Hi all,
I apologize in advance for sending this to both mailing lists, but
since It's a DEC product (Raid410) on a Solaris 2.5 system, I wanted
to see if either group had a real answer.
Currently we're running a Raid410 with Dual SWXRC-04 controllers, with
the V27Z-2 HSOF firmware. We'd like to upgrade to the newest release,
which is V3.1, but according to the spd (53.54.10) we need to make
sure that our HSZ40 controllers (I think just another name for the
SWXRC) is either a -Bx or -Cx model. When I access the controllers
through the console and do "SHOW THIS" and "SHOW OTHER" I get the
following:
swxrc-top> show this full
Controller:
SWXRC-04 ZG44700413 Firmware V27Z-2, Hardware A02

I see that I'm shown to have hardware A02 and B01 respectively. Does
this mean I need to upgrade the A02 controller to the Bxx or Cxx
hardware version before I can run the V3.1 HSOF software?
At this time we don't want to upgrade to the Raid450 controllers, we
don't need the performance.
Thanks for any and all help.
