Firmware Package History
BlueScale2.8.0.1
This release implements hardware changes to the nTier700. It also updates the Windows operating system with the patches that were available as of June 14, 2010 (with the exception of Internet Explorer 8) and the drivers for the internal cards.
Enhancements and Changes
The Spectra nTier700 Backup and Archive Appliance User Guide incorrectly states that Ethernet ports 2 through 4 have a fixed IP addresses as the default. The default IP address for all four Ethernet ports is set to DHCP. Refer to Spectra nTier700 Backup and Archive Appliance User Guide for information about using a blade operator panel to determine the DHCP- assigned address for Ethernet port 1 and if necessary configure a fixed IP address.
BlueScale 2.7.2.5
This release improves the operation of the nTier700.
Enhancements
The nTier700 now supports using 2 TB data drives; the 500 GB drives are no longer available for purchase.
The operating speed of the fans in the chassis is now regulated by the temperature inside the chassis. Depending on the temperature, the fans can operate at lower speeds, reducing power consumption and the overall noise from the system.
Resolved Issues
The operator panel Drive Status tab now indicates when a drive in the blade is in a failed state.
