dfdutil
Shared SCSI Buses
If dfdutil is running on a system which shares any of its SCSI busses
with another system or systems, the other system or systems must be
halted while this program is running. This program can not determine
that a bus is shared, so the operator must determine if any bus is shared
and halt the other computer(s).
Shared Nike Arrays
If dfdutil is running on a system which shares a Nike array with
another system, it is not possible to update firmware on the Nike's SP
boards or drives without manual intervention. This program can detect
that the array is shared and display a message to pull the SP board
connected to the other system and reinsert the board after the
download(s) is complete.
Nike and Galaxy drive download to the individual disks in the array is
not possible with two active SP controllers in the cabinet. One SP must
either be physically removed or shut down via remote maintenance
software (accessed via the serial port).
