8456ch_Install_microcode.fm Draft Document for Review December 5, 2019 4:33 pm Example 13-1 BUNDLE level information A release major/minor naming convention, such as 9.0 as shown in Example 13-1, stands for  Release 89.00.212 Most of the hardware components within the DS8900F system can be updated with new  firmware when it is available: In addition, the Licensed Internal Code (LIC) and internal operating system that run on the  Hardware Management Consoles (HMCs) and each central processor complex (CPC) can be  updated. As IBM continues to develop the DS8900F, new features are released through new  LIC levels. When IBM releases new LIC for the DS8900F, it is released in the form of a bundle. The term  bundle  is used because a new code release can include updates for various DS8900F  components. These updates are tested together, and then the various code packages are  bundled together into one unified release. Components within the bundle each include their  own revision levels. The cross-reference table shows the levels of code for currently released bundles. The  cross-reference information is updated as new code bundles are released.  It is important to maintain a current version of the data storage command-line interface (DS  CLI). The DS8900F uses the following naming convention for bundles:  PR.MM.FFF.EEEE , where the  components are: For more information about a DS8900F cross-reference table of code bundles, see this  website: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/dsxxxx-code-bundle-information GLYPH<SM590000> P: Product (8 = DS8000) GLYPH<SM590000> R: Release Major (X, 9 = DS8900F, 8=DS8880) GLYPH<SM590000> MM: Release Minor (xx) GLYPH<SM590000> FFF: Fix Level (xxx) GLYPH<SM590000> EEEE: EFIX Level (0 is base, and 1. n  is the interim fix build that is later than the base  level)  The naming convention is shown in Example 13-1.
