Reestablishing Host Connections After Upgrading DS-KGPSA-BC
Firmware
V3.x firmware is Fibre Channel Standard compliant and uses a different World
Wide Name (WWN) for Host and Port (2xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx format for Host
and 1xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx for Port, where xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is identical in
both).
After upgrading the DS-KGPSA-BC HBA firmware from V2.x to V3.x, the new
WWN structure may create new host connections on the HSG80 controllers for
the HBA, thereby marking the original host connections “offline” and no longer
usable.
To maintain server access to storage units behind the HSG80 controllers, change
the storage units’ access to use the new host connections:
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the maintenance port of Controller A and get a
listing of the host connections by typing the command:
