-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
We have a number of MD3000s, some of which are on the older RC1 (e.g. 06.70.15.60) generation controller firmware. We have no way of guaranteeing whether or not drives are fresh when we add and replace them. The reason why this is an issue is because we have seen in the past that putting drives with RC2 (e.g. 07.35.31.60) DACStor locking up a controller with RC1 firmware, so normally we just upgrade the firmware to RC2. There are some situations where we can't afford the downtime to do this, though. Does anyone know: 1. where on the physical drive the DACstor is located and if it can be wiped by something like dd or a standard drive wipe 2. if putting an RC2 drive into an RC1 MD3000 then running sysWipe wipes the old DACStor and puts an RC2 one on there 3. can deleting the foreign config for an RC2 drive via a PERC6/e delete the DACStor? Thanks for any info you guys can provide! - -Stephen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkv9gW0ACgkQIDTmPxMSl1fW1ACfXgcKTL12awsLi2wBw8UYqMBs k5IAoIrLHF2qpYNYDleZrFUpGLP64pId =wYsI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message (including any attached or embedded documents) is intended for the exclusive and confidential use of the individual or entity to which this message is addressed, and unless otherwise expressly indicated, is confidential and privileged information of Rackspace.
