Disk firmware download: Alternate procedure
NOTE: Perform this procedure only when you receive a warning that some disks
failed to download while performing the procedure “Downloading PFR500 disk
drive firmware” on page 100.

firmware upgrades for disks that report a download error. If disks still fail to upgrade,

1. Reboot the RAID storage and Profile XP media platform using the “System reboot
procedure” on page 94.

refer to the instructions in the Open SAN Instruction Manual for powering-off and
powering-on the Open SAN.
2. Use the following steps to verify the firmware version on all disks:
a. In the GVG Disk Utility, select a disk icon, and note the drive firmware version,
the repeat for all disk drives.
