Re: Hard Drive firmware update issue with DSU

Soorej -

I have run the inventory report as you requested, and have attached it 
to this email.  I assume it may get stripped off going to the mailing 
list so I cc'd you directly also.  I glanced at the xml file and the 
only thing that looks like it might be significant is that the replaced 
disk has a componentID=00000, whereas all the other disks show a 
componentID=20796.  Not sure why, since they are all clearly the same 
model drives.  I hope this help you understand the issue and we can work 
to resolve it.  Thanks.

Jeff

The Seagate support site identifies the current firmware for the drive as 000B, released on 8/13/2012. The Dell support site identifies the current firmware for the drive as ES68, released on 6/10/2015. The new drive I installed shows a firmware version of 000B, while the firmware of the three original drives is shown as ES68. This is shown in the dsu --inventory results below (all other firmware on the box is up-to-date and is not shown). However when the dsu update is run it only identifies the first drive in the backplane (which has current firmware) and does not make any reference to the other three drives, and in particular the drive that has firmware 000B. So my question becomes, how do I updated the firmware in one specific drive? Is this a bug in the implementation of the dsu utility?
