Hello all,
I don't know if someone can help me out, but is there another way for updating the disk firmware than by booting the Firmware Maintenance CD (SmartStart)?
Recently, we got a crashed array (RAID5) only after replacing a defunct drive and some people point out the disk firmware. We have SIM 5.2SP2 with VCRM loaded PSP 7.00A (2003) to the new 8.15A and I can't update the disk.
From there, we tried to update it by booting the server from the CD, but the last version (8.30) dont have all firmware from all the disk model on it.
For example, the "BC072638A2" - 72.8GB 1.6" WU3 10K got updated last, to firmware BDCB (E), in the CD 8.00.
We got 500ish server, with 4 drives minimum in each. Do i really need to gather all the disk Model Number, then apply all the CD... with reboot?
Thx a lot.
John
