RAID Configuration Features
007-4522-003 3
second controller is updated with new firmware image. When the second controller is
restarted, I/O is again routed to its normal path.
Note: Rolling upgrades will only be supported on SGI IRIX platforms (as listed in
“Supported Platforms” on page 5) and SGI Altix series servers running an SGI Linux
environment of 7.2 or later with SGI ProPack 2.1, or SGI Advanced Linux Environment
2.1 or later with SGI ProPack 2.2 or later.
You may experience brief delays in performance, similar to those experienced in a
failover/failback operation. During the upgrade, you will lose redundancy due to the
fact that each controller is alternately taken offline while it is being flashed with a new
firmware image. The cache on both controllers is flushed and both controllers are placed
into conservative cache mode during the upgrade process.
If a power cycle occurs during the firmware upgrade and the firmware of one controller
is corrupted, the other controller will continue to have access to data when power is
returned. Because firmware is flashed sequentially to each controller it is not possible for
the firmware of both controllers to be corrupted by a power failure. Check the firmware
levels of each controller if you suspect that a controller’s firmware image has been
corrupted. If the firmware levels are not at the desired version, repeat the rolling upgrade
process.
SAN Mapping 256
Firmware releases 8.40 and later support up to 256 host nodes. TPM 1.5 and later provide
changes required for 256 host node support. TPM 1.4 and earlier releases support up to
64 host nodes.
Drive Sizing Algorithm
On new configurations (only), a new drive sizing algorithm reduces the maximum
amount of capacity that the RAID controller truncates from disk drives larger than 80GB
on 2-Gb/s FFx2 RAID controllers running 9.x or later. On a 146 GB disk drive, the new
algorithm increases the usable capacity by about 5 GB per drive.
