Change Firmware Seagate Chetah SAS 300GB 15K5

[walarcon]

Hello,
I am new in this forum and working with disk as well. My problem is the next:
I have a Powervault MD3000i with 11 disk Seagate Chetah SAS 300GB 15K, especifically ST3300655SS
I was trying to change one disk which is faulty for one Seagate Chetahh SAS 300DG 15K5 Serial: ST3300657SS. The probblem is I bought this disk directly from Seagate but I cannot Update the DELL firmware for this disk. I have trying using the software give by DELL but it does not work. The Firmware from Seagate is the 008 and I would like to change it with the DELL firmaware S528 but is not succesfull.

I appreciate if somebody has done before and can explain me how to do it.

I have a similar situation. Were you ever able to get the drive flashed with the Dell firmware? If so how?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

I'm more or less at the same situation. Any updates on this?

Thanks,

Seagate Enterprise drives have a FW lock on them. You cannot easily change from OEM to OEM

Sorry, my memory failed me. I thought the above thread was about upgrading HP firmware to Seagate retail firmware. Instead it describes how to apply a retail firmware update to a retail Seagate SAS HDD by using the firmware updater utility in an OEM update package (HP).

Then they wonder why after some time something wonderful happens....
