Drobo update...

I've not been keeping track of how many days the Drobo has been running.. maybe that's a good thing since...well...it's still running.

The Drobo Dashboard runs in the background monitoring all things Drobo.  It gave me an alert that there was a firmware update that was recommended.  As a general rule, I perform all the firmware updates since the manufactures surely know better than I...Microsoft updates, Nikon camera specific updates and now the Drobo.  Seemed easy enough.  Just download, install and reboot the Drobo unit.

But for some reason the Drobo failed to reboot throwing an error message that Drive R was still running preventing the Drobo from going into standby mode.  Hmmm... Drive R is the Drobo.  Sounds like it's chasing it's own tail.

Quick visit to Data Robotics support site and followed instructions to reset it.  Done, and done.

The Drobo monitor reports all drives are fine and once again Drobo is healthy.

Excellent, now I can forget about again.
