6385.0. "firmware upgrade for rz29" by QCAV02::SUPPORT () Mon Feb 10 1997 05:35

    We have a customer who has 4GB wide SBB's with firmware versions
    011, 9103 and 9107 (raid 5 with mylex DAC960). 
    Drive model is ST15150W. 
    1. Can we mix different firmware version drives in a raid pack?
    2. I understand there are some known problems with 011 version such
       as badblock and drive going offline etc.
       Can we upgrade from 011 to 9107 ? (we have a file seaup100.exe to
       upgrade from 011 to 9103)
       If so where is the file required?

6385.1Depends on what system?PCBUOA::WHITECParrot_TrooperMon Feb 10 1997 06:4712
    
    What type of system is this on?   If it's a PRIORIS, then this is the
    wrong notesfile. (just trying to help Roger! ;^)
    
    Try the Prioris notesfile, or the Decstation notesfiles.
    
    Anyhow, there are Tech Tips on the Prioris Support Web Page
    akin40.ako.dec.com/dataroot/internoteshtml/TECHTIPS/2312.htm
    that describes a known anomoly with 0011 in a 4 Gig barraccuda
    and should be upgraded to 9103.
