NSR N1200 FW upgrade problem

[Steve B_5]

Hi ALL,

I have updated the FW on my NSR N1200 to 5.6.69 to try and improve our backups as we are having issues with the MSL600 ( upto date FW using LTT )going off line and we never get a consistant backup

Problem is since i updated the FW (updated using serial cable)on the NSR all the fiber links into the SAN are degraded and the MSL locks up, this also creates lots of event's 1185/9/15 and appeared to crash the cluster.

NSR currently turned off


we have a MSA 1000 with two cluster nodes (standard setup) on the front end and a dedicated backup server with runs the main catalog for Veritas 9.1



Anybody else had the same? or any help in resolving this?

Not sure if this applies to you, but
last time I checked, those NSRs by default also work as a SCSI initiator and will contact your storage array if you did not separate both by zoning in the Fibre Channel switch.
