These notes are intended for NUMA-Q® Customer Support providers and other personnel trained in the administration of NUMA-Q and NUMACenterTM computer systems that include CLARiiON® disk arrays.
The purpose of these notes is as follows:
To describe the procedure for updating firmware, as necessary, on drives in CLARiiON disk arrays installed in NUMA-Q and NUMACenter systems.
To define the compatibility requirements between firmware versions, operating system versions, and various disk drive models used in these disk arrays.
To record any known problems or limitations of the disk drive firmware used in these disk arrays.
ATTENTION There is no NUMA-Q-specific firmware for the drives in the SCSI-connected CLARiiON DASS units, and Customer Support has never stocked spare drives for DASS units. Therefore, no further references to DASS appear in these release notes.
The NUMA-Q ® Installation Guide for CLARiiON Disk Arrays is a service manual that describes the installation and servicing of CLARiiON DAE and DPE disk arrays in NUMA-Q andf NUMACenter systems.
The NUMA-Q® Administration Guide for CLARiiON Disk Arrays provides instructions for configuring, operating, and monitoring the CLARiiON DAE and DPE disk arrays in NUMA-Q and NUMACenter systems.
The ptx®/SESMON V1.1.0 Release Notes describes the software product used to monitor CLARiiON DAE units operating with NUMA-Q® systems running DYNIX/ptx® V4.5.0 or higher.
The ptx/SESMON V1.0.1 Release Notes describes the software product used to monitor CLARiiON DAE units operating with NUMA-Q® systems running DYNIX/ptx® V4.4.7 or higher on the V4.4.x release train.
The DYNIX/ptx® and Layered Products Software Installation Release Notes provide instructions for installing new software, including disk drive firmware, on NUMA-Q systems.
The ptx®/SVM Administration Guide describes the use of ptx/SVM to manage disks and disk arrays from the NUMA-Q host running DYNIX/ptx.
