Updating the Flash Using the IFU Command Line
1
Create the firmware floppy disks (see
page 105
).
2
Power off your computer, insert the first IFU floppy disk, then power on your computer.
If your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable floppy disk, enter the system setup
utility to change the setting.
3
At the DOS command, if you have multiple controllers and you don’t know the number of
the controller you want to update, type
IFU LIST
, then press
Enter
. Otherwise, skip to the
next step.
4
At the DOS command, type IFU followed by a command (see
page 106
) and any switches
you want.
5
Update the flash using the instructions suitable for your requirements:
●
To update a single RAID controller
:
IFU UPDATE /C <
cont_number
>
Where
<
cont_number
>
is the number of the RAID controller whose firmware you
are updating. For example, to upgrade Controller 0, type
IFU UPDATE /C 0
●
To update multiple RAID controllers
:
IFU UPDATE /C <
cont_number_a
>,<
cont_number_b
>
Where
<
controller_number_a
>
and
<
controller_number_b
>
are the
numbers of the ICP RAID controllers whose firmware you are updating. For example,
to upgrade controllers 0, 2, and 3, type
IFU UPDATE /C 0, 2, 3
●
To update all RAID controllers simultaneously
:
IFU UPDATE /C all
Note:
The UFI file identifies the RAID controllers, so you don’t have to worry about
flashing the wrong controller.
6
When prompted, insert the first firmware disk into your floppy disk drive.
The IFU reads the first disk.
7
When prompted, remove the first firmware disk and insert the second firmware disk into
your floppy disk drive.
8
Repeat
Step 7
as required until the flash update is complete.
