Current MPT SCSI firmware - 01.03.11.05-IT (Previous - 01.03.06.00-IT)
Firmware Enhancements
1. Improved I/O performance.
2. Improved hard drive status logic when virtual disks are spanned across channels.
3. Firmware will automatically change cache settings to WriteThru when a battery problem is detected to preserve data. If WriteBack was originally selected, firmware will switch back once battery problem has been corrected.
4. In the Rebuild function of CRTL-M, a new status called “INCON” will be displayed after a rebuild operation completes if any unrecoverable errors are found in any of the hard disk drives. To identify the location of the error and if any data was present, run a check disk from the O/S (e.g. chkdsk in windows).
Note: Dell recommends that a check disk or consistency check should be run after any RAID rebuild operation is completed by the controller.
Firmware Bug Fixes
1. When multiple hard drive media errors are encountered, array rebuild operation will complete.
2. Consistency checks are aborted after reboot in cluster or stand alone mode. User must restart consistency check manually if needed.
3. Manual initialization calls will be rejected if a background initialization or consistency check is in progress on the logical drive.
4. Address potential controller lock-ups that could occur during either degraded, rebuilding or multiple drive pull and reinsert scenarios.
5. Addressed potential controller freezing during driver failure on possible Raid configurations.not zero, then we make size as zero and log it.
