8-1 System requirements for storage systems
To use Device Manager or Tiered Storage Manager to manage storage systems, you need storage
system management tools and software in addition to Device Manager and Tiered Storage
Manager.
8-2 Updating the microcode or firmware
If you want to update the microcode or firmware of a storage system, follow the procedure below.
While the microcode or firmware is being updated, do not change the configuration by, for example,
refreshing the storage system or performing path operations.
To update the microcode or firmware:
1. Make sure that no Device Manager refresh or setup operations are being executed on the
target storage system.
You need to ensure that operations such as adding or removing storage, creating or deleting
LDEVs, and setting the host mode have finished.
NOTE: You do not need to stop the Device Manager server.
2. Temporarily change the settings in the property file so that the Device Manager database is not
updated while the microcode or firmware is being updated.
Change the property settings in the server.properties file as follows:
○ Change the setting for the
server.dispatcher.daemon.configUpdate.detection.interval property to 0.
○ Change the setting for the server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.doRefresh
property to false.
3. Update the microcode or firmware.
During the update, an error might be output to the trace log or error log because of storage
system polling. This error will not be output after the microcode is changed successfully.
4. Set the SVP tuning parameters, and then restart the SVP.
5. For P9500 or XP24000/XP20000, restart the Device Manager server.
6. Manually refresh the storage system.
7. Restore the property settings that you changed in step 2.
