Anyone has Navisphere Service Taskbar?
Hi, colleagues!
I know subj was replaced with USM in 2010, but still need this old version badly.
Please, share if you happen to have it!

It is possible to have different versions on disk firmware on disks in the same raid group, just as you can have different vendor's disks in the same raid group - as long as the disk is the same capacity you can have different firmware versions or different vendors. It's not recommended, but you can also have different size disks in the same raid group, but you would lose the space on the larger disk - it would only use the capacity of the smallest capacity disk in the raid group.

I'd recommend opening a case with EMC - it's getting a bit hard to find the old service tools, but they still exist. You can refer to this discussion thread and I can help whomever takes your case.

Thanks, Glen! But this is not a solution for us, we don't have any service contract with EMC.
The reason I am looking for NST is that I need to update firmware for 1 disk in CX4-120 system. And our newest USM soft does not show this menu item, only Download Firmware. I hoped NST will show. But yesterday I saw a post saying that only AX systems are able to update disk firmware.
Is it possible at all to have two disks with different firmware in a same RAID 1? It seems to be possible, but I am not sure.

Panidi,
I may have what you're looking for. NST 6.28.50.2.37 setup file, ~46 megs. If you have someplace I can upload to, I'll be more than happy to send it.
Let me know.

Thanks, Glen! Exactly what I wanted to hear!
May be you can answer another question for me?
The fact that RAID group can have disks with different capacity (even temporary) clearly leads to the idea of increasing RAID capacity by simply replacing disks one-by-one with bigger ones. Maybe using Hot Spare.
Let's say I have RAID 1 on Disk0 and Disk1 and HS on Disk14. All of them 1 TB.
I will replace HS with 2 TB disk and move data from Disk0 to it. Then I will replace Disk0 with another 2 TB disk and let Clariion equalize Disk0 & Disk1. Disk0 will be used only 50%. Then I replace Disk1 with 2 TB disk and again let system to equalize. Having done that I will have RAID 1 array on two 2TB disks + 2TB HS.
The question is: will Clariion understand that now I have extra 1TB of unused space in RAID and let me make additional LUNs out of this space?
Sooner or later we will need to increase our storage capacity and of course I am looking for the cheapest and easyest solution for that. What do you think?

Thank you very much, Brian!
Unfortunately we do not have FTP and use of cloud storge will need you to register on it.

DO you have this NST to share? I have a CX4-240 running flare 4.28. To upgrade the flare I need the old NST.

Do you still have the NST available? I have an old cx3 and need to upgrade firmware on some disks.

The latest version is "NaviServiceTaskbar-Win-32-x86-loc-6.29.2.0.62-6.exe". I don't see that anymore on the support.emc.com pages.
I've loaded this to the following FTP site - link is good for 7 days starting on 22018-06-18 at 14:30 GMT. I've encrypted it using 7zip - the password is glen
