Hmm. Rev 14 and 16 are OK for RZ29B. 07 had some issues when used behind Storageworks array controller. 09 I've never seen. Is the NetApp really that picky? rev 16 is the latest and greatest so... > My question is: How can I do this upgrade myself?

IRRC I've done it with some Windoze tool called SCSI Toolset. I have never tried going from DEC f/w to stock Seagate f/w though. See no reason why that should not work. I could ask our disk specialist if you want me to.
