ADR 120si SCSI

[Screamsid]

This might sond really silly but how do you update the firmware on the drive on a Win2K server?

Also is anyone using ARCserve for there backup software?

Thanks in advance!!

Screamsid: the firmware for the ADR2 drives only had a dos updater, so you would have to make a boot disk with a win95 or 98 machine, and load aspi drivers, then run it.

thanks gwootton, i'll do that right away and see if i have any joy from it. However at the moment we keep gettin SCSI errors on the I/O. We've changed the SCSI card and the problem still persists. Could the firmware solve this problem?

 

[Screamsid]

just to add on, i've started the firmware upgrade but i'm now being asked with a HBA number. Where would this be located?

 

[gwootton]

The firmware update for the drive shouldn't be asking for HBA number. If the SCSI card firmware is asking for that, I don't know what that HBA number is referring to. As far as SCSI I/O error, that may be a problem with the scsi configuration. try changing the data transfer rate for the scsi ID to 20mb/s, and disabling sync. negotiation, see if that affects it at all.
Thanks,
Greg
