apres une longue journée de travail je me pose cette question
le flash d'un disque scsi est il bien util?
sur ma chaine SCSI (gracieusement vendu par chili69) la carte raid Smart array me dit de metre a jour le firmware de certain disque! ( des rebadger pour la plus part)
cela en vaut t'il le coup?
et surtout comment faire? Car les firmware ne court pas les rue par exemple sur le site de seagate!!
une fois que j'aurai mes reponse s'il en est besoin je pourrai faire un tuto car j'ai une bonne 12aine de disque a metre a jour
Test:
Les bios que j'ai pu trouver et ceux que nicodache ma remit
/!\ Attention je ne garantie pas qu'ils conviennent pour les votres
a noté qu'il y a aussi Seagate seatools Entreprse dessus

You will not be able to use the firmware on the drives with the part
numbers of 9T4006-028 and 9W7006-021. Flashing these drives may render
them useless.

and downloading the firmware upgrade.

Your certificate numbers for your downloads are: *******;

characters listed.)
SeaTools Enterprise software will be needed to flash the firmware to your
hard drive. It is available at:
http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/
**Note**
SeaTools Enterprise requires the disc drive be attached to a non-raid SCSI
card to test or flash firmware. Install the drive as a non-boot device on
a non-RAID controller.
====Firmware upgrade instructions====
Seagate highly recommends that you do a complete system backup of any data
on your hard drive prior to performing a firmware flash to ensure there is
no chance of a loss of your data during the process. Seagate is not
responsible for any data loss that may occur during or after your firmware
upgrade.
[*]1. Launch SeaTools.
[*]2. Wait for SeaTools to scan for SCSI drives (approximately 30 seconds).
[*]3. Click VIEW at the top and select ADVANCED.
[*]4. Select your drive.
[*]5. Click ADVANCED at the top and choose FIRMWARE.
[*]6. Select the UPGRADE tab.
[*]7. Click BROWSE and browse to the folder where you extracted the firmware
file.
[*]8. Click UPGRADE NOW.
***[#ff1c00]WARNING[/#ff1c00]*********************************************************
DO NOT power down the server or the drive during this upgrade process.
If power is lost during a firmware upgrade, the drive will be destroyed.
Wait until all drive LED
activity has ceased before powering off the drive.
**************************************************************************
The upgrade process should not take more than 3 minutes per drive.
