MD3000i need intergenerational firmware with disc fails, immediate replacement in use

So I have an old MD3000i with firmware.06 on what needs to be upgraded.  A drive has failed and our spare parts on hand for this unit out of warranty work only with new generation firmware.  So, it needs an upgrade.  The hot spare is used and works correctly, but if the memories are good, the firmware updates will complain that the unit is not completely healthy.

Is there a method to promote the hot spare in use for a complete on vg members safely?  I'm of the Nations United-hot spare it and manually process as a sort of replacement drive?  Or the cross-gen firmware updates will be totally fine in this circumstance?

Hello jvniejen,

What I would do, is to get a copy of backup you data then do the upgrade.  You can upgrade the MD in a degraded state, it's just recommended that it is in optimal condition so that you will limit the risk of something going wrong on the upgrade process.  You may want to also stop all i/o on the MD, so when you do the upgrade to make sure that it ends without any problem.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Hi the prey,

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • Re: Satellite A100-955: I need a firmware for Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841S

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A100-955, and I need a firmware for my CD/DVD drive.
    It works fine and bad in different times.
    My current version is 1.60. I can't find an update anywhere! Or at least the same firmware...

    I can't find it on CPR1, I can't find it on the Web from Panasonic website. Help!

    Hello

    I checked the Toshiba page and there is no updated firmware for this CURIOUS.
    Usually if you have some problems with reading or writing to the disks, then this means that the STRANGE beginning of malfunctions and no update firmware could help.
    Perhaps the drive's laser lens is not ok this happens after a long period of use.

    Maybe you can try to clean the lens with the help of alcohol and lint.

    If that does not help, then you should try different discs from different manufacturers
    And the last option could be replacement drive.

    My hard drive crashed and I can't access anything anyone on this subject. I have a second hard drive that was used for additional storage only. I'm doing this second walk my master drive. After changing the cables, jumpers, the bios settings to show as the master I am using the Windows XP disk, I try to put in place.

  • 100 GB Vista full boot need to merge with the E drive.

    I have vista, my startup diskc: disk is full Iwant to merge the e drive?

    100 GB full Vista, 1 disk boot hard need to merge with the E drive part.  HOW?

    Hello

    What is the size of the E:Drive?

    E: drive may be the recovery disk to reinstall the OS, if there is between 5-15GBs.

    Do not touch, except to make the recovery of the disks.

    Here is the info on the recovery disks >

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: or E: drive of recovery should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If E: is not the recovery disc, with disc of Vista management you must use all the space of the E: drive, doesn't not part of the E:.

    See if this applies to your situation.

    Save all data on E: > E: remove > and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where E: was.

    "How delete and extend a Partition with Vista disk management"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/95418-disk-management-delete-extend.html

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    You can use these methods to get space on your C: drive:

  • Try to download an update of the firmware with a file extension ROM Vista says it's an unrecognized file type

    Title: download original ROM files on Vista

    Try to download an update of the firmware with a file extension ROM Vista says it's an unrecognized file type. Patches?

    You must get the update of the firmware that can handle the type of file the same place ROMA, you got the firmware file.  From what I see, they seem specific to the product updated. http://www.FileInfo.com/extension/ROM if they don't have it, talk to their technical support staff and ask them what type of program is required to install the firmware provided in ROM format and where you can get it.  Vista doesn't have the ability to read a file ROM type  Some software must be added to give this capability.

    Here is an article I read: "various hardware upgrades and emulators use the ROM file extension." A user needs a flash program usually available on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard. The user must not flashing BIOS unless the user knows that he has the image of his mother. An error or the computer may be turned off when the wrong BIOS image is flashed. "So be very careful here, or you can completely disable your system.

    I hope this helps.

  • New additional box with discs of 4 to 7 k, but I have a question

    So guys,

    We added a new box to our sc8000 and it has 4 to 7 k disks.

    We have created a separate folder (called secondary) and they are in a different pool, in order not to take part in the progression of normal data.

    The thing that that concerns me is that they are classified as T1 discs? I would like to take advantage of compression on SCO v6.5, but which only works on the storage of T3?

    Why they are considered t1? What Miss me

    Storage of the SC series has the ability to create multiple virtual storage containers hierarchical system (clusters of disks) - each pool is evaluated separately from all others. People do this for many reasons, they want to perform billing, or disks encrypted and unencrypted, projects etc. To get the best features the efficiency of storage in a SC would normally use a disk pool and all the resources of disk in it. Allows you to define policies (or use the default values) that will allow you to have the LUN to use different levels of disk for blocks based on age and other criteria (based on the storage policy).

    When you create a new disk pool and put only one type of disc in it - which has only one level. As you need different types of discs the labelling of the level automatically update to reflect this change.

    If you try to create a space that is archival and all LUNS must be compressed immediately, you just make sure you're on the latest version of the firmware SC.

    For your situation - read carefully the document next and then based on the option activate information if necessary.
