3693.0. "TZ88 fimware V65" by NETRIX::"bevis@mail.dec.com" (Steve Bevis) Mon Mar 10 1997 20:27

Hi,
I've had a request from a customer requesting a firmware upgrade
to his TZ88. He is running C gate Exec software(?) on an NT box
and has been told that he requires the latest version, which
according to the call details, is V65.

Any ideas where if this is correct and where I can get it from.
I've tried  SUBSYS::LCA:[SPECs.TAPE.TZ88], but the latest version there is
TZ88_V52_DEC.TZ_IMAGE.

Help anybody.
thanks in anticipation,
Steve Bevis

3693.1SANITY::LEMONSAnd we thank you for your support.Tue Mar 11 1997 18:398
    Hi Steve
    
    I can't help with the firmware, but your customer is probably talking
    about Seagate Exec software; see the Seagate Web site
    (http://www.seagate.com) for more information about their products.
    This software, I believe, was created by Arcada, which Seagate bought.

3693.2How to check TZ885 F.W. version?KAOFS::M_NAKAGAWAWed Mar 12 1997 11:3415
Hi,

Storange,  I received very similar request from our customer today.
He has COMPAQ 2500 system running WindowsNT V4.0 and having problems
with TZ885(SWXTL-CL??) during backups.
He is also using SEAGATE EXECUTIVE BACKUP software and being told to
update TZ885 firmware but his case up to version V5.1[CC33] or higher.

My question:	How to check his current TZ885 firmware version?
    
Thanks,
CRDC/Mitz

re .2


	The TZ885 firmware version can be read from the Windows NT
registry. Look in

	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
	  HARDWARE
	    DEVICEMAP
	      SCSI
		Scsi Port x
		  Scsi Bus x
		    Target Id x
		      Logical Unit Id x
			At the end of the Identifier field is the version.

    If your customer has problem and needs FW that DIGITAL has not
    released, open IPMT case. It'll be dealt case by case.

V52 is the latest shipping rev.  

As T mentioned in .5, if you feel another version of code is needed, log an IPMT case.
