Configuring partner firmware update
In a dual-controller system in which Partner Firmware Update (PFU) is enabled, when you update firmware
on one controller, the system automatically updates the partner controller. Disable partner firmware update
only if requested by a service technician.
Use the SMC, RAIDar, or the CLI to change the PFU setting.
Using the SMC or RAIDar
IMPORTANT: See the “Updating firmware” topic within the AssuredSAN 4004 Series Storage Management
Guide before performing a firmware update.
To change the PFU setting using the SMC (v3):
1.
Sign-in to the SMC using default user
manage
and password
!manage
.
If the default user or password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure
login credentials instead of the system defaults shown above.
2.
Click in the System panel in the banner, and select
Action
>
Update Firmware
.
The Update Firmware panel opens. The Update Controller Modules tab shows versions of firmware
components that are currently installed in each controller.
NOTE: The SMC does not provide a check-box for enabling or disabling Partner Firmware Update for
the partner controller. To enable or disable the setting, use the
set advanced-settings
command, and set the
partner-firmware-upgrade
parameter. See the CLI Reference Guide
for more information about command parameter syntax. Also see Using the CLI on page 24.
To change the PFU setting using RAIDar (v2):
1. Sign-in to RAIDar using default user
manage
and password
!manage
.
If the default user or password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure
login credentials instead of the system defaults shown above.
2. Click in the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Configuration > Advanced
Settings > Firmware .
3. Either select (check) the Partner Firmware Update check box to enable the option, or clear the check
box to disable the option.
4. Click Apply .
Using the CLI
You can set a CLI preference to use v3 or v2 terminology in command output and system messages.
TIP: The following CLI commands enable you to set the management mode to v3 or v2:
• Use
set protocols
to change the default management mode.
• Use
set cli-parameters
to change the current management mode for the CLI session.
The system defaults to v3 for new customers and v2 for existing users (see the CLI Reference Guide for more
information).
1. Log-in to the command-line interface using default user
manage
and password
!manage
.
If the default user or password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure
login credentials instead of the system defaults shown above.
2. To verify that partner firmware upgrade is enabled, run the following command:
