b. If the firmware version is correct for all disks, proceed to step 4 to restore disk
settings, otherwise, continue with step 3.
NOTE: In some systems, disk status is reported as “failed” until disk settings are
restored using step 4, which follows. For now, you can safely disregard the failed
status.
3. Download firmware to individual disk drives, as follows:
a. In Disk Utility, right-click a disk icon, then select Advanced | Download
Firmware in the context menu.
b. In the Open dialog box, locate the c:\profile\microcode directory, then select the
.lod file for your disk drive type.
For example, use:
Use Ciprico_Seagate73LP_<version #>.lod for 73GB Seagate drives
Use Ciprico_Seagate181HH_<version #>.lod for 180G Seagate drives
Where <version #> specifies the firmware version number. Seagate uses
hexadecimal to specify disk firmware versions.
c. Click Open. The Progress Report window appears showing the disk firmware
upgrade task and the percentage completion. (Disk access LED behavior:
flashing green during download; off during disk reboot; flashing green during
disk initialization.)
NOTE: If a disk fails to download, try waiting 3 minutes, then try again.
d. Repeat step a through step c for remaining disks that failed download.
4. After successfully downloading disk firmware, restore disk settings. This is always
required after downloading disk firmware.
a. Right-click the controller in the tree view, then select Restore Disk Settings in
the context menu. The hour glass appears while the operation is performed. This
takes several seconds.
b. On receiving “Operation Successful” message, click OK .
5. Reboot the RAID storage and Profile XP media platform using the “System reboot
procedure” on page 94.
NOTE: If your PFR500 is part of an Open SAN, disregard the previous step, and
refer to the instructions in the Open SAN Instruction Manual for powering-off and
powering-on the Open SAN.
6. Start your control application, and verify access to the media file system.
