patch does not apply.  
    Select a different device or discontinue installation of this patch.
 
    If the firmware version reported is 421F, the RAID controller firmware
    does not need to be upgraded; skip to the "Mixed 3510 and 3511
    Upgrades." Otherwise, continue with step 2.
 
 2. Verify single or dual controller.  Type the following command at the
     sccli> prompt:
 
        show redundancy
 
    and examine the output. If the "array redundancy" mode is not
    "Active-Active" AND the "redundancy" status is not "Enabled," skip to
    step 4 and follow the instructions for upgrading a single-controller
    configuration or for non-redundant configurations.
 
 3. ONLY if the "show redundancy" command reports that the Redundancy mode
    is "Active-Active" and that the status is "Enabled" (dual-controller),
    AND you are currently running 4.11I or later should you continue.
 
----
Note:
----
Entering the "download controller-firmware" command below will cause a
controlled reset and failover of both controller modules. During this process
host I/O can be temporarily affected and recoverable errors may be recorded.
This may have an impact of IO performance during the upgrade procedure.
Retryable I/O errors and bus resets can be visible on attached hosts.
 
    Perform the firmware upgrade by typing the following command at the
    sccli> prompt:
 
        download controller-firmware SUN421F-3511.bin
 
    The sccli command will display the following messages:
 
     sccli: Downloading controller firmware...programming flash memory...done
     sccli: Engaging firmware...done
     sccli> 
 
    Wait until the sccli> prompt appears again, which may take 10 minutes or
    more, 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 the firmware 
    upgrade. Repeat the download as follows:
 
    Stop all I/O activity and unmount any filesystems or volumes mounted by
    a volume manager from the array.  Then, type the following command at
    the sccli> prompt:
 
        download controller-firmware -r SUN421F-3511.bin
 
    When download completes, skip to step 5.
 
 4. Single-controller or non-redundant configurations require a reset after
    downloading new firmware. This type of upgrade requires that the
    controller be reset, which in turn causes the controller to stop
    servicing I/O requests for several minutes.
 
    Stop all I/O activity and unmount any filesystems or volumes mounted by
    a volume manager from the array.  Then, type the following command at
    the sccli> prompt:
 
        download controller-firmware -r SUN421F-3511.bin
 
    The sccli command will display the following messages:
 
     sccli: Downloading controller firmware...programming flash memory...done
     sccli: Resetting controller...done
     sccli> 
 
    Wait until the sccli> prompt appears again, which may take 10 minutes or
    more, before proceeding.
 
 5. Verify that the firmware upgrade succeeded by examining the firmware
    revision again. Type the following command at the sccli> prompt:
 
         show inquiry
 
    and verify that the firmware revision is now reported as 421F.
 
 6. Some customers connect Sun StorEdge 3511 expansion units to Sun StorEdge
    3510 RAID controllers. If you are upgrading this mixed configuration,
    follow the steps in the next section. Otherwise, skip to the "SES
    Firmware Upgrade" section.

To install the necessary 3510 firmware for controller, SES, and PLD, download
patch 113723 from http://sunsolve.sun.com. Follow the directions in the
relevant sections in README.113724 to update the firmware to the required
versions.
 
=====================
 
SES Firmware Upgrade:
 
---------------------
 
 1. Verify the SES firmware version. Type the following command at the
    sccli> prompt:
 
        show ses-devices
 
       sccli> show ses-devices
        Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
         2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0420 1000 204000C0FF000187 
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0420 1000 204000C0FF000187 
 
 
    Examine the SES firmware revision codes displayed in the "Rev" column.
    If all the lines contain a revision code of 0430 in the "Rev" field,
    then no SES firmware update is necessary and you should skip to
    "PLD Firmware Upgrade."  In the example above, the "Rev" field is 0420
    for both devices and therefore an upgrade is needed.
 
    -----
    Note:
    -----
    More than two lines may be displayed if a RAID enclosure has expansion
    chassis connected to it. The Product ID field will be "StorEdge 3511F A"
    for SES devices internal to the RAID array chassis, and
    "StorEdge 3511F D" for SES devices internal to the expansion chassis.
 
    Sun StorEdge 3510 FC RAID devices may be connected to Sun StorEdge 3511 
    SATA expansion units. In this case, "StorEdge 3510F A" and
    "StorEdge 3511F D" are displayed when the "show ses-devices" command is 
    run. See the "Mixed 3510 and 3511 Upgrades" section for an example.
 
 2. Since the SSCS agent may interfere with the 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 as "root" user:
 
       /etc/init.d/ssagent stop
 
    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 that 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.
 
 3. Perform the upgrade. Type the following command at the sccli> prompt:
 
 
        download ses-firmware sesfw_3511_0430.s3r
 
    -----
    Note:
    -----
    It is not necessary to reset the RAID controller afterwards; however,
    until the next controller reset, the firmware's menu interface may
    continue to display the old SES firmware revision.
 
 4. Verify that all SES devices have been upgraded. Type the following
    command at the sccli> prompt:
 
        show ses-devices
 
       sccli> show ses-devices
        Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             
        ------------------------------------------------------------------
         2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0430 1000 204000C0FF000187 
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0430 1000 204000C0FF000187 
 
 
    The lines should now contain a revision of 0430 as indicated by the
    "Rev" column.
 
=====================
 
PLD Firmware Upgrade:
 
---------------------
 
    -------
    Caution:
    -------
    Performing this PLD firmware upgrade incorrectly, by using a version
    of sccli prior to version 2.4 or power-cycling the array at the wrong
    time, can result in the array enclosure being rendered unusable.
 
    This PLD firmware upgrade will interrupt I/O. Stop all I/O activity
    and unmount any filesystems or volumes mounted by a volume manager
    from the array.
 
    -----
    Note:
    -----
    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.
 
    If you upgrade the PLD firmware inband, make sure the host's Fibre
    Channel HBA connections are restored after the PLD firmware download.
 
1. Verify the PLD firmware version. Type the following command at the 
   sccli> prompt:
 
 
        show ses-devices
 
       sccli> show ses-devices
        Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
         2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0413 1000 204000C0FF000187 
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0413 1000 204000C0FF000187 
 
 
    Examine the PLD firmware revision codes displayed in the "PLD" column.
    If all the lines contain a revision code of 1100 in the "PLD" field,
    then no PLD firmware update is necessary and you should skip to
    "Router Firmware Upgrade."  In the example above, the "PLD" field is
    1000 for both devices and therefore an upgrade is needed.
 
    -----
    Note:
    -----
    More than two lines may be displayed if a RAID enclosure has expansion
    chassis connected to it.
 
    Sun StorEdge 3510 FC RAID devices may be connected to Sun StorEdge 3511 
    SATA expansion units. In this case, "StorEdge 3510F A" and
    "StorEdge 3511F D" are displayed when the "show ses-devices" command is 
    run. See the "Mixed 3510 and 3511 Upgrades" section for an example.
 
 2. 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. Type
    the following command at the sccli> prompt:
 
         download pld-firmware sata1100.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.
 
 3. Wait at least 5 minutes after seeing the message "Power cycle the
    array, including expansion units" Then turn off power to BOTH power
    supplies on the array, wait 10 seconds, and then turn power back on.
    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.
 
 4. Verify that all PLD devices have been upgraded. Type the following
    command at the sccli> prompt:
 
        show ses-devices
 
       sccli> show ses-devices
        Ch  Id Chassis Vendor/Product ID    Rev  PLD  WWNN             
        ------------------------------------------------------------------
         2  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0413 1100 204000C0FF000187 
         3  12 000187  SUN StorEdge 3511F A 0413 1100 204000C0FF000187 
 
 
    The lines should now contain a revision of 1100 as indicated by the
    "PLD" column.
 
=======================
 
Router Firmware Upgrade:
 
-----------------------
 
    -------
    Caution:
    -------
    This Router firmware upgrade will interrupt I/O. To avoid any
    possibility of application failures or filesystem corruption, ensure
    that no host I/O occurs while the router upgrade is taking place.
 
 1. Verify the router firmware revision by issuing the sccli "show sata-
    router" command:
 
        sccli> show sata-router
        Encl-ID Encl-SN Ch Slot  Rev      Boot-rev CSB  HW-rev ST-rev
        -------------------------------------------------------------
        0       07EE85  2  upper DP0569a  0548     0500 11     0552
        0       07EE85  3  lower DP0569a  0548     0500 11     0552
 
 2. Examine the firmware revision code displayed in the "Rev" column.
    In the example above, both the upper and lower SATA routers contain
    DP0569a firmware, and an update is necessary.  If all of the lines
    contain a revision code of DP0579 in the Rev column, then no firmware
    update is necessary and you should skip to "MUX Firmware Upgrade."
 
 3. Type the following command at the sccli> prompt:
 
         download sata-router-firmware FW_DP0579.dlf
 
 4. If you do not have a redundant configuration, or do have a 
    single-controller environment, sccli prompts you to continue. If you 
    specify Y at the prompt, sccli shuts down the controller, performs the
    download, and then resets the controller.
 
 5. Run the sccli "show sata-router" command again to verify that all
    devices have been upgraded to version DP0579, as indicated by the
    "Rev" column.  In the example below, the Rev column has changed to
    "DP0579" for both routers:
 
      sccli> show sata-router
        Encl-ID Encl-SN Ch Slot  Rev      Boot-rev CSB  HW-rev ST-rev
        -------------------------------------------------------------
        0       07EE85  2  upper DP0579   0548     0500 11     0552
        0       07EE85  3  lower DP0579   0548     0500 11     0552
 
=====================
 
MUX Firmware Upgrade:
 
---------------------
 
    -------
    Caution:
    -------
    This MUX firmware upgrade will interrupt I/O. To avoid any possibility
    of application failures or filesystem corruption, ensure that no host
    I/O occurs while the MUX upgrade is taking place.
 
 1. Verify the MUX firmware revision by issuing the sccli "show sata-
    mux" command:
 
        sccli> show sata-mux
        24 mux boards found
 
        Ch Id  Mux-SN Mux-Type PC150/Rev PC150/Boot

    -----
    Note:
    -----
    The number of MUX boards is based on the configuration. There can 
    be up to twelve boards for the RAID enclosure and up to twelve for
    each expansion chassis. The example above has one RAID enclosure
    and one expansion chassis. 
 
 2. Examine the firmware revision code displayed in the "PC150/Rev"
    column.  If all of the lines contain a revision code of BB42 in the
    PC150/Rev column, then no firmware update is necessary and you 
    should skip to "After Upgrading."
 
 3. Type the following command at the sccli> prompt:
 
         download sata-path-controller-firmware PC_BB42.dat
 
 4. If you do not have a redundant configuration, or do have a 
    single-controller environment, sccli prompts you to continue. If you 
    specify Y at the prompt, sccli shuts down the controller, performs the
    download, and then resets the controller. 
 
 5. Run the sccli "show sata-mux" command again to verify that all
    devices have been upgraded to version BB42, as indicated by the
    "PC150/Rev" column.  In the example below, the PC150/Rev column
    has "BB42" for all MUX boards:
 
        sccli> show sata-mux
        24 mux boards found

         2  27 000CA8 A/A      BB42      0300
 
 
================
 
After Upgrading:
 
----------------
 
 1. If the SSCS agent was stopped, 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.
 
 2. If other storage management software such as StorADE was stopped,
    restart it following the procedures in the documentation for that
    software.
 
=============================
Special Install Instructions: 
-----------------------------
These README instructions require that RAID controller 4.1x firmware already
be present on any arrays being upgraded. If your array currently has version
3.2x controller firmware installed, do NOT attempt to use the instructions in
this README to upgrade from version 3.2x to version 4.21. Instead, follow the
detailed instructions in the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Controller
Firmware Migration Guide. This document is part of the Sun StorEdge 3000
Family documentation set and can be downloaded by following the links from
Sun Product Documentation's Workgroup Storage web page:
