We're running DOT 8.2 7-Mode on our IBM N-Series N6240 and recently had the motherboard in node A replaced.  Problem is the replacement motherboard is running service processor 1.3P1, which is not supported in 8.2: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S7004436   How can we upgrade the service processor to 1.4 while running in failover mode?  I tried doing 'sp setup' from LOADER A screen and the configuration won't stick (shows 'unknown' configuration).     ...

I would like to upgrade my IBM N Series N3700 (NetApp FAS270 equivalent) from 7.1.1.1 to 7.3.7.   I realize that support is discontinued on these products but I was able to download the n series OnTap 7.3.7 code from the IBM support site and a decent set of documentation including an upgrade guide. The only thing is that there is no explanation about the contents of the download:   I don't know which file to use in the "software install ..." command. My hunch is one fo the .exe files but what is the diferenece between the three different ones? I've extracted the _e setup archive and this created a series of folders presumably with the update code and routines in addition to the bundled firmware updates. Is there a file here that I need to use in the "software install..." command?   I know that this is a NetApp forum but IBM has been of zero help in providing this information. I would presume that the NetApp code comes in a similar bundle. Your help is appreciated in advance. ... View more
