Profile XP System Guide

Performing PFR500 maintenance tasks

PFR500 maintenance tasks include:

• “Downloading PFR500 disk drive firmware” on page 100

• “Disk firmware download: Alternate procedure” on page 101

• “Forcing LUNs online: Recovery from improper power-off sequence” on page

• “Forcing a replacement drive to rebuild” on page 103

• “Starting and Stopping disk initialization” on page 104

• “Checking and restoring default PFR500 RAID Controller settings” on page

• “Checking PFR500 disk settings” on page 106

• “Restoring PFR500 disk settings” on page 106

Downloading PFR 500 disk drive firmware

When upgrading your Profile XP System Software, you may be instructed in the
software release notes to upgrade the PFR500 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 GVG Disk 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. Also, the Disk Utility allows selecting multiple
controllers for disk firmware upgrades, however, upgrades are handled one
controller at a time. Take this into consideration when scheduling the upgrade.

To download disk drive firmware:

1. In the GVG Disk Utility, right-click a controller in the tree view, then select

Advanced | Download Disk Firmware

in the context menu.

2. In the Open dialog box, locate the c:\profile\microcode directory, then select the

latest .lod file for your disk drive type.

For example, use:

Use Ciprico_Seagate73LP_<version #>.lod for 73GB Seagate drives

Use Ciprico_Seagate181HH_<version #>.lod for 180G Seagate drives

Where <version #> specifies the firmware version number.

To determine drive type and current firmware version, select a drive in the tree
view, then note the drive properties reported in the right-hand pane.
