Applies to:

Sun Storage 6180 Array - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]
Sun Storage 6580 Array - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]
Sun Storage 6780 Array - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]
Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM) - Version 6.9 to 6.9 [Release 6.0]
Sun Storage 2540-M2 Array - Version Not Applicable to Not Applicable [Release N/A]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

The new firmware 07.84.xx.xx has been released for the following arrays:

Sun Storage 2540-M2
Sun Storage 2530-M2
Sun Storage 6180
Sun Storage 6580
Sun Storage 6780

Refer to the following firmware matrix:

<Document 1334718.1> Sun Storage[TM] 2540-M2 Firmware Matrix
<Document 1334754.1> Sun Storage[TM] 2530-M2 Firmware Matrix
<Document 1022296.1> Sun Storage[TM] 6180 Firmware Matrix
<Document 1022298.1> Sun Storage[TM] 6580/6780 Firmware Matrix

However this firmware level requires a minimum version of Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM).

Solution

This new firmware brings new features which require the use of CAM 6.9.0_20 (or higher if available). Using any earlier versions of CAM to manage an array with the firmware 07.84.xx.xx will lead to unexpected behaviors and will not be supported by Oracle.

If you want to know what version of CAM you have, please refer to <Document 1011180.1> How to determine the version of Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM).

In order to install CAM 6.9.0_20, you need to install the base version of CAM 6.9, and add patches. See details below:
