Here's a new security bulletin on the DS8870 (and above). You can find it over here.
I'm not taking over all its content because it's a bit too elaborate but here's the summary

"Summary

There are multiple vulnerabilities in the DS8000 HMC which are covered in this bulletin and include the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) SSLv3 vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566). This bulletin also covers several items which were updated to address other vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Details


Before applying the patches or versions noted in this advisory, please read the additional notes - there are potential impacts to clients which connect to the updated servers since SSLv3 is disabled. You should verify that disabling SSLv3 does not cause compatibility issues.

CVEs are concentrating on Open SSL, IBM Java and NTP.
