Software and firmware support code upgrades
To enable support for the DS5020, you must make sure that your system software
and firmware are the correct versions. To find the latest DS Storage Manager
software, storage subsystem controller firmware, ESM, and NVSRAM firmware,
check the firmware readme files. See “Finding DS5020 and DS4000-family readme
files” on page xxiv to learn how to access the readme files on the Web.
See the IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager Installation and Host Support
Guide for your operating system for instructions that describe how to install the
DS5020 controller firmware and Storage Manager host software.
Note: For the latest information about supported servers and operating systems,
refer to the interoperability matrix at this Web site:
Determining firmware levels
There are two different methods to determine the DS5020 storage subsystem and
firmware versions. Each method uses the DS Storage Manager client that manages
the DS5020 storage subsystem.
Method One:
Go to the Subsystem Management window and select View > Storage Subsystem
Profile. When the Storage Subsystem Profile window opens, select the All tab and
scroll through the Profile For Storage Subsystem list to locate the following
information.
Note: The Profile For Storage Subsystem list contains all the profile information for
the entire subsystem. Therefore, it might be necessary to scroll through a
large amount of information to locate the firmware version numbers.
DS5020 Storage Server
v
NVSRAM version
v
Appware version
v
Bootware version
Drives
v
Firmware version
v
ATA translator card firmware version (SATA E-DDMs only)
Note: The ATA translator card firmware and drive firmware are typically
packaged together as a single drive firmware upgrade file.
ESM
v
ESM card firmware version
Method Two:
Complete the applicable procedure to obtain the specified firmware version.
To obtain the controller firmware version:
Right-click the Controller icon in the Physical View pane of the Subsystem
Management window and select Properties. The Controller Enclosure
properties window opens and displays the properties for that controller.
