    This document summarizes 5 changes made in microcode version 21-14-38-00/00: 1. It addressed an issue where SSB=5075 was output periodically when using an open volume. 2. It fixed a problem where failure suspend occurred to True Copy asynchronous pairs with SSB=CC14 due to overloaded cache on RCU. 3. It resolved premature suspend execution before the set time for True Copy asynchronous pairs due to timer wraparound. 4. It prevented early execution of At Time split commands for Shadow Image for S/390 pairs due to timer overflow. 5. It eased HDD blockade thresholds to avoid replacing drives unnecessarily when delay was detected during

    MICROCODE VERSION 21-14-38-00/00


    RELEASED 9/11/2007
    Newly supported features and functions for Version 21-14-38-00/00

    1. Mainframe & OPEN System


    None

    2. Mainframe System
    None

    3. Open System

    3-1 RAID Manager 01-20-03/06


    Description 1. Changed behavior of the horc command
    -Horctakeover command performs PVOL_takeover (MINAP=0) on Link-failure
    -Pair split command performs "-P" option using the purge for HORC_Async/UR
    2. Supported following command option for awaking the delayed I/O for dismounting on
    Windows2003
    - -x syncd
    - -x umountd
    - raidscan -find syncd
    3. Supported RAID Manager communication between 32bits and 64bits HORCM
    4. Supported "RM Shadow Copy provider(01-03-03/02)" using TC with HPtM
    5. Added two securities for raidcfg command, and avoided a problem that "raidcfg -a set -o
    hgrp" bring on EX_CMDIOE
    Changed RAID Manager

    The change of contents for Version 21-14-38-00/00

    1 SSB=5075 output when using OPEN VOL


    Phenomena When using an OPEN VOL, SSB=5075 was periodically output.
    Conditions The problem occurs with all the following conditions met.
    1. An open LUSE volume is mounted
    2. Multi-platform configuration of open and mainframe
    3. The micro-program version is 21-03-00-00/01 or higher
    Category Mainframe
    Changed DKCMAIN

    HDS Confidential 1of 2


    2 Failure suspend to TCA pair with SSB=CC14 due to overloaded cache on RCU
    Phenomena When the cache on RCU was overloaded, failure suspend occurred to the TC Async pair with
    SSB=CC14 output.
    Conditions The problem may occur with all the following conditions met.
    1. TC Async
    2. RCU uses RAID450 or higher
    3. Cache on RCU is overloaded
    4. Reset occurs to a RIO from MCU to RCU
    Category True Copy Asynchronous for S/390 or Open
    Changed DKCMAIN

    3 Suspend execution before set time by at Time


    Phenomena Although the time to suspend was set with the At Time function, suspend (SSB=49d5) occurred
    due to timeout before the set time was reached. If Suspend occurs at the set time, the system
    outputs SSB=49d3.
    Conditions The problem occurs with all the following conditions met.
    1. TC Async for S/390
    2. At Time is set with the YKSUSOEND command or Nanocopy
    3. The wraparound occurs to the DKC internal timer of MP during monitoring for timeout
    between when At Time is received and when the set time is passed. (One round takes approx. 9
    hours for RAID450.)
    However, if wraparound occurs to the DKC internal timer, kernel 50ms scanning corrects the
    timer; therefore, the condition #3 is applicable between when wraparound occurs and when
    correction is performed.
    Category True Copy Async for S/390
    Changed DKCMAIN

    4 At Time Split command execution before set time with SI for S/390
    Phenomena The time to perform pair split operation to a Shadow Image pair was set with the At Time Split
    function of Shadow Image for S/390, but due to TOV, the operation to the pair was performed
    before the set time was reached.
    Conditions The problem may occur with all the following conditions met.
    1. The micro-program version is 21-06-01-00/00 or higher
    2. SI for S/390
    3. Set At Time Split with the YKSUSPEND command
    Category Shadow Image for S/390
    Changed DKCMAIN

    5 Replaced HDD blockade with delay detected


    Phenomena After exchanging an HDD where HDD delay (RC=AE4A/A4CE) had been detected, delay was
    still detected in the replaced HDD, and the HDD was blocked.
    Contents The micro-program has been modified to ease the threshold of blockade during the copy
    operation from 150 msec to 300 msec on average. This is because the Average Data
    Transmission Time in HDD where delay is detected during copy operation largely differs from
    that of another HDD (in the same ECC).
    Conditions The problem occurs with all the following conditions met.
    1. System Option Mode 144 is ON
    2. During copy operation (Correction copy, Drive copy, Copy back), HDD internal retry occurs
    Category HDD
    Changed DKCMAIN

    HDS Confidential 2of 2
