using online exchange procedure, while the upgrade process were
at the stage of DKU micro-program upgrade, the following error
messages SMT3167E where received at the SVP (Service Console)
"Driver information acquisition failed for the following HDD:
HDDR16-1A"

An exchange of a microprogram finished abnormally.
Please check subsystem status and microprogram version
with MAINTENANCE, and also, check information from log ->
Information for details:
Upon reviewing the Running/FW (firmware) informations from
maintenance, and compared them with ECN (21-14-30-00/00)
Micro-program version list, all micro-programs such as
SVP,SSVP,DKCMAIN,LCP,CUDG,RAM Boot.etc were all upgraded as
listed in the ECN (Engineering Change Number) bulletin.
Retry the process by just upgrading DKU micro-program, error
persisted with error messages with "SMT3167E" on HDDR16-1A.
Micro-program - DKU upgrade still failed which prevent the
completion of the Microcode update leaving version up procedures,
such as: config version up, config backup, etc. unable to proceed.


Resolution
(1) Check the faulty HDDR16-1A with MAINTENANCE tool, it was in normal
status but not failed.
(2) Replace HDD (Hard Disk) - HDDR16-1A.  For detailed, follow the disk
replacement procedure of the maintenance manual for HDD normal status
(Not failed) replacement and remember to do correction copy.
(3) When the correction copy end and completed successfully, complete the
related SIM (System Information Messages).
(4) Re-run DKU Micro-program upgrade.  This time, the upgrade process
completed successfully and reported:
"The DKU microprogram is not updated because of the same revision."
(If there is actual needs for DKU FW upgrade, of course, system will
automatically start the microcode upgrade)
"An exchange of a microprogram finished normally.
Please check subsystem status and microprogram version
with MAINTENANCE"
What the above meant was that Microcode upgrade were successfully
ended now.
(5) Remember to follow-up on all the remaining procedure according to
microcode ECN version up procedures.

Internal Comments
"Driver information aquisition failed for the following HDD:
HDDR16-1A" means that system could not read HDDR16-1A's Disk
Firmware informations during DKU - micro-program upgrade stage,
so, system could not determin whether it need to upgrade the
faulty HDD's disk firmware.
