Install 5.3.4R2. When you reboot the system will complain about a number of disks having downrev firmware.
Turn NFS & CIFS off (nfs off / cifs terminate)
then run disk_fw_update. When it completes, turn NFS & CIFS back on.
Or, I believe the rec. procedure is to boot from floppy without /etc/rc (option 2) and then run the disk_fw_update)

I'm currently on 5.2.2 and want to upgrade to latest recommended release: 5.3.4R2. In looking at NOW and for 534R2 I find the following (I have 2 F740 NetApps):
I downloaded 534R2 itself . . . .no problem.
I need to upgrade firmware from 2.1_a2 to 2.2_a2. I grabbed the
microcode from NOW, downloaded it . . . no problem.
- I need to upgrade my ST118202FC disk drive firmware from FD99 to
FDF6. I searched NOW but could find no disk drive firmware.
So . . .QUESTION: Where does one get the disk drive firmware?
THis is the first time I've ever upgraded my NetApps, so I'm assuming I've missed something simple!
THanks
