Drive Firmware Important?
Smart Array 3200
Smart 2P
3 drive cages, two on 3200, one on Smart 2P.
I have recently added larger drives to this system, replacing all but the four 9.1 gig compaq drive where the system partition and OS reside in a RAID 5 array.
My question is do I need to update the firmware on the new drives(IBM DGHS 18-Y, 18.2) since they did not come from Compaq?
Is there a utility that will show me what firmware the drives currently have?
Regards,
ben

Re: Drive Firmware Important?
Its always a good to upgrade firmware. But for the utility to check firmware on IBM drive, I would suggest looking on the IBM site for such a utility and for the firmware upgrade as well.

Re: Drive Firmware Important?
Anyway, I am pretty sure Hitachi/IBM does not supply any Updates to Firmware.
