Important:
Before you update the firmware on your controller, please follow these
recommendations:
1) Back up your data. Updating the firmware can render the device driver and/or
management tools incompatible.
2) Make sure you have a copy of the current firmware image so that you can roll
back to it, if required.
3) Close all applications before beginning the update of the firmware.
fw=filename_with_path attribute allows you to specify the firmware image
file name along with its absolute path.
Note:
filename_with_path must not have spaces in the directory names of its
path (as Windows allows).
The new image specified by this filename_with_path is checked for
compatibility with the current controller, current driver, and current
application versions. A recommendation is then made as to whether an update
is needed, and you are asked to confirm whether you want to continue. If you
confirm that you want to continue, the new firmware image is downloaded to
the specified controller.
A reboot is required for the new firmware image to take effect.
Note:
The prom image number will vary for different controllers. Prom0006 is for
the 9650SE and prom0008 is for the 9690SA.
Example:
//localhost> /c0 update fw=/tmp/prom0006.img
