• K2 software has been upgraded on the K2 Media Server. This is required because
the firmware files are copied onto the K2 Media Server when the K2 software is
installed.
1. Determine if disk drive firmware upgrades are required as follows:
a) Select a disk drive icon in the Storage Utility tree view, then note the drive
properties reported in the right-hand pane.
b) Refer to the K2 Lx0 RAID compatibility specifications earlier in these release
notes for drive-type identifiers and firmware versions.
2. If an upgrade is required, continue with this procedure to upgrade disk drive
firmware.
Refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual for complete procedures.
3. In Storage Utility, right-click a controller in the tree view, then select Advanced |
Download Disk Firmware in the context menu.
NOTE: You can download firmware to a single disk by right-clicking a disk
icon in the tree view.
The Open File dialog box opens.
4. In the Open File dialog box, browse to the desired firmware file for your disks,
select the file, and click OK.
As instructed by a message that appears, watch the lights on the drives. For each
drive, one at a time, the lights flash as firmware loads. Wait until the lights on
all the drives on which you are downloading firmware have completed their
flashing pattern. This can take several minutes.
The Progress Report window appears showing the disk firmware download task
and the percentage complete.
5. When finished, restart the K2 Media Server.
