Wasn't that far down in the pile. Problem started in 2008, fix available a year or so ago. -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center / Web University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws@xxxxxx ________________________________________ From: Peter Laws [plaws@xxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 08:49 To: NITC Distribution List Subject: Seagate firmware issue If you are aware of the Seagate firmware issue, keep reading. If not, delete now and sleep peacefully. :-) Thanks to XXXXX of XXXX, I have a rig set up in the NOC area to flash certain disks. If you have 750 billion byte or 1 trillion byte SATA disks that are in need of the SN06 firmware, please feel free to use the rig. Come by with your SATA disk and I'll show you how it works. Takes about 2 minutes and is mostly automated. Be forewarned: AFAIK, flashing the disk wipes the data and/or renders it unusable. On the storage unit I'm updating, I'm pulling one disk from the RAID and letting it rebuild using the hot spare. Wnen I install the newly-flashed disk, I set it as the new spare. 6 hours later or so, I do it again. Seven down, 17 to go. -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws@xxxxxx
