Problem Description:

PSX1000 firmware version R02.00.01.147 addresses the following issues:
 
4952395 T3 F/W 3.1 causes problems with PSX-1000
4860448 Rebooting a chassis that is passing heavy I/O causes the Management
        Interface Card (MIC) to halt processor 3/1 or 4/1.
4807833 T3 LUNs do not fail back to their storage processors (SPs) when a failed
        Storage Resource Card (SRC) path is restored.
4850250 During Switch Fabric Card (SFC) or Storage Resource Card (SRC) failovers,
        the PSX-1000 experiences LUN degradation or loss due to bus-level
        transaction (ABTS) timeouts.
4852623 When rebooting the PSX-1000 during a software upgrade, the chassis halts
        due to a Fibre Channel (FC) Extended Link Services (ELS) issue, thereby
        delaying the reboot.
4853760 T3 LUNs do not failover or pause for up to three (3) minutes.
        This issue was resolved by modifying PSX-1000 internal retries to speed LUN
        failover times.
4761229 The PSX-1000 does not use the LUN primary controller when accessing
        T3/6320/6120/6020 LUNs.
4820632/4821697 When creating a volume and specifying the maximum available disk space
        (-force option used), only the maximum contiguous available disk space is
        reserved for the volume, not the entire available disk space on the T3.
5043817 Unable to set the clock at the time and date we want.

Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
This patch contains firmware which is installed on the StorEdge PSX1000,
rather than using installpatch or patchadd. This patch also contains an
update to the Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager 3.0 for Microsoft Windows NT.
For instructions on installing that update please refer to the file 
3.0.1_README.txt included in this patch.
 
Prerequisites for installing the new firmware include:
 
 
 * An RS232 Serial and an Ethernet connection from a Solaris host to the
   PSX1000.  To use the Ethernet connection, the PSX1000 must
   have an IP address assigned and the user must know the password
   assigned to the PSX1000. The ethernet connection is required to
   download the firmware image via ftp.
 
Unpack the patch into any convenient directory such as /var/tmp, and refer
to the Special Install Instructions below.

Special Install Instructions:
----------------------------- 
 
*** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning *** Warning ***
 
The PSX1000 supports two options to upgrade its firmware. When the
upgrade is initiated with the command "upgrade -a", the new firmware 
will be installed and the entire chassis will be rebooted with the 
new firmware. When the upgrade is initiated with the command
"upgrade -u", a rolling firmware upgrade will be initiated.
 
Using the firmware upgrade procedure that invokes the upgrade
command with the -a option will prevent the PSX1000 from servicing
normal I/O requests for several minutes.To avoid any possibility of 
application failures or filesystem corruption, it is necessary to
ensure that no host I/O is permitted while the upgrade is taking 
place.  For this reason, all PSX1000 logical disks should be unmounted,
from any Solaris hosts connected to the PSX1000, for the duration of the
install procedure.  For example, filesystems mounted on the PSX1000
should be unmounted, and databases accessing raw devices on the PSX1000
should be shut down.
 
 
PSX1000 Firmware Upgrade Option 1, "upgrade -a":
------------------------------------------------
 
 1. Change your working directory to the directory in which the patch
    was unpacked and confirm that the dist.par file is present
    using the "ls" command.
 
 2. Connect to the PSX1000 with the "ftp" command and transfer the
    image (the file dist.par) to the PSX1000. You must use binary mode to
    transfer the dist.par file.

 3. Open a telnet or serial connection to the PSX1000 and issue the command
    "upgrade -a".
 
       PSX-1000# upgrade -a

 4. Open a telnet connection to the PSX1000 and issue the command "show version"
    to verify that the firmware upgrade was successful.

	Restarting card 5
 
7. Wait for the message "(HOT_SWAP: 0-0)  Restart complete for card (5)" then
   repeat steps 5 and 6 above for card 6 and for the two SRC cards. The SRC cards
   may be installed in slots 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. To verify in which slots the SRC
   cards are installed you can issue the command "show chassis".
