Full FW using PC3K SAS

[_root]

Hi Guys,

I bought a PC-3000 SAS recently and new to it.

Would you please guide me how to make a full FW copy of a HDD and upload it on another one?


Assuming that both HDDs are exactly the same Seagate SAS.

I think you don't know exactly what you want to do....
What's your idea?

Let me explain, then that might help

I have 2 identical new Seagate HDDs and as I said before, I'm new to PC-3000 SAS. I have started training and working with different options. I do not know what exactly I did with FW of a HDD which has got faced errors and malfunction.

Then I've tried to get a full FW copy from the healthy HDD and upload it to the one which I explained above. but no success. Maybe because I am new to PC-3000, I am doing the process wrong.


I really appreciate teaching me how to solve this case.


Thanks

Are you writing FW from healthy drive to the Problem/defected drive? and expecting it to work?

Yes,
As I messed up with the FW, so, I am trying to replace it with the FW of the healthy one.
Hope it works.

This is not how it works with hard drives. Many modules are unique and cant just be replaced.
Its not like flashing a mobile phone, its more complicated.

If you check the firmware modules, the PC3K utility will tell you if that module is unique or not, or if you can use that module from a donor.
You should inspect that better.
