     1.1 Overview of this code

     The IBM FAStT Field tool is a utility for upgrading FAStT Fibre
     Disk Drive and ESM firmware on FAStT 200, 500, and 700 Controllers
     running 05.21.xx.xx firmware or earlier.

     1.2 Limitations

         The update program will only update ESM amd drive firmware.

         This tool is not a replacement for the FAStT Storage Manager
         Client and should not be used to manage the subsystems.

         The update supports Hard Disk Drive options installed in EXP500,
         EXP700, and FAStT200 storage enclosures controlled by any IBM
         FAStT TotalStorage Server.

         This tool can also be used to capture Serial State Capture
         information as outlined in RETAIN Tip 172801. See

         http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4VVPEF

         for more deails on Serial State Capture.

         The minimum controller firmware levels for this update are:

         7.10/04.01 Client Software/Firmware:

         Model Type    Appware/Bootware              NVSRAM

         3552-1RU      04.01.02.33/04.01.02.03       NV3552R710NT012

         3542-2RX      04.01.02.34                   NV3542R710NT020

         8.21/05.21 Client Software/Firmware:

         Model Type    Appware/Bootware              NVSRAM

         3552-1RU      05.21.05.10/05.00.02.00       CNV3552R820NT012

         FAStT Controllers with 05.30.xx.xx or higher firmware should use
         the FAStT Storage Manager 8.3 Client to download Fibre hard Disk
         and ESM firmware.

     1.3 Enhancements

     	 The FAStT Field Tool has been upgraded to support FAStT controllers
     	 running 05.21.xx.xx firmware.  The FAStT Field Tool also now supports
     	 selecting multiple disks of the same time for update.

     1.4 Level of Recommendation

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

     1.5 Dependencies

         Before running the IBM FAStT Field Tool, first update the FAStT
         controller NVSRAM/Firmware to the levels listed above or higher. Next
         make sure that all activity to the controller is stopped before any ESM
         or Hard Drive firmware upgrades begin.

         Note:  This application only runs on Windows NT 4.0 SP6A and
         Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (or higher) operating systems.  It
         can connect to the FAStT family of controllers through the network
         to a fibre attached controller running a Host Agent (in band) or
         directly through an ethernet network (out of band) in the same
         manner as the FAStT Storage Manager Client.

             one of your own.

             Note:  Do NOT choose to install the Field tool into an existing
             Storage Manager Client Directory.

          e. Once the install is complete, and the question to re-boot the
             system 'now' is asked, click 'No' and then 'Finish'.  (Rebooting
             is only necessary to activate the Field Tool over Serial function
             which is not needed for this process.)

     3.3 Starting the IBM FAStT Fibre Channel Storage Manager 8.21 Field Tool

          a. To prevent confusion, close the Storage Manager Client if it is
             running.

             Field Tool (Enterprise Management)'.  This will be referred to
             as the main window.

          f. A window will pop-up asking you to perform an auto-discover.
             Select yes to perform the discover and allow the Storage Manager
             GUI to find all Storage Subsystems.

     3.4 Downloading the ESM Firmware

          a. Double click a storage subsystem which has ESMs to
             be updated.  This will open the 'IBM FAStT Storage Manager 8
             Field Tool (Subsystem Management)' window.

          b. From the tool bar, click 'Tools'; click 'Download';

	         This must be done so that the ESM update completes
	         before there is a system time out.

	      d. Only ESMs at 9150 or 9163 level code need to be updated.

	      e. Select the downlevel ESMs (1 enclosure only) to be updated by
             highlighting them.  To locate the code to be downloaded to the
             selected drives click 'Browse'; then locate the file
             in the \ESM folder or wherever you extracted the archive named
             9166_p2.s3r Click on the file; click 'Open'. You will be returned
             to the 'Download Firmware' window. The window status column will
             report complete when the download is finished. (about 6 minutes)

     3.5 Downloading Hard Disk Drive Firmware

          a. Double click a storage subsystem which has Hard Disk Drives to
             be updated.  This will open the 'IBM FAStT Fibre Channel Storage
             Manager Field Tool (Subsystem Management)' window.

          b. From the tool bar, click 'Tools'; click 'Download';
             click 'Drive Firmware'. The 'Download Drive Firmware' window
             will open, displaying a list of drives attached to the
             storage subsystem.

               Note: Each drive has an associated Product ID. Multiple drives
               of the same product ID can be selected together to perform
               unattended updates.

          c. Select drive(s), with the same Product ID, to be updated by
             highlighting them.  To locate the code to be downloaded to the
             selected drives click 'Browse'; then locate the file
             in the FAStT_FieldTool\Firmware\drives folder or wherever you
	         extracted the files to with the same name as the drive's Product
	         ID. Click on the file; click 'Open'. You will be returned to the
	         'Download Drive Firmware' window.

          d. Click 'Start' button; A 'Confirm Download' window will pop-up to
