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):

1. I downloaded 534R2 itself . . . .no problem.

2. I need to upgrade firmware from 2.1_a2 to 2.2_a2. I grabbed the

microcode from NOW, downloaded it . . . no problem.

3. 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

It is a part of the OS package. Install a newer OS, or at least unpack it and you'll find the firmware in there.
