Chapter 7 Upgrading the SAN 83
Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch Manager
1. Upgrade Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch Manager package, SUNWsmgr.
SANsurfer Switch Manager SAN release 3.0 can manage both 2.0 and 3.0 versions of
the Sun StorEdge FC Network switch. Earlier versions of SANsurfer Switch Manager
are not supported and may cause improper switch operation when used for
managing SAN 3.0, Sun StorEdgeTM Network FC Switch.
Installing other host software, such as Sun StorEdge Component Manager, before
upgrading the SANsurfer Switch Manager insures that the host software will be
compatible with the new SANsurfer Switch Manager.
2. Before you start, check your system to see if it has been installed, and if it is
already up to date. Use the pkginfo command to see if it has been installed.
The output indicates that the SUNWsmgr package has already been installed. If your
system has the SUNWsmgr package installed, use the showrev command to see if it
is up to date.
The showrev results line indicates that the SUNWsmgr package is already up to date.
If the patch 110696-xx has not been installed, install it using the patchadd
command.
3. If your system does not have the SUNWsmgr package installed install the new
SUNWsmgr package from your StorEdge SAN 3.0 software.
