This issue applies to clusters that are running OneFS 8.0.0.4 and older, 8.0.1.0 or
8.0.1.1 and contain one or more of the following Seagate Constellation ES.3 drives:
l ST1000NM0033-9ZM173
l ST2000NM0033-9ZM175
l ST3000NM0033-9ZM178
l ST4000NM0033-9ZM170
l ST3000NM0063
l ST4000NM0063
If the affected drives are running firmware EN06 (non-SED) or 0006 (SED), all drives
of that type may smartfail when one of those drives are replaced. This issue occurs if
the node that contains the drives has not been restarted since the drive firmware
update to the affected firmware version.
If you encounter this issue, please refer to KB article 490849 for the recommended
steps to resolve the issue.
Ultrastar SSD400S firmware updates
You can only update drives to the A18M firmware revision that are currently running
the A131 firmware revision. Drives running the A182 firmware revision will not update
to A18M. However, both the A18M and and A182 are supported firmware revisions and
the A170 revision will update to A182.

Install the FRU package (CTO only)


A Field Replacement Unit (FRU) package must be installed on configure-to-order
(CTO) nodes before you can execute a drive firmware update.
You must first determine whether the node you are updating is CTO capable.

Note

If you are updating Generation 6 nodes, you do not need to install a FRU package. You
can skip these steps.

l If the node is CTO capable, install the FRU package on the node prior to installing
the other drive firmware updates.
l If the node is not CTO capable, there is no need to install the FRU package. Skip
this step and install the other firmware updates.

Determine whether the nodes are CTO capable


You can determine whether the nodes you will be working on are configure-to-order
(CTO) nodes.
Procedure
1. Connect to each node and type the following command:
isi_inventory_tool --help | grep CTO

14 Drive Support Package 1.29


Release Notes

If a node is CTO capable, a message similar to the following appears:

NOTE: Tool intended for use on CTO capable nodes and this node
is CTO capable.

If the node is not CTO capable, a message similar to the following appears:

NOTE: Tool intended for use on CTO capable nodes and this node
is not CTO capable.

If you need to convert a non-CTO node to a CTO node, see the procedure Non-
CTO to CTO Conversion.

Download a Field Replacement Unit (FRU) package


Before you replace a component in a configure-to-order (CTO) node, obtain a Field
Replacement Unit (FRU) package from the EMC FTP site. The FRU package updates
the CTO and as-built information on the node, then forwards the updated information
to Isilon Technical Support.
Procedure
1. Download the latest FRU package from ftp://ftp.emc.com/outgoing/
Fru_Package/.
2. Note the name of the FRU package. You will use the name for other commands.
Package names follow this convention:
IsiFru_Package_ <date-time-stamp> .tgz
For example: IsiFru_Package_201507072125.tgz

3. Place the FRU package on the cluster through a network drop, or by asking
someone at the cluster site to place the package for you. If neither of these
options is available to you, contact Isilon Technical Support for assistance.

Install the FRU package on the node


Unpack and install the FRU package on the node.
Procedure
1. Place the FRU package on the node.
2. Unpack the FRU package by running the following command:
tar -zxvf IsiFru_Package_<date-time-stamp>.tgz

3. Type cd to change to the directory containing the FRU tar.


4. Install the package. Depending on your version of OneFS, run one of the
following commands:
OneFS 8.0 or later
isi upgrade patches install IsiFru_Package_<date-time-
stamp>_.tar --rolling=false
Earlier than OneFS 8.0
isi pkg install IsiFru_Package_<date-time-stamp>.tar

As the package installs, the following message appears:

Preparing to install the package...


Checking the package for installation...

Download a Field Replacement Unit (FRU) package 15


Installing the package
Committing the installation...
Package is committed.

Run the update script


After the FRU package is installed on the node, run the update script.
Procedure
1. Move to the FRU package location by running the following command:
cd /var/crash/cto/fruPackages/IsiFru_Package_<date-time-stamp>

2. Perform the update script by running the following command:


./isi_fru_update_cluster

The system displays confirmation of the following items:


l CTO capability
l Current node hardware configuration

Check for mediascan jobs


The OneFS job engine periodically runs a job called MediaScan to scan disks in the
cluster for media-level defects that could indicate impending drive failure.
An active MediaScan job that is running concurrently with a drive firmware update can
significantly impact the performance on the cluster. To prevent this scenario, you
must pause any running MediaScan job before starting the firmware update process.

Note

The job engine is a cluster-wide process. Therefore, the following procedure pauses a
MediaScan job on the entire cluster.

Procedure
1. Check for all the MediaScan jobs that are in progress by running the following
command:

isi job status

The following example output shows that the MediaScan job is running on the
cluster:

The job engine is running.

Running and queued jobs:

Release Notes

2. Pause any active MediaScan job by running the following command:

isi job pause mediascan

Install a drive support package


The following instructions are for performing a non-disruptive firmware update
(NDFU) with a drive support package (DSP).

CAUTION

Please refer to the table in the System requirements section above to confirm that
you are performing the correct procedure for your node type and OneFS version.

Procedure
1. Go to the Dell EMC Support page that lists all the available versions of the drive
support package.
2. Click the latest version of the drive support package and download the file.

Note

If you are unable to download the package, contact Isilon Technical Support for
assistance.

3. Open a secure shell (SSH) connection to any node in the cluster and log in.
4. Create or check for the availability of the directory structure /ifs/data/
Isilon_Support/dsp.
5. Copy the downloaded file to the dsp directory through SCP, FTP, SMB, NFS,
or any other supported data-access protocols.
6. Unpack the file by running the following command:
tar -zxvf Drive_Support_<version>.tgz

7. Install the package by running the following command:


isi_dsp_install Drive_Support_<version>.tar

Note

l You must run the isi_dsp_install command to install the drive support
package. Do not use the isi pkg command.
l Running isi_dsp_install will install the drive support package on the
entire cluster.
l The installation process takes care of installing all the necessary files from
the drive support package followed by the uninstallation of the package. You
do not need to delete the package after its installation or prior to installing a
later version.

View drive firmware status
You can view the status of the drive firmware on the cluster to determine whether you
need to update the firmware.
Procedure
1. Open a secure shell (SSH) connection to any node in the cluster and log in.
2. Perform one of the following tasks:
l View the drive firmware status of all the nodes. Depending on your version
of OneFS, run one of the following commands:
OneFS 8.0 or later
isi devices drive firmware list --node-lnn all

Earlier than OneFS 8.0


isi drivefirmware status

l To view the drive firmware status of drives on a specific node, run one of the
following commands:
OneFS 8.0 or later
isi devices drive firmware list --node-lnn <node-
number>
Earlier than OneFS 8.0
isi drivefirmware status -n <node-number>

If a drive firmware update is not required, the Desired FW column is empty.

Update the drive firmware


You can update the drive firmware to the latest revision; updating the drive firmware
ensures overall data integrity.
This procedure explains how to update the drive firmware on nodes that have
bootflash drives after you have installed the latest drive support package. For a list of
nodes with bootflash drives, see the System requirements section of the Isilon Drive
Support Package Release Notes.
To update the drive firmware on nodes without bootflash drives, download and install
the latest drive firmware package. For more information, see the latest drive firmware
package release notes at https://support.emc.com/.

Note

Power cycling drives during a firmware update might return unexpected results. As a
best practice, do not restart or power off nodes when the drive firmware is being
updated in a cluster.

Procedure
1. Open a secure shell (SSH) connection to any node in the cluster and log in.
2. Depending on your version of OneFS, run one of the following commands to
update the drive firmware for your cluster:

18 Drive Support Package 1.29


Release Notes

OneFS 8.0 or later


To update the drive firmware for your entire cluster, run the following
command:
isi devices drive firmware update start all --node-lnn
all
To update the drive firmware for a specific node only, run the following
command:
isi devices drive firmware update start all --node-lnn
<node-number>
OneFS 7.2.0.2 - OneFS 8.0
For OneFS versions between 7.2.0.2 and 8.0 you will need to run the
following command on each node that requires drive firmware:
isi devices -a fwupdate

CAUTION

You must wait for one node to finish updating before you initiate an update
on the next node. To confirm that a node has finished updating, run the
following command:
isi devices -d <node-number>
A drive that is still updating will display a status of FWUPDATE.

Updating the drive firmware of a single drive takes approximately 15 seconds,


depending on the drive model. OneFS updates drives sequentially.

Verify a drive firmware update


After you update the drive firmware in a node, confirm that the firmware is updated
properly and that the affected drives are operating correctly.
Procedure
1. Ensure that no drive firmware updates are currently in progress by running one
of the following commands:
OneFS 8.0 or later

isi devices drive firmware update list

Earlier than OneFS 8.0

isi devices

If a drive is currently being updated, [FW_UPDATE] appears in the status


column.
2. Verify that all drives have been updated by running the following command:

Verify a drive firmware update 19


OneFS 8.0 or later

isi devices drive firmware list

Earlier than OneFS 8.0

isi drivefirmware status

If all drives have been updated, the Desired FW column is empty.


3. Verify that all affected drives are operating in a healthy state by running the
following command:
OneFS 8.0 or later

isi devices drive list --node-lnn all

Earlier than OneFS 8.0

isi devices

If a drive is operating in a healthy state, [HEALTHY] appears in the status


column.

Update the as-built record (CTO only)


After performing maintenance on a Configure to Order (CTO) node, you must update
the as-built record (ABR) for the node. The ABR details the current configuration of
the node for Isilon Technical Support.
Procedure
1. Change to the directory containing the as-built record by typing the following
command:
cd /var/crash/cto/fruPackages/IsiFru_Package_<date-time-stamp>

Simultaneous drive firmware updates


You can update the drive firmware on all drives in a node simultaneously.
A simultaneous firmware update will require the node to restart. You should only
perform this type of update under the following circumstances:
l A node restart is acceptable and you've decided not to perform the non-disruptive
upgrade procedure that does not require the node to restart.
l Your cluster is running OneFS 7.2.0.0 - 7.2.0.1. If you are running one of these
versions, you must perform a simultaneous drive firmware update.

Where to go for support 21


This procedure will work on both joined and unjoined (unconfigured) nodes. If you are
working on an unconfigured node, press CTRL+\ to break out of the configuration
wizard to the CLI prompt.
If you are working on an unconfigured node that will be part of a compliance mode
cluster, we recommend completing these steps before switching the node to
compliance mode.
Known Issues
l This procedure does not work on SED nodes if the isi_km_d daemon isn't
running. The update script will attempt to start isi_km_d automatically, but in
some cases this may not work. If you are working on an unconfigured SED node
and the update fails, create a cluster or join the node to a cluster first, and then try
the update again. If the issue persists, contact Isilon Technical Support for
assistance.
l If the commands contained in the section Install a drive support package for a
simultaneous upgrade are skipped and the latest DSP is not already installed on the
cluster, drive support related events may be generated once the node has
rebooted, because OneFS does not recognize the updated firmware. To resolve
these alerts, eliminate the condition that required the commands to be skipped,
and then install the DSP by following the instructions in the Install a drive support
package section earlier in this document.
l Generation 6 nodes that are unconfigured may not be able to update all drives due
to failed mirror rebalance operations. If this occurs, please retry the update after
the node has rebooted. If the issue persists, contact Isilon Technical Support for
assistance.
l If you are connected to a Generation 6 node over a serial connection when
performing this procedure, you will see output from GEOM_MIRROR while the
firmware update process is running. This output is normal and expected on
Generation 6 nodes, and does not indicate a problem with the firmware update
process. The output will look similar to the following:

GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Adding disk da31p3 to journal-backup.


GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk da31p3 state changed from NONE to NEW
(device journal-backup).
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Device journal-backup: provider da31p3 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk da31p3 state changed from NEW to
SYNCHRONIZING (device journal-backup).
GEOM_MIRROR[0]: Device journal-backup: rebuilding provider
da31p3.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk da31p3 state changed from SYNCHRONIZING to
ACTIVE (device journal-backup).
GEOM_MIRROR[0]: Device journal-backup: rebuilding provider
da31p3 finished.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Consumer mirror/journal-backup destroyed.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Device journal-backup: provider da31p3
activated.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Alerting on device journal-backup: provider
da31p3, state 2.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk da29p3 state changed from ACTIVE to
DESTROY (device journal-backup).
GEOM_MIRROR[0]: Device journal-backup: provider da29p3
destroyed.
GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Consumer da29p3 destroyed.

l If OneFS is in Single-User mode (boot interrupted) for any reason other than being
unconfigured, some boot drive file systems may not be mounted, or they may be
mounted in Read-Only mode. If /var/crash is not mounted it may be necessary
to use a directory in / to stage the DSP files instead of using /var/crash/dsp.
It is recommended to first resolve the issue that is forcing the node into Single-

Release Notes

User or Read-Only mode prior to updating drive firmware. If this is not possible
and the simultaneous drive firmware update isn't working, contact Isilon Technical
Support for assistance.
l Generation 6 nodes that are in Single-User mode may not be able to update all
drives on the first attempt due to failed mirror rebalance operations. If this occurs,
please retry the update after the node has rebooted. If the issue persists, contact
Isilon Technical Support for assistance.

Verify free disk space


Verify that there is free disk space in the /var/crash partition.
Procedure
1. Verify free disk space in the /var/crash partition by running the following
command:
df -h /var/crash

Results
We recommend having at least 100MB free space in /var/crash before proceeding.
If /var/crash is full, and you can identify stale troubleshooting data (such as old
core files), remove them to make space. If you need assistance in deciding what to
clear, please contact Isilon Technical Support for assistance.

Install a drive support package for a simultaneous upgrade


l If the node is in a cluster, and the cluster does not already have the latest DSP
installed, make a copy of the downloaded DSP file and install it on the cluster using
the steps below.
l If the node is in a cluster that already has the latest DSP installed, skip these steps
and proceed to the next section.
l If you are working on an unconfigured node, save a copy of the downloaded DSP.
Once the node has been configured or joined, install the DSP by following the
instructions in the Install a drive support package section earlier in this document.
Procedure
1. Download the latest version of the Drive Support Package (DSP) from EMC
Support and place it on the node in the /var/crash folder.
2.
Note

If the cluster is running OneFS 7.2.0.0 - 7.2.0.1, the DSP will refuse to install to
protect the node from the L3 cache issue described in KB 301897. Skip these
commands and proceed to the next section. Consider upgrading OneFS to a
newer version as soon as possible to eliminate this issue.

Make a copy of the downloaded DSP file and install it on the cluster by running
the following commands:
cp /var/crash/Drive_Support_<version>.tgz /ifs/data

tar -zxf /ifs/data/Drive_Support_<version>.tgz

isi_dsp_install /ifs/data/Drive_Support_<version>.tar

Verify free disk space 23
