1. This microcode update fixes issues that occurred when different drive types were mixed in a subsystem, incorrectly detected LA errors during dynamic sparing between drive types, and caused a high write pending rate after microcode exchange.
2. Specifically, it addresses failures of microcode exchange between parity groups with 36GB and 72GB drives, incorrect LA errors when sparing between 36GB and 72GB drives, and disabling of destaging causing 75% write pending rate after certain error and repeated microcode exchange.
3. It also includes a modification to the DKU microcode to correct HDD blockade caused by improper write fault recovery.

The change of contents for Version 21-14-54-00/00
1 Micro-program exchange fails when different types of drives coexist
Phenomena Micro-program exchange in OEM mode failed. Conditions The problem occurs when all the following conditions are met. - Parity groups, consisting of Seagate drives of 36 GB and consisting of Seagate drives of 72 GB, coexist in a subsystem - Multiplicity for micro-program exchange in OEM mode is set to 2 or more - Micro-program exchange for a parity group of 72 GB Seagate drives completed and a parity group of 36 GB Seagate drives not completed. Category HDD Changed DKCMAIN
2 LA error detected incorrectly
Phenomena An LA error was incorrectly detected when dynamic sparing was performed from a DKSxx- K036FC drive to a DKS2E-K072FC or DKS2F-K072FC drive. Conditions Problem occurs when dynamic sparing is performed from a DKSxx-K036FC drive to a DKS2E- K072FC or DKS2F-K072FC drive, or when correction copy to a spare drive is performed. Category HDD Changed DKCMAIN
3 Write pending rate 75% after HDD online micro-program exchange
Phenomena After HDD online micro-program exchange, de-staging to a PDEV was disabled and the write pending rate became 75%. Conditions The problem occurs when all the following conditions are met. (1) In OEM mode, HDD online micro-program exchange is performed (2) An error occurs on SVP (SVP message: SMT2435E) (3) Within 10 minutes of (2), HDD online code exchange is performed in OEM mode again Category HDD Changed DKCMAIN, SVP
4 Modification of DKU micro-program
Phenomena HDD blockade, caused by improper write fault recovery, is corrected. Contents HDD blockade, caused by improper write fault recovery, is corrected. Fixed Product/Version: DKU DKS2C-K: 00-FC-B3 Conditions Same as phenomena Category HDD Changed DKU Micro-program
