Thanks Hoa,
isn't the Device Specific (FW) the microcode for the DRIVE and not for the
SCSI adapter?? Or is it actually the firmware level for the SCSI adapter?
thanks for your help!
fyi-- when I do an lscfg -vl scsi#
I don't get any firmware or microcode level info. After checking some
sources (an IBM Advanced Technical Expert and a CE), we *think* that this
won't be displayed with a PCI system (winterhawk II)-- just on MCA
systems. The supposition we are going on is that the firmware for the PCI
SCSI adapter and the PCI bus is updated with the system firmware.

The CE just installed these less than a month ago-- we are sharing the
drives between two TSM servers. I tried to find the microcode level, but
couldn't (I am the TSM admin, and am (always) learning AIX. Would you
please tell me what command to use, and what microcode level is current.
The weird thing is that the other 5 SCSI adapters are found, as are two of
the 3590 drives.
thank you!!

I applied it a few weeks ago with no problems. Possibly the microcode
level
on the scsi adapters was too backlevel?

Subject: AIX 4.3.3 and ML8
Has anyone successfully applied ML 8 to 4.3.3 and NOT have SCSI adapters
and 3590 drives disappear? We just updated to ML8 and upon IPL lost one
of the SCSI adapters and four of our 3590 drives, and running cfgmgr
doesn't get them back. We are at 4.1.3.0 TSM server level, and the latest
for Atape and atldd.
Any ideas? Call support or reject the ML??
thanks
