Downloading disk drive firmware
You might be instructed in K2 release notes to upgrade disk drive firmware. This
allows you to take advantage of the disk drive enhancements and benefit from
improved performance and reliability.
To determine your disk drive type and current firmware version, select a disk drive
icon in the Storage Utility tree view, then note the drive properties reported in the
right-hand pane. Use the following procedure if you need to download disk drive
firmware.
NOTE: The disk drives on each controller are upgraded one at a time which can
take as long as 2 minutes per drive. Take this into consideration when scheduling
the upgrade.
Requirements for this procedure are as follows:
• All K2 Media Clients and other clients must be powered down, or in some other
way disconnected from the K2 Storage System.
• The K2 Media Server through which Storage Utility is connected to the RAID
Storage must be powered up.
