PowerVault MD3000 – SAS 5/E Adapter WWN Upgrade
Introduction
This document will outline the steps required to run the SAS5EADD utility in a
PowerVault MD3000 environment. The SAS5EADD utility is capable of reassigning a
unique World Wide Name (WWN) on the SAS 5/E Adapter controller. Two scenarios
for running the utility are outlined below. Scenario 1 covers the situation in which the
PowerVault MD3000 has not yet been configured and is awaiting deployment.
Scenario 2 covers the situation in which the PowerVault MD3000 system has already
been configured and is in use.
Scenario 1: PowerVault MD3000 System Not Yet Configured
1. Download the SAS5EADD utility from support.dell.com and extract the utility
according to the instructions included with the utility. The utility is available
in both a bootable floppy format and CD format (.ISO).
2. Insert the bootable media with the utility into the host systems floppy or
CD/DVD bay.
3. Reboot the host system and allow it to boot to the SAS5EADD utility. The
utility must not be run from within the operating system.

Adapter(s) in the host system.
NOTE: The updates to all controllers in the system should not take more than 5
minutes to successfully complete.
5. Take note of the newly assigned SAS addresses.
6. Remove the upgrade utility media from the host system and reboot.
7. Proceed with the configuration of the PowerVault MD3000 system as normal.
Scenario 2: PowerVault MD3000 System is Configured and Deployed
1. Stop all IO on all virtual disks from all hosts connected to the PowerVault
MD3000 system.
2. Backup all data prior to running the update utility.
3. Under Linux operating systems, take note of which volumes are mounted and
put them in an un-mounted state.
CAUTION: Do not reboot any host systems attached to the Powervault MD3000
array until instructed to do so in the steps outlined below.
Stop all IO on all virtual disks from all hosts connected to MD3000 Array.
