     1.1 Overview of this code

      The IBM DS4000/DS5000 Hard Disk and ESM Update Pack contains ESM and 
      hard disk drive firmware updates for FAStT200s, FAStT500s, DS3950s, 
      DS4200s, DS4300s, DS4400s, DS4500s, DS4700s, DS4800s, DS5020, 
      DS5100s, and DS5300s with EXP100s, EXP395s, EXP420s, EXP500s, 
      EXP520s, EXP700s, EXP710s EXP810s, DCS370080E, EXP5000 and EXP5060 
      attached. CAUTION: IBM does not support the combination of EVERY 
      DS4000/DS5000 external drive enclosure type and model in every 
      DS4000/DS5000 Storage Subsystem configuration. Restrictions on the 
      connection of drive expansion enclosures, that differ by model and 
      type, to DS4000/DS5000 Storage Subsystems are documented in the 
      appropriate DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems and drive expansion 
      enclosures Installation, User's and Maintenance Guides. This 
      information is also documented in the IBM System Storage 
      DS4000/DS5000 Hard Drive and Storage Expansion Enclosure Installation 
      and Migration Guide that is available from the IBM System Storage?
      Disk Storage Systems Technical Support web site and in the marketing 
      announcements for your storage subsystem models.

      Note: The latest version of the change history file contains the 
            complete change history for all versions (including the latest 
            version) of the ESM firmware and the drive firmware that are 
            included in this package.
      
      The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP500 ESM is 9166.

      The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP700 ESM is 9330. The version 
      9330 ESM firmware incorporated a fix for a bug that was introduced in 
      the ESM firmware version 9327. The bug resulted in the ESM i2c bus 
      timeout being incorrectly set to a value that caused device access 
      failures via i2c buses, which, in turn, causing the DS4000 to report 
      unnecessary error events to the DS4000 controllers. It also caused 
      280D errors posted in the subsystem event log after the ESM was 
      upgraded to 9327, 9328 or 9329 version.
  
      IMPORTANT:
        - For the EXP700 drive expansion enclosures, the ESM firmware must be 
          at version 9326 or higher if the DS4000 subsystems that they are
          connected to are going to be upgraded to controller firmware version
          06.xx.xx.xx or higher. The DS4000 storage subsystem with controller
          firmware version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher might not recognize EXP700
          with ESM firmware 9324 or earlier. 


      The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP710 ESM is 9682. Version 9661
      and higher is required to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810
      with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500,
      DS4700 and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version
      6.23.xx.xx and 6.60.xx.xx. 

      Note: The DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware version 
            06.1x.xx.xx or higher is required for EXP710 drive expansion
            enclosure attachment.

      IMPORTANT:
        - If the existing controller firmware version is 6.12.27.00 or earlier, 
          do not upgrade the EXP710 ESM firmware to version 9639 or later 
          without upgrading the controller firmware to version 6.12.27.03 or 
          later first. Drives might be incorrectly marked as failed if the 
          EXP710 ESM firmware is upgraded to version 9639 or higher with 
          controller firmware is at version 6.12.27.00 or earlier.
        - EXP710 ESM firmware 9661 requires controller firmware 06.12.40.00 or
          later before upgrading for a similar reason.


      The microcode(firmware)level for the EXP5000, EXP810, EXP520, EXP420 
      and EXP395 ESM is 98G0. Important: The EXP810s and EXP420s that are 
      connected to storage subsystems with controller firmware version 
      6.60.xx.xx and older installed should be at ESM firmware version 98D6 
      instead of 98G0. 
       
      Note: 
       - EXP420 is supported attached to the DS4200 only
       - EXP520 is supported attached to the DS5020 only. 
       - EXP395 is supported attached to DS3950 only.
       - EXP5000 is supported with DS5100 and DS5300 only.
       - DCS370080E is supported attached to the DCS370080C only.
       - EXP810 is supported attached to the DS5020 and DS3950 with 
         the purchase of appropriate premium feature pack.
       - EXP810 is supported attached to DS5100/DS5300 storage subsystem via 
         RPQs.
       - EXP810 with ESM firmware 9898 or higher is supported attaching to 
         the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700, and DS4800 subsystems with controller 
         firmware version 6.23.xx.xx and later. Version 9898 and higher is 
         also required to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810 with 
         EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500, 
         DS4700 and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware 
         version 6.23.xx.xx, 6.60.xx.xx and 7.xx.xx.xx and to support the 
         intermixing of the Fibre Channel and SATA E- DDMs within the 
         EXP810 drive expansion enclosure in any storage subsystem 
         configuration.
      -  The DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware version 06.16.xx.xx
         or higher is required for EXP810 drive expansion enclosure attachment. 

      - DS5000 EXP5000, mixed with EXP810s are supported attached to DS5100/DS5300 
        storage subsystems at ESM firmware level 98C2 and higher. 98C1 is the 
        initial ESM firmware level for the DS5000 EXP5000.
        
      - 98C5 is the initial ESM firmware release for EXP520.
      - 98D0 is the initial ESM firmware release for EXP395. 

      The ESM microcode(firmware)level for the EXP5060 is 9921. The version of 
      the ATA translator firmware in the EXP5060 drive slots should be LW1613. 
      This version of ATA translator firmware will support 3TB and higher 
      capacity drives. The 3TB and higher capacity drives inserted in the
      EXP5060 drive slots with ATA translator firmware version LW1428 
      will be reported as "Incompatible" drives.
      
      
      The ESM firmware level for the DCS3700 model 80E is 0363. 
      
      The ESM firmware level for the EXP3500 (EXP3512 EXP3524) is 0363. 0316 is
      the initial ESM firmware level for the EXP3500. 

      IMPORTANT: FRUs are starting to ship with these levels of ESM Firmware. If 
      the ESMs are not updated when the FRUs arrive at the higher level, the 
      down level ESM will need updating at that time.

      The following drives are supported with the DS3000/DS4000/DS5000 products.  
      Initial drive firmware releases are not included in this package but are 
      mentioned here for your reference.

     
      This release contains the following firmware for IBM FC-SAS Hard Disk 
      Drives:

      IMPORTANT:
       The DS5020, DS3950, EXP5000, EXP810, EXP520, and EXP395 FC-SAS drives 
       must have the FC-SAS interposer firmware version 2264 or later 
       installed. Some drives with FC-SAS interposer firmware version earlier 
       than 2264 report incorrect inquiry information during Start of Day. 
       This causes the controller firmware to make the drive uncertified 
       (incompatible), which in turn causes the drive to no longer be 
       accessible for I/O. This condition will also cause the associated array 
       to go offline.  Since the array is no longer accessible, the controller 
       firmware may not recover the cache for all LUNs under this array. This 
       behavior may result in data not being written.  The FC-SAS interposer 
       firmware version 2268 is available in the ESM/HDD firmware package 
       version 1.78 or later for the following drives ST9300605SS, 
       ST9600205SS, ST9900805SS, ST9300505SS, ST9600105SS, ST9900705SS, 
       ST9600204SS, ST9600104SS, ST33000650SS, SG9XCA2E200GEIBM, 
       SG9XCA2E400GEIBM, and HUS723030ALS640. 
       
       Note: The FC-SAS interposer firmware version 2268 is not available for 
       MBF2300RC, MBF2600RC, and MBF2300RE at this time, you may contact IBM 
       representatives for questions on availability of a fix for this drive.

           in the current version of controller firmware. IBM is working on 
           the fix and will notify users when the limitation is removed so 
           that drives with E9A1 firmware version can be upgraded to version
           E9A3.)

     IMPORTANT: For SATA drive CRUs, always use the hard drive and ATA
     translator firmware info only in the drive properties window for 
     making determination whether they need to have firmware updated 
     or not. The SATA drive CRU might displayed the last four characters of
     the drive firmware as the Package Version instead of the values shown
     above for certain combinations of the drive and ATA translator card firmware. 

   

     IMPORTANT:
       - Customers with IBM branded Hitachi FC drives should verify that these
         drives are at drive firmware JFQ8 before doing a controller firmware or
         ESM firmware download.  It has been observed that customers with older 
         versions of the Hitachi FC drive firmware have experienced failure of
         these Hitachi drives during controller firmware and ESM firmware downloads.
         Upgrading the drive firmware to JFQ8 will prevent this problem.

       - There are two versions of the fibre channel drive firmware download files. 
         These two versions are placed in the FC_HDD_SM8x_format and 
         FC_HDD_SM9x_format folders. The version of the currently installed 
         controller firmware in the DS4000 storage subsystem dictates which version 
         of the drive firmware files to use for updating the drive firmware. If the
         current DS4000 storage subsystem firmware version is of 06.xx.xx.xx, use 
         the firmware files in the FC_HDD_SM9x_format folder. Otherwise, if the 
         current DS4000 storage subsystem firmware version is of 05.xx.xx.xx and 
         earlier, use the firmware files in the FC_HDD_SM8x_format folder instead. 
         Note: Only drives that are supported with controller firmware version 
         5.xx.xx.xx had firmware downloadable files in the format that is compatible 
         with controller firmware version 5.xx.xx.xx.

       - THE DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL REQUIRE DOWNTIME. However, the 
         DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.xx.xx.xx and later
         installed can update all drives in a DS4000 storage subsystem 
         configuration for up to four different drive types at the same time.

       - FOR EACH DRIVE CAPACITY OPTION (500GB,700GB,or 1TB), THERE MIGHT BE 
         MULTIPLE PRODUCT IDS FOR THE DRIVES IN THAT OPTION AS INDICATED IN 
         THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION. Always use the drive product ID
         information as displayed in the DS4000 drive properties window or the
         DS4000 subsystem profile to select the appropriate drive firmware 
         file (as stated in section 1.4 Level Recommendation ....) for 
         download.

       - The SATA E-DDM and EV-DDM will have different product IDs. Always use
         the drive product ID information as displayed in the DS4000 drive 
         properties window or the DS4000 subsystem profile to select the 
         appropriate drive firmware file (as stated in section 1.4 Level 
         Recommendation ....) for download.   

     Note: As always, IBM recommends that customers employ frequent and 
           secure means of backing up the data.

     1.2 Limitations
                      
         UPDATING ESM FIRMWARE REQUIRES DOWNTIME (NO HOST I/O) IF THE 
         DS4000 CONTROLLER FIRMWARE LEVEL IS 05.21.XX.XX OR LOWER. In 
         addition, a special version of the Storage Manager SMclient
         program called the Storage Manager Field Tool must be used to 
         download ESM and hard disk firmware/Microcodes.
                  
         UPDATING HARD DISK MICROCODE REQUIRES DOWNTIME (NO HOST I/O).

         *Notes: -DS5000 models 1818-51A (DS5100), and 1818-53A (DS5300)
                  support only EXP5000, EXP810, and EXP5060 enclosures.
                 -EXP5000 is not supported attached to DS4100, DS4200,
                  DS4300, DS4400, DS4500, DS4700, or DS4800 storage
                  subsystems.        

         
         
        The following table shows the first four digits of the latest controller 
        firmware versions that are currently available for various models of the 
        DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems.

        The latest version of storage manager host software version 10.77.xx.xx 
        should be used to manage and update code in the DS storage subsystems. 
        The only exception is for DS storage subsystems with controller firmware 
        5.34..xx and earlier, storage manager host software version 10.36.xx.xx 
        should be used instead.

        SVC supports concurrent ESM firmware upgrades for DS4000 models when 
        they are running either 06.23.05.00 or later controller firmware. 
        However, controllers running firmware levels earlier than 06.23.05.00 
        will not be supported for concurrent ESM upgrades. Customers in this 
        situation, who wish to gain support for concurrent ESM upgrades, will 
        need to first upgrade the DS4000 controller firmware level to 06.23.05.00 
        or later. This action is a controller firmware upgrade, not an ESM upgrade 
        and concurrent controller firmware upgrades are already supported in 
        conjunction with SVC. Once the controller firmware is at 06.23.05.00 or 
        later, the ESM firmware can be upgraded concurrently.
            
         
     1.3 Enhancements
         
         See corresponding Change History document for more information.

     1.4 Level of Recommendation

         IBM considers this update to be highly recommended for all 
         customers.

         a. The microcode (firmware) level for the DCS370080E is 0363. This is
            also the initial ship level.  A configuration file has also been
            included (IBM_DCS3700_80E_HDR_0103.DL). This is also the initial
            ship level.

         b. The 9166 ESM firmware is needed for the EXP500 drive 
            enclosure ESMs to prevent accidental corruption from downloading 
            the wrong firmware to the ESM. In the environments where there 
            are EXP500s and EXP700s enclosures attached to the same DS4000 
            storage subsystem, it is IMPERATIVE that all EXP500s ESMs are 
            updated to 9166 before the EXP700 ESM firmware is applied.

         c. The 9330 ESM firmware is needed for the ESM of the EXP700 drive 
            enclosure ESMs to incorporate the important fix of the bug in the 
            EXP700 ESM firmware version 9327 and 9328 which caused large 
            number of the "280D Critical - Drive enclosure component failed 
            or removed" errors to be posted to the subsystem event log 
            incorrectly. It is preferred over the other versions (9326, 9327 
            or 9328) of the EXP700 ESM firmware that must be loaded into the 
            EXP700 drive expansion enclosures before the controller firmware 
            version 06.1x.xx.xx is downloaded into the DS4000 storage 
            subsystem because the DS4000 storage subsystem with controller 
            firmware version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher might not recognize the 
            EXP700 enclosures with ESM firmware version 9324 or earlier.

         d. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP710 ESM is 9682. Version
            9661 and higher is required to support the intermix of EXP710 and
            EXP810 with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300,
            DS4500, DS4700 and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller 
            firmware version 6.23.xx.xx.

            Configuration file Version 2.52 for EXP710 has been included in this 
            package. Version 2.51 has been removed. The file is required for the 
            SBOD ESM fault tolerance feature used in conjunction with 7.50.xx.xx 
            or greater controller firmware. This feature provides improved 
            Predictive Fault Analysis (PFA) for each switched-FC port connected 
            to a drive.  This allows FC-switch based ESMs to bypass a drive port 
            if any of the established port exception rate thresholds are exceeded.

         e. The microcode(firmware) level for the EXP5000,EXP810 and EXP420 
            ESM is 98G0. EXP810 will be supported attached to DS5100/DS5300 
            storage subsystem, and can be mixed with the EXP5000 attached 
            with these DS5000 subsystems. EXP810 will also be supported 
            attaching to the DS4300, DS4500, DS4700, and DS4800 with the 
            release of this ESM firmware 98D0 and higher. Important: The 
            EXP810s and EXP420s that are connected to storage subsystems 
            with controller firmware version 6.60.xx.xx and older installed 
            should be at ESM firmare version 98D6 instead of 98G0.
            
            Version 9898 and higher ESM firmware is needed for the EXP810 
            drive enclosure ESMs to support the intermix of EXP710 and EXP810 
            with EXP100 storage expansion enclosures behind the DS4300, DS4500,
            DS4700, and DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 
            6.23.xx.xx or later or the attachment of EXP810s in DS4300 and 
            DS4500 subsystems with controller firmware version 6.23.xx.xx or 
            later. 

            A configuration file for EXP810, EXP420 and EXP5000 has been 
            included in this package. The file is required for the SBOD ESM 
            fault tolerance feature used in conjunction with 7.50.xx.xx or 
            greater controller firmware. This feature provides improved 
            Predictive Fault Analysis (PFA) for each switched-FC port connected 
            to a drive.  This allows FC-switch based ESMs to bypass a drive port 
            if any of the established port exception rate thresholds are 
            exceeded. A minimum of ESM firmware version 98C2 is required 
            to install this configuration file. The latest version of the 
            configuration file is FD2.50. Units with older version of the 
            configuration file might have optimal fans being incorrectly
            marked as failed.
             
         f. The fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings
            - ST336605FC, ST373405FC, ST318453FC, ST336753FC, ST373453FC, 
            ST373307FC, ST336607FC, ST3146807FC - need to be updated with the 
            latest drive firmware files in this web download package. These 
            firmware files contained the the fix to the drive handling of 
            Fibre Channel LIPs and LPEs primitives, which is required to 
            prevent drives from being incorrectly marked as failures when 
            having EXP810s in the DS4300 and the DS4500 drive loop(s.) The 
            firmware version for ST336605FC and ST373405FC is B34C. The 
            firmware version for ST318453FC, ST336753FC and ST373453FC is 
            B95E. The firmware version for ST373307FC, ST336607FC, 
            ST3146807FC and ST318307FC is B35F. 
 
         g. The fibre channel drives with the following Product ID strings
            - ST336754FC, ST373454FC and ST3146854FC - need to be updated 
            with the drive firmware version B96B, which contains the fix to 
            the drive handling of Fibre Channel LIPs and LPEs primitives, 
            which is required to prevent drives from being incorrectly marked 
            as failures when having EXP810s in the DS4300 and the DS4500 
            drive loop(s.) 

         h. The DS4000 fibre channel drives with the following Product ID 
            strings HUS103073FLF21, HUS103030FLF21 and HUS103014FLF21 must 
            have their drive firmware updated to JFQ8 before hot inserting 
            any of the new DS4000 4Gbps hard drive options into the same 
            DS4000 EXP drive expansion enclosure that these drives are in. 
            This code has the fix for a potential incompatibility problem 
            with the new DS4000 4Gbps hard drive options when hot inserting 
            them in the same DS4000 EXP drive expansion enclosure. The 
            4Gbps drives will be operated at 2Gbps mode in this condition. 
            It also incorporate maintenance fixes for the several low-
            severity problems.

         i. The 4Gbps fibre channel drives with the following Product ID
            strings - ST336854FC, ST373554FC and ST3146954FC - need to be 
            updated with the drive firmware version B90A (minimium level). 
            This firmware file contains the fix to the drive handling of 
            Fibre Channel LIPs and LPEs primitives, which is required to 
            prevent drives from being incorrectly marked as failures when
            having EXP810s in the DS4300 and the DS4500 drive loop(s.)

         j. The 4Gbps fibre channel drives with the following Product ID
            strings - MAX3036FD, MAX3073FD, and MAX3147FD need to be updated
            with the drive firmware version S708.  This firmware contains the
            fix to the drive reporting an invalid frame as an internal hardware
            error.
             
         k. The 4Gbps fibre channel drives with the following Product ID
            strings - ST373455FC, ST3146855FC, and ST3300655FC need to be updated
            with the drive firmware version B977 (minimum level).
 
         l. The EXP520 ESM firmware version is 98G0. A configuration file for 
            EXP520 has also been included in this package. The file is required 
            for the SBOD ESM fault tolerance feature used in conjunction with 
            7.60.xx.xx or greater controller firmware. This feature provides 
            improved Predictive Fault Analysis (PFA) for each switched-FC port 
            connected to a drive.  This allows FC-switch based ESMs to bypass a 
            drive port if any of the established port exception rate thresholds 
            are exceeded. 
            
            A minimum of 98C5 ESM firmware is required to install the EXP520 
            configuration file. The latest version of the configuration file is 
            FD2.50. Units with older version of the configuration file might 
            have optimal fans being incorrectly marked as failed.
            
         m. The EXP5060 ESM firmware is 9921. The EXP5060 is shipped with ESM 
            version 9919. It is highly recommended to upgrade the EXP5060 to 
            version 9921 (included in package). Please consult the change list 
            for details.
            
            The version of the ATA translator firmware in the EXP5060 drive 
            slots should be LW1613. This version of ATA translator firmware 
            will support 3TB and higher capacity drives. The 3TB and higher 
            capacity drives inserted in the EXP5060 drive slots with ATA 
            translator firmware version LW1428 will be reported as 
            "Incompatible" drives.

            The configuration file version is 1.54. Units with older configuration
            file version might experience higher fan speed or erroneous 
            temperature exceeded events. 

         n. The EXP395 ESM firmware version is 98G0 (The EXP395 is shipped 
            with ESM firmware 98D0). The latest version of the configuration 
            file is FD2.50. Units with older version of the configuration file 
            might have optimal fans being incorrectly marked as failed.

         

         When replacing an ESM, if the surviving ESM in an EXP100, EXP420, EXP710, 
         EXP810, EXP5000, EXP395 or EXP5060 is downlevel and not updated before the 
         ESM is replaced, depending on the the installed version of the ESM firmware, 
         downtime may be needed to update the surviving ESM after the replacement is 
         inserted. If the new ESM is installed before the surviving ESM is updated, 
         the DS4000 controller will register an ESM hardware or firmware mismatch 
         error in the Recovery Guru. The new ESM will function, but long term 
         operation with a mismatch ESM firmware in a EXP drive expansion enclosure 
         is not recommended. Customers who have updated to DS4000 Storage Manager 8.3 
         or higher and controller firmware 05.30.xx.xx or higher can update ESMs 
         firmware online with no downtime if both ESMs are functional and ONLY 
         ONE EXP enclosure at a time is selected in the ESM firmware download 
         window for ESM firmware updating. CAUTION: Always check the 
         documentation of the applications that generate IOs to the DS4000 
         storage subsystem for any restrictions or prerequisites that will need 
         to be performed before performing concurrent ESM firmware downloads. 
         
         The EXP420, EXP710, EXP810, EXP5000, EXP395 and EXP5060 drive expansion 
         enclosures support automatic ESM firmware synchronization. When you 
         install a new ESM into an existing EXP that is attached to a DS4000 
         storage subsystem that supports automatic ESM firmware synchronization, 
         this feature resolves firmware mismatch conditions by automatically 
         synchronizing the firmware in the new ESM with the firmware in the 
         existing ESM. To enable automatic ESM firmware synchronization:

         1. Verify that the DS4000 Storage Manager Event Monitor is 
            installed and running. 
         2. Verify that the DS4000 storage subsystem that the EXP is 
            attached to is defined in the Enterprise Management window of 
            the DS4000 Storage Manager client (SMclient).
         

         IBM strongly recommends applying both the HDD and ESM firmware updates
         at the next possible maintenance window.  

     1.5 Dependencies

         IMPORTANT: Always check the DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystem controller 
         firmware README for any required minimum version of the attached 
         drive expansion enclosure ESM firmware for that particular 
         controller firmware release. Update the ESM firmware using 
         either the DS4000 Storage Manager Field Tool (DS4000 storage 
         subsystem with controller firmware version 5.21.xx.xx or earlier) 
         or the DS4000 Storage Manager SMClient program (DS4000 storage 
         subsystem with controller firmware version 5.3x.xx.xx or later).
                  
         Be sure to follow the following list of prerequisites before 
         updating hard disk or ESM firmware.

            - For Hard Disk Drive firmware updates, ensure that all activity 
              to the controller is stopped.

            - For ESM updates, all IOs activity must be stopped if the 
              DS4000 storage subsystem controllers are at any firmware 
              below 05.30.xx.xx. In addition, if multiple storage expansion 
              enclosures are selected for ESM firmware updating at the same 
              time, all IOs activity must also be stopped even if the 
              controllers are at any firmware 05.30.xx.xx or higher. 

            - For ESM updates, all EXP500s need to be updated to 9166 before
              EXP700s can be updated to 9329 or 9330.
              
            - For EXP700, if the existing controller firmware version is 
              5.xx.xx.xx, do not upgrade the controller firmware to version 
              6.xx.xx.xx before upgrading the EXP700 ESM to version 9326 or 
              higher. The DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware 
              version 06.xx.xx.xx or higher might not recognize EXP700 with 
              ESM firmware 9324 or earlier.

            - If the existing controller firmware version is 6.12.27.00 or 
              earlier, do not upgrade the EXP710 ESM firmware to version 
              9639 or later without upgrading the controller firmware to 
              version 6.12.27.03 or later first. Drives might be incorrectly
              marked as failed if the EXP710 ESM firmware is upgraded to 
              version 9639 or higher with controller firmware is at version
              6.12.27.00 or earlier.  EXP710 ESM firmware 9661 requires
              controller firmware 06.12.40.00 or later before upgrading for
              a similar reason.

         Note: Not all DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems support the latest 
         controller firmware version 7.60.xx.xx. The latest controller firmware 
         versions for the FAStT200 and FAStT500 storage subsystems are 
         05.30.xx.xx. In addition, the DS4300 storage subsystem with single 
         controller option, the Ds4300 with dual controller option, the DS4400 
         and the DS4500 storage subsystems can only be updated to latest 
         firmware version of 05.34.xx.xx, 6.60.xx.xx, 6.12.xx.xx and 6.60.xx.xx, 
         respectively. 
         
         If you are unsure about the sequence of firmware updates for 
         various components in the DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystem configuration, 
         please call IBM Support at 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) 
         before proceeding with the firmware upgrades.

         DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware versions 6.12.16.xx or 
         higher and EXP100 storage expansion enclosure ESM firmware version 9563 
         or higher are required to provide support for the new 400G SATA drive 
         options and CRUs (P/Ns 39M4570 and 39M4575, respectively) in addition 
         to the new 250G SATA drive CRUs (P/N 40K6837.) This new 250G SATA drive 
         CRU is functionally equivalent to the previously-released CRUs (P/N 
         90P1349).

2.0  Installation and Setup
___________________________
    
    2.1  Applying ESM updates on DS4000 controllers with 04.01.xx.xx or
         05.Ax.xx.xx (where A is < then 3 ie. 5.1x.xx.xx or 5.2x.xx.xx)
         firmware, use the IBM DS4000 Field Tool v8.21. See the 
         README included with the utility for directions on how to apply 
         updates. 
 
         Ensure that all activity to the DS4000 controllers is stopped while 
         performing ESM firmware updates with controller firmware 04.01.xx.xx 
         or 05.2x.xx.xx. 
         
         Allow approximately 5-10 minutes per ESM to complete the firmware 
         update.
         
         This will require downtime.

    
    2.2  Applying ESM updates on DS4000 Controllers with 05.3x.xx.xx firmware
         or higher.

         For more information on the ESM update procedure using the DS4000 
         Storage Manager Client version 8.3x, 8.4x or 9.x, see the on-line help 
         included in the DS4000 Storage Manager Client.
         
         For DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 10.x, perform the following
         steps to download drive expansion ESM firmware: 
         a. Open the Subsystem Management window. 
         b. Click Advanced => Maintenance => Download => Environmental(ESM) 
                                                          Card Firmware. 
         c. Follow the online instructions.

         For DS Storage Manager Client version 10.x and DS4000 subsystems 
         with controller firmware 7.10.xx.xx and later only, perform the 
         following steps to download drive expansion ESM Configuration 
         settings file when it is available for the appropriate drive 
         expansion enclosure models as indicated in section 1.4 Level of 
         Recommendation of this readme file. 
         a. Open the Subsystem Management window. 
         b. Click Advanced => Maintenance => Download => Environmental(ESM)
                                                         Configuration Settings 
         c. Follow the online instructions.

         For DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 8.3x and 8.4x, perform the 
         following steps to download drive expansion ESM firmware: 
         a. Open the Subsystem Management window. 
         b. Click Advanced => Download => Environmental(ESM)
                                          Card Firmware. 
         c. Follow the online instructions.

         Application of ESM firmware on DS4000 Controllers with 05.3x.xx.xx 
         firmware or higher should be performed by choosing only one EXP at 
         a time, and done during non-peak utilization periods. CAUTION: 
         Always check the documentation of the applications that generate 
         IOs to the DS4000 storage subsystem for any restrictions or 
         prerequisites that will need to be performed before performing 
         concurrent ESM firmware downloads.  
         
         If you have a maintenance window with downtime, you can stop all 
         I/Os and update all the ESMs at one time.

         Allow approximately 5-10 minutes per ESM to complete the firmware 
         update.

         Note:
             This same procedure is used to update the ESM configuration
             setting file.

    2.3  Ensure that all activities to the controllers is stopped while 
         performing hard disk drive (HDD) firmware updates with all levels 
         of controller firmware.
      
         Allow approximately 3-5 minutes per HDD to complete the firmware 
         update when the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware is at 
         05.xx.xx.xx or earlier. The DS4000 storage subsystems with 
         controller firmware 06.xx.xx.xx or higher can update the drive 
         firmware of all the drives in a given DS4000 configuration for up 
         to four different drive models at the same time; Thus, one could 
         update all of the drives in the DS4000 configuration in the same 
         amount of time that is needed to upgrade a single drive in the 
         DS4000 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 
         05.xx.xx.xx or earlier.
         
         THE DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL REQUIRE DOWNTIME. However, the 
         DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.xx.xx.xx 
         installed can update all drives in a configuration for up to four 
         different drive types at the same time. 
         
         IMPORTANT: In the DS4000/DS5000 storage subsystems with FC/SATA intermix 
         premium feature enable, do not download the drive firmware to both 
         SATA-technology hard drives and Fibre Channel-technology hard 
         drives at the same time. Complete the drive firmware download to 
         all of the drives of a drive technology (either SATA or FC) before 
         downloading the drive firmware to the drives of the other drive 
         technology (either FC or SATA).  

         For DS Storage Manager Client version 10.x, perform the following
         steps to download drive firmware 
   
         a.  Schedule down time because the drive firmware upgrades require 
             that there are no HOST I/Os to be sent to the DS4000 controllers.
         b.  Open the Subsystem Management window. 
         c.  Click Advanced => Maintenance => Download => Drive Firmware. 
             Follow the online instructions. 
             Note: with controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx or later, 
             multiple drives from up to four different drive types can be updated 
             at the same time. 

         For DS4000 Storage Manager Client version 8.3x and 8.4x, perform the 
         following steps to download drive firmware 
   
         a.  Schedule down time because the drive firmware upgrades require 
             that there are no HOST I/Os to be sent to the DS4000 controllers.
         b.  Open the Subsystem Management window. 
         c.  Click Advanced => Download => Drive Firmware. 
             Follow the online instructions. 
             Note: with controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx or later, 
             multiple drives from up to four different drive types can be updated 
             at the same time.
