We've got several Pegasus R6 units. Today I updated the Promise Utility to version 4.00.0000.08. Once that version was installed I received new firmware updates (5.04.0000.61) for the Pegasus units. The units are now running 5.04.0000.57.

On a Mac Mini mid 2011 running 10.10.5 we've two R6 units connected.

I started by updating only one R6 unit to the latest firmware version on that Mac Mini. What happened is that the firmware update gets stuck at 99% - Updating Image. It stayed there for more than an hour. While the firmware update was stuck at 99% I navigated in the Promise Utility to Check for Updates. Next thing that happened, Promise Utility crashed & quited. 

I've now restarted the Promise Utility and have restarted the Firmware update. Again it's stuck at 99%.

In the Console the following log entry gets repeated every 10 seconds:

23/08/17 11:06:04,448 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.promise.BGPMain_R[4638]) Service exited due to signal: User defined signal 1: 30

I'm afraid that the R6 will be bricked when I turn off or power cycle it. What's the best action to take at this moment without bricking the R6?

I've been able to resolve the issue.

When I rebooted the Mac Mini I tried to perform the firmware upgrade again. But it kept getting stuck at 99%. I force quited the application and tried applying the upgrade using promiseutil. When I tried it I got the following error message:

cliib> ptiflash -f /Users/nameofuser/Desktop/R_SI_504000061.img

Error (0x49815102): subsystem lock by other is present

 

In the end I configured a MacBook Pro running 10.10.5, downloaded the Promise Utility and installed it. This time it said version 4.00.0000.09. I then connected the R6 to the MacBook Pro and applied the firmware update using the Promise Utility. The update process lasted a few seconds and was succesfull. I then unmounted the volume and power cycled the R6. The unit is now on 5.04.0000.61.
