Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:

Regression including performacne of BA08 FW for PM6. Issue: 6.4TB or bigger capacity may detect LBA mismatch condition internally and stop the drive operation. Drive goes to the failure mode and does not recover by the drive power cycle.
Cause: 6.4TB or bigger capacity model uses 512Gb Flash Memory. When reading data from the Flash Memory, the FW mistakenly drops the one bit of the physical address, causing the LBA mismatch condition internally. The user-data stored in the Flash memory are protected by the LBA seeded CRC and the drive correctly detected the LBA mismatch then stop the drive operation.
Fix: Fix FW to handle the physical address correctly regardless of 512Gb or 256Gb Flash Memory. Issue: When the Die Retirement (Chip Kill) is needed and a random write operation hits the flash memory, which is being retired, the drive may fall into a failure mode and report SNS=04/44/E0.
Cause: When the Die Retirement (Chip Kill) is necessary and a write access is happened to that Die, the BE (Backend) CPU goes into recovery mode and reports the status to FE (Front End) CPU. When this report is sent to FE CPU, FE CPU instructs BE CPU to do Shutdown (=STOP UNIT). However, this shutdown request was issued without waiting for the Die Retirement to complete, causing SNS=04/44/E0. All user-data are unreadable in this situation.
Fix: FE CPU waits for BE CPU operation to complete before issuing shutdown. Fix the MU 1.6TB and MU2 1.92TB power consumption over spec issue.

Important Information

This update will not run if any of the following conditions exist
1. Any Virtual Disk that is not optimal.
2. A RAID container that is performing a Background Initialization or Consistency Check.
3. A Rebuild, Resync, or copyback function is taking place.
4. A RAID set that is Partially Degraded or in a Degraded state.

This update will run on drives remaining in a RAID set that is in a Offline state.

There is an architectural constraint with Dell DUP HDD firmware update utility, related to system memory utilization, which is typically encountered on systems with minimal system memory, memory-intensive configurations, multiple RAID controllers, or memory-intensive applications. This issue is typically reported as - The operation was not successful because the device buffer write has failed. And will result in an aborted attempt to update firmware on the identified HDD. Error codes associated with this failure mode include 8009 and 8017. Once an error is detected, the update session is aborted. There is no data integrity or data availability risk associated with this issue. Subsequent attempts to update the HDD firmware may succeed, particularly if system resources are freed up.
