FW Update procedure for 68-Pin ultra320 scsi drives

[spekyteky]

Hi folks,

I am trying to update the firmware on some old scsi ultra 320 68-pin hard drives (Model Number is BD14697B58) but seem to be getting no where, I have the drives in a proliant ML370 G5 Attached to LSI22320-R(HP) HBA, the drives can be seen at post and in disk management etc within win2003 server, but i cannot get ACU to see the controller, i have tried various versions of update manager, smart start both on USB and disc and i am getting no where lol I do think the drives are fine as they are being seen at post and in OS i have also formatted them. Any help would be very much appreciated

Cheers

Brian
