PS5000E hard disk firmware update?
Hi,
I'm trying to update hard disk firmware on a PS5000E but the following message is given.
Is there another way to update the firmware?
Inside the tar.gz file I see a file
kit_V7.0_DriveFw_1925749062\dfu\fwdsc\ST31000524NS.dsc
That contains a pointer to the firmware kit_V7.0_DriveFw_1925749062\dfu\fwbin\KD0A.lod
So can I do a "support exec sh" and then run an application to insert the KD0A.lod firmware into a specific drive?
It should update disk8 only (currently ST31000524NS - KD03)
I'm running group firmware V7.1.4 (R405872)
Regards,
Serjan

Thanks Donald,
Is it possible outside of the device to upgrade the firmware? For example when inserting the disk into a DELL T5500 workstation?

Another Dell Engineer suggested to insert the drive into the SPARE slot of an PS6000 and update the firmware using that member. This might be a solution I'll keep you updated on what I did.

Serjan!
Did you ever tried to upgrade firmware of those PS5000 drives using the spare slot on the PS6xxx??
