The file is transferred to the controller where it is temporarily stored prior to
download to the disk drives. Once the firmware update process has started, the
Drive Firmware Loading Progress page provides the update progress of each disk
drive, including when the firmware update completes successfully.
This operation can take many minutes or hours to complete. During the update, the
following operations are blocked so that they do not interfere with the update:
Updating controller software (buffer interference)
■
Saving logs to a file (buffer interference)
■
Displaying disk drive read-cache status (SCSI interference)
■
When all selected drives have been updated, a message indicates that the update is
complete.
9. Verify that the proper firmware version, size, and speed are reported for each
updated disk drive.
10. Restore host access to the storage system and optionally enable background scrub.
Stopping or Aborting a Disk Drive Firmware Update
The Stop Device Firmware Update button stops the update operation at the next
point that will leave the disk drives in a clean state. If you click this button while
the file is being downloaded to the controller, the download stops in a few seconds
and no disk drives are updated. If you click this button after download to the disk
drives has started, the process is stopped after the update to the current disk drive is
complete. No updates that are already done or started are undone. It can take up to
several minutes for a stop operation to complete.
Caution – The Abort Device Firmware Update button immediately stops the
firmware update and leaves the disk drive in an unknown, possibly unusable state. If
you choose this option, wait two minutes to enable the disk drive to possibly finish
writing to its nonvolatile memory.
