Hi Sami
I hope I'm wrong, but with the introduction of FlashSystem.ai we may start seeing some firmware-related issues.

Replying to my own message... Now we can see this APAR-191281. It looks that also CD version is affected so upgradetest should have restricted my upgrade to 9.1.1.1.
I just received personal alert from IBM that my system can crash any time. Waiting for iFix.

Nice, such APAR does not exist or is not public, I cannot find it: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-storage-virtualize-apars-0
If it helps, CD path is working. I was able to update my FS5300 to 9.1.1.1. If that is usable for your case, you could try that.

Hi to all,
I don't understand why version 9.1.0.3 is available for the FS5300 when there is a issue (SVAPAR‑191281) that prevents the upgrade.
It's a strange situation - it's not typical of IBM to release a version that cannot actually be installed. It would have been better to keep this release unavailable until the problem was resolved.

Best Regards

Since yesterday, code version 9.1.0.3 has been pushed to systems via the cloud update channel, but it is not yet available for download on Fix Central. Additionally, the 9.1.0 release notes have not been updated and still reference IBM Storage Virtualize Family Release Note 9.1.0.2. Is there any information available about this release yet?
