8.3 Interface Board Firmware
This firmware is referred to as the “IB firmware” because the functional code resides
on the interface board. However, the interconnect assembly of the disk array
contains a master copy that is used to download any IB that is installed. Be aware
that this automatic download occurs even if the IB has a newer revision of firmware.
This protects against the disk array ever running different versions in the two IBs.
8.3.1 Checking IB Firmware
When you replace an IB or an interconnect assembly, you should always check the
firmware revision of the IBs.
● To check the revision of IB firmware, use the
luxadm display
command and
grep
for “FW”.
For this example, the firmware revision is 1.01:
or
● Use the FPM on the disk array.
See Section 5.13 “Interface Boards” on page 5-14.
