Due to a problem in microcode , customers should not IPL there hosts systems during the Storage Facility Update part of this code load procedure. IPL of an attached host could cause repeated warmstarts and cause a loss of access to other attached hosts. A Fix for this problem will be in a future level of microcode. ID 253721 / 253962 For Z/os hosts running PPRC. During host adapter updates on PPRC secondary Control units, the primary control unit may post the following IEA498I type messages.
IEA498I B000,ONLH4Z,PPRC-PATH ONE OR MORE PPRC PATHS REMOVED UNEXPECTEDLY SSID=B000 (PRI)=0175-FRBK1,CCA=00

These messages are considered normal and the PPRC paths will be recovered. Z/os systems. Concurrent copy sessions will be terminated during concurrent code loads. Customers may want to want to terminate concurrent copy sessions before the code load starts.

Z/Series with Sysplex / CFRM couple data sets and PPRC A condition exists that causes a primary volume in PPRC pair to stay in a long busy state (not respond to the host) after a warmstart on the secondary volume in the PPRC pair. The primary volume will stay in the long busy state until I/O is re-driven to the volume or a state change interrupt occurs on the volume. A time-out of the Sysplex primary couple data set will cause the Sysplex to switch to the alternate coupled data set. If the alternate couple data set volume times out, this will cause sysplex-wide failure. Sysplex customers should not include volumes containing any Sysplex couple data set in an active PPRC pair, with the exception of the LOGR couple data set. For example: A concurrent code load could possibly see a warmstart and cause this problem to occur. Customers who do not follow the above advice to exclude Sysplex/CFRM couple data sets from an active PPRC relation , MUST remove / suspend PPRC pairs of volumes with Sysplex/CFRM couple data sets prior to a concurrent code load. A link to the Sysplex planning guide for IBM recommendations is provided below.

Machines with RPQ 8S0849 or 8S0871 ( deferred DDM disablement ) must re-install this RPQ after this code load. If the CD's you have are not the following part numbers, see Tip 871 in the DS8000 PE field tips WEB page or data base. Instructions for re-installing the RPQ are also in Tip 871. 8S0949 P/N 45W8884 8S0871 P/N 45W8885
During any code load , Retain registration should be verified for all rack serial numbers in this Storage Facility. Sign on to RETAIN to verify that each new and existing rack in this storage facility is registered. Enter n;z/cpu 2NNNPPSSSSS where: 2NNN Machine type of 2107, 2421, 2422, 2423, or 2424 PP Plant of manufacture SSSSS The last 5 digits of the serial number. Valid Maintenance status is 1,2,or 9 If the command output returns UNKNOWN CPU SPECIFIED, ask the support center to register the rack serial number in Retain . Note: Some countries register using 00 instead of the actual two-digit plant of manufacture code.

ECA 814 should be installed after the above code load completes. Description and summary of DDM firmware update
The method of loading and updating the targeted DDM's families firmware is different than procedures used in the past. This update is done with a special CD using the HMC Corrective Service facility and is automated from there. Once the CD is loaded the new DDM firmware is transferred onto the machine and then the firmware update of any listed DDM families begins and updates one DDM at a time across device adapter pairs. Multiple updates will be occurring across the device adapter pairs depending on the machine configuration. Time for the update will be determined by the maximum number of affected DDM's on a device adapter pair. Updates on a device adapter pair are done at a rate of 1 every 2 minutes. So a maximum time with 128 DDM's updating will be be approximately 256 minutes. ( 4 hrs 16 minutes ). This is done concurrently with Customer I/O. If any failures occur on a DDM during the update process , the update will stop on the device adapter pair for that DDM. and continue on the other device adapter pairs if they were also doing updates. Normal repair actions would be performed on the failed DDM, and the update process will need to be started again with this update procedure to finish the remaining DDM's on the device adapter that failed. Updates will only occur on drives that had not updated before the DDM failure. At the end of the update a long process to harvest all the DDM information is begun and DDM code level checking will not be correct until the harvest is complete. It not necessary to confirm the DDM firmware as long as the update did not fail and no SRC's are generated.

Appendix
Description of host adapter settings for update during concurrent code load.
The preferred settings for code load that will be faster with no manual intervention are : FICON fast load enabled (default on ) CDA setting CUIR Set during machine install. Recommended setting ( true ) Interactive host adapter update ( default off ) CDA setting Host adapter settings and support Fiber card Fastload FICON Fast load off CUIR CUIR off Interactive Update yes Still uses fastload N/A N/A Yes

Fiber card (FICON) yes Will use CUIR if enabled Yes if FICON fastload is off If FICON fastload is off ,SRN created for manual dummy rep Yes

Mixing topology's on fiber cards and turning FICON fast load off will result in the card being skipped and an SRN generated for manual dummy replacement of the card.
