Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software

Which Version of CAM Do I Need?

If you don't have CAM already, always start with the latest version.

Do I Need to Upgrade?

Sun recommends all customers not using version 6.4.1 or later upgrade to version 6.5:

• Sun StorageTek 2510, 2530, 2540, 6130, 6140 and 6540 and StorageTek FLX240, FLX280 and FLX380 Arrays require CAM 6.4.1 or later because Sun is recommending that all customers using array firmware at 7.x or later upgrade to the latest array firmware, which is now supported with v6.5 as well.
• CAM 6.5 adds important new features and functions for Sun Storage J4200, J4400, J4500, and Sun Blade 6000 Storage Module users, as well as other important updates.

NOTES

• IMPORTANT: Upgrading Sun 6000-class systems to CAM 6.4.1 or later may require first running the Upgrade Utility The utility updates version 6.x controller firmware to version 7.50 (or higher). If you are planning on upgrading to the new features available in firmware versions 7.50 and later, first download and use this utility. Alternatively, you can upgrade to firmware version 6.60.22 using CAM (which includes bug fixes but no new features), then use CAM 6.5.
• IMPORTANT: If you plan to upgrade Sun 2500-class systems to firmware version 7.35 or later, you must first run Firmware Upgrade Utility 07.35.xx.xx .
• For the Sun Storage J4200, J4000, J4500 and the Sun Blade 6000 Storage Module:
  When it is desired to centralize the management of multiple arrays which may be connected to multiple direct attached hosts, download the entire CAM installation kit and during the installation choose the "in-band proxy agent only" option for any hosts which are not the designated to be the centralized CAM management station. The centralized CAM management station will require the "full" distribution to be installed.
