version
is
05.42.xx.xx
for
the
DS4100
storage
subsystem
and
05.41.5x.xx
for
the
DS4500
and
the
DS4300
storage
subsystems.
The
associated
EXP100
ESM
firmware
must
be
at
version
9554.
This
release
has
the
following
characteristics:
v
The
coexistence
(intermix)
of
Fibre
Channel
drives
and
SATA
drives
in
a
DS4000
storage
subsystem
is
still
not
supported.
This
requires
that
the
DS4000
storage
subsystem
go
through
a
special
controller
upgrade
process
to
load
the
05.41.5x.xx
firmware,
because
the
DS4000
storage
subsystem
will
not
see
any
EXP100
enclosures
or
SATA
drives
until
the
controller
firmware
version
05.41.5x.xx
is
loaded.
Note:
The
DS4100
subsystem
is
shipped
only
with
the
controller
firmware
version
05.42.xx.xx,
which
supports
SATA
drives.
Therefore,
the
special
controller
firmware
installing
procedure
described
above
is
not
applicable
to
the
DS4100.
v
The
EXP100
ESM
now
supports
Full
High
Availability
(FHA).
With
this
functionality,
in
the
event
of
ESM
or
Fibre
Channel
cabling
failure,
the
drives
that
belong
to
the
failed
ESM
will
fail-over
to
the
surviving
ESM,
whether
or
not
the
ESM
remains
inserted
in
the
EXP100
drive
enclosure
chassis.
In
either
case,
with
FHA,
the
controller
can
recognize
any
of
the
drives
that
were
managed
by
the
failed
ESM.
v
Upgrading
the
EXP100
ESM
firmware
from
953x
to
9554
requires
the
controller
firmware
version
05.41.1x.xx.
It
is
not
possible
to
upgrade
the
EXP100
ESM
from
any
pre-9554
version
to
the
9554
version
if
the
controller
firmware
of
the
attached
DS4000
storage
subsystem
is
version
05.41.5x.xx
or
version
05.42.xx.xx.
In
addition,
you
should
not
insert
an
ESM
with
firmware
version
9554
into
an
EXP100
that
contains
an
ESM
with
firmware
version
953x
installed.
If
you
do,
the
Storage
Manager
Subsystem
Management
window
will
show
the
EXP100
with
all
slots
empty,
and
will
mark
the
drives
in
those
slots
as
failed.
Third
release:
The
third
release
of
the
DS4000
controller
firmware/NVSRAM
provided
SATA
support
for
the
DS4100,
DS4300,
DS4400,
DS4500,
and
DS4800
storage
subsystems
to
support
the
attachment
of
the
EXP100.
The
latest
controller
firmware
versions
for
this
release
is
06.12.0x.xx
(for
the
DS4100,
DS4300,
DS4400
and
DS4500)
and
06.15.15.xx
(for
the
DS4800
storage
subsystem).
The
associated
EXP100
ESM
firmware
version
is
still
9554.
This
release
had
the
following
characteristics:
v
The
coexistence
(intermix)
of
Fibre
Channel
expansion
enclosures
and
SATA
expansion
enclosures
in
a
DS4000
storage
subsystem
is
now
supported,
with
the
purchase
and
enablement
of
the
DS4000
Storage
Manager
FC/SATA
Intermix
Premium
Feature.
If
the
controller
firmware
installed
in
the
DS4000
storage
subsystem
is
version
06.1x.xx.xx,
no
separate
controller
firmware
or
firmware
installation
procedures
are
required
to
support
FC/SATA
Intermix;
Fibre
Channel
drives
only;
or
SATA
drives
only.
You
can
follow
the
documented
controller
firmware
and
NVSRAM
firmware
upgrade
procedures
in
the
appropriate
IBM
TotalStorage
DS4000
Storage
Manager
Installation
and
Support
Guide
for
your
host
operating
system.
However,
in
order
to
intermix
Fibre
Channel
and
SATA
expansion
enclosures
in
a
DS4000
subsystem,
you
must
purchase
and
enable
the
DS4000
Storage
Manager
FC/SATA
Intermix
Premium
Feature.
Note:
If
you
want
to
intermix
Fibre
Channel
and
SATA
expansion
enclosures
in
an
existing
DS4000
configuration
with
non-06.1x.xx.xx

firmware
installed,
