Notes
- The minimum operating system is Solaris 2.3.
- Install the first Fibre Channel Optical Module in Slot B.
Array Controller Firmware Notes
- Firmware >= 1.9 is required with Solaris 2.3 and SSA 2.0
- Firmware >= 1.10 is required with Solaris 2.3 and SSA 2.1.
- Firmware >= 2.0 is required with Solaris 2.4 and SSA 2.1.
Firmware >= 2.1 is recommended.
- Use the SSA 1.0 or 2.0 ssacli command to program the firmware,
then halt the system and power cycle the SPARCstorage Array:
# ssacli -s -f /opt/SUNWssa/lib/1.x/ssafirmware download <ctlr>
# ssacli -s -f /opt/SUNWssa/lib/2.x/ssafirmware download <ctlr>
- Use the SSA 1.0 or 2.0 ssacli command to display the Array
Controller status, Firmware level, and device status:
# ssacli display <ctlr>
- Use the SSA 2.1 ssaadm command to program the firmware, then
halt the system and power cycle the SPARCstorage Array:
# ssaadm download -f /usr/lib/firmware/ssa/ssafirmware <ctlr>
- Use the SSA 2.1 ssaadm command to display the Array Controller
firmware level, Controller Status, and Device Status:
# ssaadm display <ctlr>
- Array Controllers 501-2080-09 and 501-2552-06 contain Firmware 2.0 and
Diagnostic PROM 525-1366-06.
- Array Controllers manufactured after June 1994 use LSI Logic or
Toshiba/QLogic ISP Controllers. Toshiba/QLogic ISP Controllers are not
compatible with firmware <= 1.9.
- Solaris 2.3 Patch 103351-01, Solaris 2.4 Patch 103290-02, or Solaris 2.5 Patch 103017-04
includes Array Controller Firmware 3.6.
- Firmware revisions >3.6 are not supported by Solaris 2.3 as of 7/21/97.
Fast Write Notes
- Fast Writes are not supported in SSA 1.0, SSA 2.0, or Solaris 2.3.
- Fast Writes are supported in SSA 2.1.
- Fast Writes require Diagnostic PROM >= 525-1366-06 at U1210.
- Array Controllers 501-2080-09 and 501-2552-06 contain Firmware 2.0 and
Diagnostic PROM 525-1366-06.
- Fast Writes require Array Controller Firmware 3.6.

Notes
- The minimum operating system is Solaris 2.3.
- SPARCstorage Array Software 2.1.1 is required.
- Install the first Fibre Channel Optical Module in Slot B.
- The 2.1GB Disk Drive requires Firmware 0417 (>=370-1412-02).
- The 2.9GB Disk Drive requires Firmware 0404 (>=370-1695-01).
Array Controller Firmware Notes
- Firmware revision >=3.x is required to support microSPARC II.
- Use the ssaadm command to program the Array Controller firmware,
then halt the system and power cycle the SPARCstorage Array:
# ssaadm download -f /usr/lib/firmware/ssa/ssafirmware <ctlr>
- Use the ssaadm display command to display the Array Controller
firmware level, Controller Status, and Device Status:
# ssaadm display <ctlr>
- Use the ssaadm command to spin-up a disk tray after a warm-plug.
The differential SCSI disk tray will not automatically spin-up:
# ssaadm start <ctlr|unit>
- Fast Writes require firmware 3.6.
- Solaris 2.3 Patch 103351-01, Solaris 2.4 Patch 103290-02, or Solaris 2.5 Patch 103017-04
includes Array Controller Firmware 3.6.
- Firmware revisions >3.6 are not supported by Solaris 2.3 as of 7/21/97.
