Firmware Bug Fixes
------------------
1. When media errors are detected during Rebuild operations, the rebuild is unable to complete because the data cannot be reconstructed. A Media Error detected during a Rebuild operation cannot be recovered, and can result in loss of data. All redundant logical drives will be initialized. More specifically, this means that a background initialization (BGI) will also be performed on 3 and 4 drive RAID 5 arrays, and all RAID 1 arrays (and RAID 10/50 variants).

2. Improper reassigning of bad sectors when Write_and_Verify command fails with Media Error (03 11 01). Firmware configures disks to automatically reassign sectors by setting AWRE bit in mode page 1. However some drives do not reassign properly when Write_and_Verify fails & typically return Media Error. Recovery state machine modified and 2 new states added to perform reassign & then reissue original command.

3. Data under run is detected by firmware and after multiple retries; the drive is failed. During SCSI READ, the target completes its data transfer, then disconnects from the SCSI bus without issuing a Save Data Pointers message. When the target reselects the initiator, it sends the final (successful) status. Following a very specific (and uncommon) sequence of SCSI events, the MegaRAID firmware misinterprets the returned command status, and incorrectly simulates a Data Under Run error. The simulated Data Under Run condition will not be generated when the Residual Transfer Count is zero (normal completion).

5.0 Important Information
-------------------------

Firmware upgrade while controller is doing background I/O task:

Firmware upgrade process will fail if any background I/O task (i.e. RAID-5 background consistency check or power on auto-resume rebuild and reconstruction) is being performed.

The program will stop at the "Flash Download" screen with the following message:

"Warning: Firmware download is in progress. Do not reboot the system. It may cause corruption of flash or host adapter configuration".

Firmware and configuration on the adapter will not be modified by the program. A reboot can be performed to return to the Operating System. Wait until the background task completes before updating the firmware.

Installing the PERC 3/DC and 3/QC in a PowerEdge 8450 System:

If the PE8450 has a four channel PERC 2 controller installed along with the PERC 3/QC or PERC 3/DC then PERC 2 Ctrl-A utility may not work during system boot up. This is due to the limited amount of option ROM space for that system. In this situation, configure PERC 2 controller using OS level application or remove other controllers.

Migrating from the PERC 2 to the PERC 3 controllers:

If you are migrating from the PERC 2 to the PERC 3 controllers you should back up your files to tape and then install the PERC 3.

Custom Instructions for FW180_PERC3.exe:


This program creates a bootable diskette to upgrade the firmware
of your RAID controller. You will need a formatted 3 1/2 inch
floppy diskette for the following procedure.

This document provides information about updating to firmware
level 1.80 or later for Dell™ PowerEdge™ Expandable RAID
Controllers (PERC) 3/SC, DC, DCL, QC.

NOTICE: Dell strongly recommends updating the firmware on these
controllers to identify and reallocate existing read errors on
the hard drives. Correcting existing read errors helps prevent
data loss during an array rebuild and prevents drive failures
that are caused by read errors.

Perform the following steps to update the firmware:

1. If possible, perform a tape backup of the system.

NOTICE: It is critical to back up the system. If the consistency
check, which you will run later in this procedure, fails due to
hard drive errors, you will need the tape backup to recover your
system. If you cannot perform a tape backup, you must use your
last known good backup to restore the system.

2. Verify that your hard drives are compatible with the RAID firmware update. Table 1 lists the Seagate hard-drive models and firmware versions that must be updated before updating the RAID firmware:

follow the onscreen instructions to extract the files to
the diskette.

5. Insert the firmware diskette into the system with the RAID
controller for which you want to update the firmware and
reboot the system.

6. Follow the onscreen instructions to update the firmware.

NOTE: To perform the upgrade in noninteractive mode, run the
pflash /? command to view information about command line changes
needed to run in non-interactive mode.

7. Remove the diskette and reboot the system.

8. If you are not using
Dell OpenManage™ Array Manager, perform the following steps.
Otherwise, go to step 9.
a. Go to support.dell.com to obtain the latest RAID controller driver.
See your RAID controller driver installation document for
information about installing the driver.
b. If you have a RAID 5 array that contains five or more drives,
