2-14 Sun StorEdge A1000 and A3x00/A3500FC Best Practices Guide • November 2002
2.8 SCSI to FC-AL Upgrade
Note – Refer to FIN I0590 and the latest version of the Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC
Controller Upgrade Guide for more information regarding this procedure. The latest
version of the Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Controller Upgrade Guide at the time this
document was prepared: part no. 806-0479-11.
You need to load NVSRAM to the A3500FC controllers as documented in FIN I0590
and in the Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Controller Upgrade Guide. Be sure to load the
correct NVSRAM patch:
■ A3500 array with D1000 trays - patch no. 109232-01
■ A3000 array with RSM trays - patch no. 109233-01
If you have RM 6.22.1, then use the NVSRAM in that release, which is later than the
NVSRAM in these two patches.
Follow the instructions provided in the Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Controller
Module Guide to route fiber cables. The old SCSI controller front bezel does not give
adequate room for fiber-optic cable routing; discard it. Use the new A3500FC
controller face plate that comes with the A3500FC upgrade kit.
