StorageTek 2540 SAN array
Bought a Sun StorageTek 2540 SAN array a few years ago from a company that was going out of business. When we first set it up, we were able to get all the software (Common Array Manager) and firmware directly from Sun.
We just upgraded the drives, but the array is too large for the firmware. Now that Oracle's taken over, the latest firmware is no longer available.
Any suggestions or help?
