MICROCODE VERSION 70-04-51-00/00-M122

RELEASED 08/10/2012
New supported features and functions for Version 70-04-51-00/00-M122

1. Mainframe & OPEN System
1-1 Improvement for Performance Utilization per tier

Description When the monitoring mode is set to Continuous Mode, the following items are displayed
with the values calculated by using monitoring values same as those used in Period Mode.
Performance Utilization (Storage Navigator, RAID Manager)
IOPH per tier (RAID Manager Lib)
Changed Part DKCMAIN
1-2 Enhancement for SMI-S

Description The following function enhancements are implemented for SMI-S.
Local Replication support and SMI-S1.5 support
Changed Part SVP
1-3 Support for System Option Mode784

Description System Option Mode 784 is available to reduce MIH time of RIO for TC/TCz pairs created
during SOM784 ON to 5 seconds so that, even though an RIO path failure occurs, update
I/O processing can be switched to an alternate path promptly, lowering the possibility of
host MIH occurrence. Public Mode – No Permission Required to Use
RIO MIH time can be changed from Storage Navigator within range from 10 to 100 sec, but
10 sec is the shortest to set. If RCU registration is performed from PPRC/BCM, the MIH
time is fixed at 15 sec. For True Copy, this mode is effective only when both MCU and
RCU are RAID700 and have the supported micro-program version.
For True Copy for Mainframe, this mode is effective when either MCU or RCU is RAID700
or RAID600 and has the supported micro-program version (supported RAID600 versions
are 60-07-53-00/00 and higher).
1-4 Improvement for Encryption License Key function

Description The following are supported for the Encryption License Key function.
Generating encryption keys in a key management server that complies with KMIP.
Returning the setting of “Generate Encryption Keys on this server” back from key
generation on key management server to key generation on DKC can be disabled.
Changing the encryption logic when storing data encryption keys in DKC to AES KW
mode. Enabling to set an input policy for the password that needs to be entered at backup of
encryption keys in an external file.
Changed Part DKCMAIN, SVP, Storage Navigator
HDS Confidential 1 of 25
1-5 SOM class change
Description The class of System Option Mode 769 has changed from “RSD” to “Public” from
DKCMAIN version 70-04-51-00/00.
Public Mode – No Permission Required to Use
Changed Part Config
1-6 Improvement for 3 UR DC cascade configuration

Description In 3DC cascading configuration with three UR sites, when copying data from the remote
site to the local site via the intermediate site, the data volume at the intermediate site
becomes a secondary volume shared by two primary volumes and data copy is available via
the two pairs. However, the copy from the intermediate site to the local site becomes all data
copy.
2. Mainframe System
NONE
3. OPEN System
3-1 Support for Flash Acceleration

Description The performance is improved at cache miss for Simplex VOL, DP-VOL and PP-VOL in
OPEN environment by reducing micro-program processing.
The PP license of Flash Acceleration must be installed to enable this function.

copy target is worse than that of copy source. When a check for delay
works under the above condition, a copy target drive is determined as
delayed. In this case, if SOM144 is set to ON, the copy target drive is
blocked and the drive recovery fails.

(2) An SSD drive is being recovered.
(3) SOM144 is set to ON.
