IBM System Storage™ DS4000 Storage Manager version 9.16.A5.44 for Linux on pSeries Servers (Linux on POWER - LoP). NOTE TO SERVICE – Reference RETAIN # N/A Last Update: 05/24/2006 May 24, 2006 - Storage Manager Installer package version 09.16.A5.44 - Support new DS4700 Storage Subsystem models 70A/H and 72A/H, which support the attachment of DS4000 EXP710 and EXP810 Storage Expansion Enclosures. - Support new DS4800 Storage Subsystem Model 80A/H, which provides the same functionality as the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, with better performance. - Support new 4Gbps Fibre Channel drives in the DS4000 EXP810 Storage Expansion Enclosure. March 26, 2006 - Storage Manager Installer package version 09.16.A5.09 - To correct the ambiguous warning statement in the pop-up window, that was displayed as part of the storage manager host software installer wizard. The existing warning statement might cause the customer to incorrectly interpret that he could not upgrade the controller firmware of the DS4000 controllers in a configuration with EXP100 enclosures after he installed the new storage manager host software. This change is for the storage manager SMIA installer package only. All of the storage manager host software components will have the same version as the ones that were released on 3/07/2006. March 7, 2006 - Support for attachment of DS4000 EXP810 Storage Expansion to the DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware 06.16.xx.xx installed. - Supports automatic ESM firmware synchronization with the new EXP810 storage expansion enclosure. When you install a new ESM into an existing EXP810 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. Support for automatic EXP810 enclosure ID conflict resolution. December 01, 2005 - Support the DS4100, DS4300, DS4400, DS4500 and DS4800 controller firmware versions that 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). Note: The drive enclosure EXP100 ESM must also be updated to version 9563 or later. - Support controller firmware version 06.12.16.xx or higher on the DS4100 storage subsystem with Single Controller option - The DS4100 storage subsystem with standard option is now supported the DS4000 Copy Services Remote Mirroring and VolumeCopy premium features. - Fix defect C291078 (90136/89954) - when managing DS4000 controllers with firmware version 06.10.xx.xx or 06.12.xx.xx installed, highlighting the selected drive firmware update package will result in no drives being listed as compatible in the select drives for firmware updating window. - Fix defect C290432 (91773) SM9_R3 MIB Naming violation causing compilation failure - Fix defect 87085 (~86641) Unable to see free capacity node of a migrated logical drive/array - Fix 87313 (~87099) RVM Repository Volume Cache States are missing from Array - Add 87941 (~85376) Support Diagnostic Data Capture (DDC) functions in the DS4000 controller firmware - Fix defect 88007 (~87397) (C273843) RVM logical drive status is inconsistent. The storage subsystem profile and RVM logical drive properties status can indicate "Not Available" when GUI fly-over status indicates optimal, mirror synchronized. Some RVM volumes update the status correctly over time while others don't appear to change from the "Not Available" state. - Fix defect 89457 Create FlashCopy wizard Subsystem Management online help incorrect in some circumstances - Fix defect 93883 Not Printing out Stack Trace in Diagnostic Data Capture - August 30, 2005 - Re-release of the software package to add the support of RedHat EL 4 update 1 in Linux on Power (LoP) host servers. In addition, the new model of the DS4800 storage subsystem with 8G of cache per controller is also supported with this release (model 88A/H.) - July 16, 2005 - Support added for RedHat 3 update 5. - Support the DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 06.15.11.xx. With this version of firmware, the DS4800 controllers utilize all of the available data cache memory installed in each controller blade for I/O caching. Previously with controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx, the DS4800 controllers used only the first 1G bytes of the installed data cache memory per controller for I/O caching. - June 16, 2005 - Support the DS4800 storage subsystem with controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx - Support the Enhanced Remote Mirroring feature option on the DS4100 storage subsystem with standard/base option and controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx - Support the FC/SATA intermix feature option on the DS4300 storage subsystem with standard/base option and controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx - Linux RDAC support for LoP server running SLES 9 Service Pack 1 - Support DS4000 Storage Manager host software packages - SMclient, SMutil, and SMagent packages on the LoP pSeries servers with SLES 9 SP1 and Redhat RHEL3 update 4 / update 5. - Support DS4000 Storage Manager host software installation via a single installation wizard package. - April 15, 2005 - Support for the DS4000 storage subsystems with controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx. - Full functionality support for the DS4100 storage subsystems - February 22, 2005 - Redhat EL 3 update 4 first support release for Linux on Power (LoP) servers. - Support for the DS4000 Storage manager Linux RDAC driver version 09.00.A5.06 - February 8, 2005 - Support the controller firmware version 06.10.xx.xx or higher for the DS4300 storage subsystems with standard option.
