S4 FLASH-15172 - Pools and I/O groups do not appear in the drop down when creating a HyperSwap volume if a long site name is configured. FLASH-15328 - CLI help files were not translated in the 7.6.0.1 release. 4.2 Known issues The following is a list of known issues and information related those these issues which exist for this release: The commands addvolumecopy and rmvolumecopy are not supported in the current release. Consequently, it is not possible to convert an existing volume to or from a HyperSwap volume by using these CLI commands or the management GUI. Administration of a HyperSwap volume can still be performed using the same CLI commands that were supported in version 7.5, configuring the component VDisks and active-active relationship that form the HyperSwap volume. Additionally, it is not currently supported to use the '-consistgrp' parameter on the new mkvolume command when creating a HyperSwap volume. A HyperSwap volume can still be assigned to a consistency group after it has been created using the management GUI or CLI. Attempting to use a feature which is not supported will return the following error: CMMVC7205E The command failed because it is not supported. This is a temporary restriction which will be lifted in a future release. Systems with more than 512 WWPNs in a single host object must reconfigure the host before upgrading to version 7.5.0. Documentation is available for this issue at the following URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1s1005261 Software update to version 7.5.0.x may fail if the system date is set to any date prior to December 2014 with the following message: CMMVC6347E The specific update package cannot be installed on this hardware level Systems using Internet Explorer 11 may receive an erroneous "The software version is not supported" message when viewing the "Update System" panel in the GUI. Internet Explorer 10 and Firefox do not experience this issue. If using IP replication, please review the set of restrictions published in the Configuration Limits and Restrictions document for your product. Windows 2008 host paths may become unavailable following a Storwize V7000 node canister or SVC node replacement procedure.

Warning: Please read all the instructions below before upgrading. 5.1 Overview of release If you are upgrading to this release and your system is healthy, you can perform a Concurrent Code Upgrade (CCU). A CCU is a non-disruptive upgrade and is the preferred upgrade method. For general instructions on performing upgrades, refer to the FlashSystem Knowledge Center using the following URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ From this link, you can access the appropriate FlashSystem page through the following path: System Storage Flash Storage Flash high availability systems IBM FlashSystem V9000 Upgrading 5.2 Supported upgrade paths The following upgrade paths are supported for this release: 7.4.1.0 7.6.0.2 7.4.1.1 7.6.0.2 7.4.1.2 7.6.0.2 7.5.1.0 7.6.0.2 7.5.1.1 7.6.0.2 7.6.0.1 7.6.0.2 5.3 Preparing to upgrade A CCU is a non-disruptive upgrade, which means that the system remains online throughout the process and that you can continue to access data normally. As a precaution, it is recommended that the upgrade occur during a time of reduced traffic. During the upgrade, the interface adapters in each control node are taken offline temporarily in order to be upgraded. This might impact performance or throughput. The impact is more noticeable under heavy load conditions. With a properly configured multi-path configuration, access to your data is maintained at all times. In order to ensure a successful, non-disruptive upgrade, you should verify that your interface ports are all online and all the system hardware is functioning normally. Ideally, you should have the following: All host interfaces should be online. An active multi-path configuration is required to ensure no loss of access during the upgrade. Information on this topic is available in IBM Knowledge Center under the Fibre Channel host attachments topic found using the following URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/st3fr7/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.641.doc/svc_fibrecha nnel_cover.html 4 Copyright IBM Corporation 2015, 2016
All batteries should be online and charged at least 85%. Use the CLI command lsenclosurebattery to verify battery charge. If using encryption, ensure that both USB keys are inserted during the CCU. From the CLI, issue lsportusb to view if USBs have been inserted as an alternative to a physical check. From the GUI, navigate to Settings Security Encryption to view ports and encryption status. All hardware should be online and functioning normally. There should be no unfixed alerts in the event log (see the exceptions below). Important: Before you begin the upgrade, we recommend that you perform a backup of your data and a backup of the FlashSystem configuration. To back up the configuration, log into the cluster management IP address and issue the following command using an account with Administrator privileges: svcconfig backup Optionally, you can copy the configuration backup file from the FlashSystem to your workstation using secure copy (scp) on Linux or PuTTY secure copy (pscp.exe) on Windows as in the following examples: (Using Linux) scp username@cluster_ip:/dumps/svc.config.backup.*. (Using Windows) pscp username@cluster_ip:/dumps/svc.config.backup.*. Note: Do not ignore the periods shown above at the end of each command. In addition, replacement of italicized descriptions with appropriate information is required. 5.4 Performing the upgrade It is highly recommended that the upgrade be performed using the web-based cluster management interface known as the management GUI. Access this option through SettingsSystemUpdate System in the GUI. Using the management GUI, you will be prompted to install and run the software upgrade test utility and the software update package from a single GUI panel. The software upgrade test utility is designed to detect and warn of various conditions that might prevent a successful upgrade. The upgrade test utility can be run either during the upgrade using the Update and Test button or by itself with the Test only button. Once the utility finishes running certain checks for vulnerabilities, the software update utility will allow you to upload the firmware file and start the upgrade. For more detailed instructions and information for using the upgrade utility from the CLI or the GUI, see the release notes for the upgrade utility, which is located on Fix Central. The upgrade can proceed successfully without the Call Home feature enabled, but IBM highly recommends that the feature be enabled. The upgrade can also be performed using the applysoftware command in the CLI. This requires that you manually upload the latest release to the/upgrade directory on the cluster management node. The upgrade test utility must be run before the upgrade can start. Version 7.6.0.2 5
5.5 Troubleshooting Use the following sections to troubleshoot problems that may occur during the upgrade process. 5.5.1 Stalled upgrade If the upgrade completion percentage does not increase for more than two hours, the upgrade may have stalled. Upgrade status is viewed by issuing the lsupdate CLI command or by going to Settings System Update System in the GUI. Both show a Stalled status. If the upgrade stalls or if you have alerts which cannot be cleared, contact IBM Support. Support contact information is provided in Section 6.0 of this document. 5.5.2 Failures during upgrade You may get a battery or quorum alert during upgrade. These alerts are expected and should be automatically cleared when the upgrade is completed. They may be visible from the Events view of the management GUI if the filter is set to "Show All," but they should no longer appear in the Recommended Actions, Unfixed Messages, or Alerts views. If you see unfixed battery or quorum alerts after an upgrade is complete, contact IBM Support. If the upgrade has stalled due to a hardware failure, you ll see the current status of Hardware Failed. If you suspect a hardware failure, issue the lsupdate command from the management CLI to confirm the state of your system. This command shows that the system is in a hardware_failed state and the event log contains a "System upgrade suspended" event. You may resume the upgrade by issuing the command applysoftware -resume force for the following conditions: PSU unsupported events Battery fault type 1 events that are fixed and online according to the CLI command lsenclosurebattery Fan events If the upgrade cannot be resumed or you have other alerts which cannot be cleared, contact IBM Support. All releases include a battery reconditioning feature which calibrates the gauge that reports the amount of charge on the batteries. On systems that have been installed for 10 months or more or systems that have experienced several power outages, the recommendation to run "battery reconditioning" will appear in the event log shortly after upgrading. This is normal. Use the management GUI to run the DMP for this error. 6 Copyright IBM Corporation 2015, 2016
