BugId:   4826287 - copy and replace disk activity during LD rebuild 
                   causes data corruption.

PatchId: 113723-01: SE3510 3.27: StorEdge 3510 array controller firmware 
                    upgrade.

ECO:     WO_26152

LEAP:    2226
Issue Description: 
Due to a Controller FRU firmware issue, Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Arrays may
fail to successfully complete a disk drive copy/replace operation on a
drive that is being rebuilt.  There may be no visible symptoms that the
operation did not complete successfully.

This issue affects any StorEdge 3510 Controller FRU, P/N F370-5537-01,
containing firmware version 3.27I.  No StorEdge 3510 Arrays have
shipped with these affected Controllers.  The only affected Controllers
are those FRUs which may have escaped from parts inventories prior to a
recent purge.  The number of such FRUs is believed to be very small.

The firmware version of the StorEdge 3510 FC Controller may be
determined as follows:

   Using the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC firmware Application Menu, from the
   Main Menu, choose "View System Information".  The firmware version
   should show as 3.27K.  If it shows as 3.27I, the firmware needs to
   be upgraded.

This issue could occur with 3.27I firmware when a customer attempts to
copy and replace from a disk drive that is being rebuilt to a
replacement drive.  The copy and replace operation may not complete
successfully.  The 3.27I firmware does not support the copy/replace
function on a rebuilding drive, however, the firmware application
interface allows the user to perform this action.

FRU inventory has been updated with firmware 3.27K and FRUs have been 
dash rolled to F370-5537-02 via ECO WO_26152 and LEAP 2226.  Patch
113723-01 providing firmware version 3.27K is now available on SunSolve.
Implementation: 
---
        |   |   MANDATORY (Fully Proactive)
         ---    
         
  
         ---
        |   |   CONTROLLED PROACTIVE (per Sun Geo Plan) 
         --- 
         
                                
         ---
        | X |   REACTIVE (As Required)
         ---
Corrective Action: 
The following recommendation is provided as a guideline for authorized
Sun Services Field Representatives who may encounter the above
mentioned problem.

Any StorEdge 3510 FC Array Controller FRU with P/N F370-5537-01 should
have its firmware version checked.  FRUs having firmware version 3.27I
should have patch 113723-01 applied to upgrade the firmware version
to 3.27K.  Follow the instructions provided with the patch README file.
Comments: 
None.

============================================================================
Implementation Footnote: 
i)   In case of MANDATORY FINs, Sun Services will attempt to contact   
     all affected customers to recommend implementation of the FIN. 
   
ii)  For CONTROLLED PROACTIVE FINs, Sun Services mission critical    
     support teams will recommend implementation of the FIN  (to their  
     respective accounts), at the convenience of the customer. 

iii) For REACTIVE FINs, Sun Services will implement the FIN as the   
     need arises.
