October 19, 2008 K2 Storage System Version 3.2.74 Release Notes 13
Level 3 RAID disk drive microcode
Level 3 RAID disk drive microcode
Versions of disk drive microcode are compatible with this 3.2.74 release of K2
software as summarized in the following table:
When loading Level 3 RAID disk drive microcode, select the controller to load
microcode on all drives. Do not select an individual drive to load microcode. First
load the servo file for the specific drive capacity, then load the interface file. After
loading the interface file, wait several minutes while the drives automatically
re-power themselves.
Be aware that Storage Utility can report inconsistent disk drive microcode versions.
This can be a normal condition, since the Level 3 RAID system supports multiple
drive capacities and microcode versions. Be sure to compare the version numbers
with this table, and update only as required.
