Binaries Using RAIDWatch Program
1. Connect to the RAID system locally or from a remote computer
using RAIDWatch Manager. While connected to the RAID
system, there will be icon(s) with IP address specified on the
left of the menu screen. Select by double-clicking the icon of
the RAID system which firmware is to be upgraded. Select the
“Configuration Parameters” icon and then select the “System”
tab. Single-click the “Download FW+BR” check circle. Click
the Apply button to proceed. A message prompt should
display. Click Yes and then a file location prompt will appear.
2. Provide the boot record binary filename, the RAIDWatch
Manager will start to download the boot record binary to the
controller.
3. After the boot record download is completed, provide the
firmware filename to the RAIDWatch Manager. It will start to
download the firmware to RAID controller.
4. Shutdown the application server(s) or stop the application(s)
which are accessing the RAID, then reset the RAID
subsystem/controller in order to use the new downloaded
firmware. With firmware release 3.21 and above, host I/Os
will not be interrupted by the download process. Users may
find a chance to stop host I/Os and reset the controller for new
firmware to take effect.
