[SOLVED] Question about HPA and Firmware Update

Featured Replies

Ok, perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid but I wanted to confirm that I could force a CC35 firmware upgrade on a new, unformatted Seagate ST32000542AS 2TB drive using a Gigabyte MB (it's a UD3P so no option to disable HPA that I know of) without worrying about an HPA partition being added?

 

On a similar note, I noticed these lines in my syslog and I'm trying to figure out which drive currently has HPA on it (the Hitachi?):

Thanks for the quick response Joe.  I went ahead and forced the firmware update and myMain is reporting the following disk sizes:

Should I be concerned or will the size of the RAW disk decrease when I pre-clear it?

Thanks for the reply Brit but I think you missed the point of my last post.  I don't have HPA on any of the 2TB Seagate drives already in the array just the 1TB Hitachi.  However, I noticed the size of my newest 2TB drive is slightly larger than all of the other drives so I'm wondering if that's an issue for parity or is it just because the drive is RAW unformatted?  All of the 2TB Seagates are the ST32000542AS model.

It will decrease when you format it.

Thanks again Joe!

 

One last thing, since the 1TB Hitachi drive with HPA is currently blank, do I still reconstruct it after I use HDPARM to remove HPA?

Thanks again Joe!

What do you mean by "blank" ???

 

1. Fresh from factory, never written

2. Pre-cleared and not assigned to array

3. Assigned to the array but not formatted

4. Assigned to the array and formatted, but no files written to it.

 

Did I miss one?

That would be #4...sorry!

It is not blank.  It has been formatted.

 

Yes, it needs to be re-constructed.

ok, thanks Joe.
