Problem Description: 
--------------------
 
This patch contains firmware that is installed on the Sun StorEdge 3120
SCSI jbod using Sun StorEdge CLI, rather than using installpatch or
patchadd.
 
You do not need to install this patch if you have the following
firmware revision level in all of your StorEdge 3120 enclosures:
 
         SAF-TE firmware:     1180
 
You do need to install this patch if you have any of the following:
 
      * SAF-TE firmware 1170, 1167
 
This patch contains firmware that is installed on the Sun StorEdge 3120
jbod using Sun StorEdge CLI, rather than using installpatch or patchadd.

Patch Installation Instructions: 
==========================
 
Invoking Sun StorEdge CLI:
 
---------------------------
 
Version 2.3 or greater of the "sccli" CLI utility is required. It is included
in the SUNWsscs package, which may be downloaded from the Sun Download Center
or installed from the optional Sun StorEdge Professional Storage Manager CD.
 
For software installation or upgrading instructions, refer to the "Sun
StorEdge 3000 Family Software Installation Guide." Click the link for your
jbod on the Sun Documentation Centers Storage web page at:
 
sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Network_Storage_Solutions/
 
Select the most recent version of software and then download the Software
Installation Guide.
 
The firmware procedures require the user to invoke Sun StorEdge CLI (sccli)
using the appropriate syntax for the type of connection used to manage the 
array.
 
Invoke sccli with the name of an SAF-TE device:
 
        sccli /dev/es/ses<n>
 
To verify the version of "sccli" you are running type the following command
at the sccli> prompt:
 
       version
 
 
========================
 
Upgrading Firmware:
 
------------------------
 
 1. Verify the SAF-TE firmware version. Type the following command at the
    sccli> prompt:
 
        show safte
 
        sccli> show safte
        Ch  Id  Chassis  Vendor  Product ID        Rev   Package
        ---------------------------------------------------------
         0  14  000187   SUN     StorEdge 3120  D  1180  1180
 
    Examine the SAF-TE firmware revision codes displayed in the "Rev"
    column and "Package" column. If all the lines contain a revision code
    of 1180 in the "Rev" field and "Package" field then no SAF-TE firmware
    update is necessary and you should skip to "After Upgrading."  In the
    example above, the "Rev" field and "Package" field is 1180 for both
    devices and therefore NO upgrade is needed.
 
 2. Since the SSCS agent may interfere with the download of SAF-TE code, it
    is necessary to stop any SSCS agent that may be running on a host
    connected to the jbod .  To stop the SSCS agent, issue the
    shell command as "root" user:
 
       /etc/init.d/ssagent stop
 
    If the SSCS agent is running on a Microsoft Windows system connected
    to the array, use the Services application (Start->Run->services.msc)
    to stop the SSCS Agent service.
 
    StorADE, or any other application that monitors the status of the
    enclosure, may also interfere with controller or SAF-TE firmware
    downloads. Stop the StorADE agent software, or any other software that
    monitors the array, following the procedures described in the
    documentation for that application.
 
 4. Perform the upgrade. Type the following command at the sccli> prompt:
 
       download safte-firmware saftefw_3120_1180.bin
 
 5. Verify that all SAF-TE devices have been upgraded. Type the following
    command at the sccli> prompt:
 
        show safte
 
        sccli> show safte
        Ch  Id  Chassis  Vendor  Product ID        Rev   Package
        ---------------------------------------------------------
         0  14  012345   SUN     StorEdge 3120  D  1180  1180
 
 
    The lines should now contain a revision of 1180 as indicated by the
    "Rev" column and the "Package" column.
 
================
 
After Upgrading:
 
----------------
 
 1. If the SSCS agent was stopped, restart it with the command 
    "/etc/init.d/ssagent start" if it is installed on Solaris,
    or using the Services utility (Start->Run->"services.msc") if it
    is installed on Microsoft Windows.
 
 2. If other storage management software such as StorADE was stopped,
    restart it following the procedures in the documentation for that
    software.
 
=============================
Special Install Instructions: 
-----------------------------
 
None.
