- The Sun Download Center, http://www.sun.com/download, listed
as StorageTek 6140 Array Management Software 2.1 General Availability

This software can be used to manage a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6130 array, however the controller firmware baseline included for the 6130 (06.12.09.10) is lower than the latest released controller firmware for that array (06.12.10.11).

If a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6130 array running firmware 06.12.10.11 is managed by v2.1, then various actions will cause the software to report the array does not meet the firmware baseline, and will recommend an "upgrade" to 06.12.09.10. This is really a downgrade, and the array can stay at firmware 06.12.10.11

In the Configuration Service GUI, the recommendation will be seen when first registering the array using the "Register Array" wizard, or when upgrading firmware, running the "Analyze and Upgrade Array Firmware" wizard.

At the "Analyze Array Firmware" step of the wizard, it will report that the "Current Firmware" for the Controller is 06.12.10.11 while the "Baseline" for the controller firmware is 06.12.09.10. The pre-selected action will be either "Upgrade all" or "Upgrade, no disks", with the message "Full upgrade is recommended, array is not at the baseline".

In these circumstances, the action can be changed to "Do not upgrade", and the warning message that is reported ("Some functions might not be available unless all array components are at the baseline") can be ignored.

If a customer has accidentally downgraded the
SE6130 controller firmware to 06.12.09.10 and needs to return to
firmware 06.12.10.11, the following command can be run on the
management host to change the baseline to be 06.12.10.11 :

For v2.0 :

# mv /var/sadm/swimages/117856-26/CRM-F /var/sadm/swimages/117856-26/old-CRM-F

 # cp -r /var/sadm/swimages/117856-19/CRM-F /var/sadm/swimages/117856-26/

For v2.1 :

# mv /var/sadm/swimages/117856-27/CRM-F /var/sadm/swimages/117856-27/old-CRM-F

 # cp -r /var/sadm/swimages/117856-19/CRM-F /var/sadm/swimages/117856-27/

After running these commands, re-run the "Analyze and Upgrade
Array Firmware" wizard on the array, and an upgrade back to
06.12.10.11 can be performed

NB: If the directory /var/sadm/swimages/117856-19/CRM-F does not
exist on the management host, it will need to be retrieved directly
from patch 117856-19 Click
Here

In this case, there is no need to install 117856-19, just run the
"cp -r" using the sub-directory
SUNWc6130/reloc/var/sadm/swimages/117856-19/CRM-F directly from the
patch
