Upgrade RAID controller microcode
Do not do this task if:
•
The K2 RAID controller and expansion chassis microcode is already at compatible versions, as
listed in
Compatible K2 RAID components
on page 35.
•
The K2 RAID is a Level 2 or Level 3.
Do this task if:
•
The K2 RAID controller and/or expansion chassis microcode is at a version that is not compatible.
The microcode files are copied on to the K2 Media Server when the K2 system software is installed.
1. Refer to the K2 RAID compatibility specifications earlier in these release notes for the version
to which you must upgrade and for the file names for the microcode files.
2. Use Storage Utility to upgrade microcode.
Refer to the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual for procedures.
3. On 100% completion, proceed as follows:
•
If the RAID controller chassis has redundant controllers, no power cycle is required. The
microcode download is complete.
•
If the RAID controller chassis does not have redundant controllers, power cycle the RAID
controller chassis, then restart the K2 Media Server.
Upgrade RAID disk drive firmware
Do not do this task if:
•
The K2 RAID disk drive firmware is already at compatible versions, as listed in
Compatible K2
RAID disk drive firmware
on page 36.
•
The K2 RAID is Level 2 or Level 3 SAN.
Do this task if:
•
The K2 RAID disk drive firmware is at a version that is not compatible.
Prerequisites:
•
The RAID system is offline.
•
Only the primary K2 Media Server is powered up.
•
K2 software has been upgraded on the K2 Media Server. This is required because the firmware
files are copied onto the K2 Media Server when the K2 software is installed.
1. Determine if disk drive firmware upgrades are required as follows:
a) Select a disk drive icon in the Storage Utility tree view, then note the drive properties reported
in the right-hand pane.
b) Refer to the K2 RAID compatibility specifications earlier in these release notes for drive-type
identifiers and firmware versions.
