Savvio, Cheetah, and Constellation Enterprise Server & Storage (SCSI/FC/SAS/SATA) drives

[851d229]

Hi everyone,

I have a LSI Embedded MegaRaid controller, with 2 Seagate ST3300657SS SAS disk.  One is at 0006 Firmware and the other at 0008

I follow the procedure to obtain a new firmware by selecting the model and serial but it say there is no fw

Someone send me a firmware:  Eagle SAS 0008.LOD   but I have no utility to upgrade the firmware

Where can I get this utility, or what is the procedure?

thank you for your support

DM

I believe this may be possible with the enterprise version of SeaTools.

The regular version of sea tools also seems to be able to recognize the SAS drives and give an option to download firmware.  Did this work for you?  I have the 450gb version of the same drive, and I wonder if the firmwares used are the same or do I need a firmware for my specific size?   Do you think you could send it to me as well?

FWIW, I found this Windows based update:

There is also a Linux version.

I'd be very wary about applying a HP update to a retail drive, though. You would need to satisfy yourself that it is OK to proceed.

Thanks for the help.  Looks like the HP firmware needs the SAN in order to be loaded, and doesn't have a standalone install utility.  I'm really looking for the retail firmware anyway.  Hopefully the OP can hook me up, and maybe point me in the direction of the person who hooked them up so I can make sure it's OK to install on the 450gb.

Hi, I can help you.

I own six ST3300657SS drives, which originally came with 0006 firmware.

When I bothered with updating firmare, I made some search over the Net and managed to find updater and 0008 firmware for my drives (from HP site). This is NOT HP-branded firmware (though there are some on HP site), this is a retail Seagate-branded firmare.

And yes, the firmware for 300Gb, 450Gb and 600Gb 15K.7 drives seems to be the same.

Go to this link and download the package.

You will need a Host controller. Pls. note that raid-controller is no go. I myself used Intel SASUC8I (aka LSI SAS3081E-R).

Try and good luck.

Hi!

Had the same Problem. You can flash dhe drives easy also with raid controllers.

With LSI:

You need megacli tool

extract the tool to a folder an put your firmware file inside it

To list the devices:

MegaCli -PDList -aALL

To flash the device:

MegaCLI -PdFwDownload -PhysDrv[15:0] -f yourfirmware.lod -a0

[15:0] means enclosure ID 15 and Slot 0 ;-)

-a0 means Adapter 0

With Adaptec you can use the Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM)

Here you can flash with gui

regards

If someone needs the 0008 Firmware. . . .

Any chance you can repost that firmware utility update again?  Looks like the link has been deleted.  I need to flash firmware from na00 to 0006 or 0008.  Not sure if its possible, but can't seem to find the firmware to flash to begin with.

DEFLORATOR, ISTM that you have used the following OEM HPS1 update package as the basis for your "15K 0008" update:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50001-50500/sp50441.exe

You have then replaced the 15K7HPS1.LOD firmware file with the retail 15K7_SAS0008.LOD file from the following distribution:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/sc-windows-fw-drive/p538919943/v71554/cp015815.exe

AISI, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your latest 15K.rar upload needs to be modified as follows:

Change this line ...

SET FWFILE=15K7HPS1.LOD

... to ...

SET FWFILE=15K7_SAS0008.LOD
