Using AFU To Flash Firmware with Floppy
1. Copy each
*.ufi
file individually to a separate floppy disk.
If you don’t do this, you might encounter read errors from one of the files when
flashing the controller.
2. Shut down the operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable floppy
disk.
3. Insert the floppy with the update files.
4. Run the flash utility program named
AFU.EXE
to backup the current BIOS and
flash the new BIOS image.
For instructions on how to update the firmware using Adaptec Storage Manager
(ASM), refer to the ASM User’s Guide or the ASM online help.
Use StorageTek BIOS Setup Utility to Initialize
Drives and Create Array Before Accessing with
the OS
Before the operating system can use hard disks attached to a StorageTek SAS
Controller, the drives must first be initialized and the array created using the
StorageTek BIOS setup utility. The StorageTek BIOS setup utility can be accessed
using the CTRL-A keystroke combination during server POST.
RPM Must be Installed Before Installing
StorageTek Management Software on Red Hat
Linux 5
To install the StorageTek Management Software on Red Hat Linux 5, an rpm must
first be installed. This is because Java is not supported in Red Hat Linux 5. Use the
rpm that applies to your operating system installation:
■
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-23.i386.rpm
for 32 bit OS
■
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-23.EL.x86_64.rpm
for 64bit OS
They can be found in the
/drivers/linux/RAID/StorageTEK/MGMT/
version
folder on the Tools and Drivers CD. Copy the appropriate rpm file to your Red Hat
5 system and run the
rpm –install
command.
