3. If you want to update all disks of the type that the firmware applies to, continue with the next step;
otherwise, in SMU, for each disk to update:
a. Determine the enclosure number and slot number of the disk.
b. If the disk is associated with a vdisk and is either SATA or single ported, determine which controller
owns the vdisk.
4. In SMU, prepare to use FTP:
a. Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system's controllers.
b. Verify that the system's FTP service is enabled.
c. Verify that the user you will log in as has permission to use the FTP interface.
5. Stop I/O to the storage system. During the update all volumes will be temporarily inaccessible to hosts.
If I/O is not stopped, mapped hosts will report I/O errors. Volume access is restored after the update
completes.
To update disk firmware
1. Open a Command Prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX) and navigate to the directory
containing the firmware file to load.
2. Enter:
ftp controller-network-address
For example:
ftp 10.1.0.9
3. Log in as an FTP user.
4. Either:
• To update all disks of the type that the firmware applies to, enter:
put firmware-file disk
• To update specific disks, enter:
put firmware-file disk:enclosure-ID:slot-number
For example:
put firmware-file disk:1:11
It typically takes several minutes for the firmware to load. Wait for progress messages to specify that the
update has succeeded.
CAUTION: Do not power cycle enclosures or restart a controller during the firmware update. If the
update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the disk might become inoperative. If this occurs,
contact technical support.
NOTE: If the update fails, verify that you specified the correct firmware file and try the update a
second time. If it fails again, contact technical support.
5. If you are updating specific disks, repeat
6. Quit the FTP session.
7. If the updated disks must be power cycled:
a. Shut down both controllers by using SMU.
b. Power cycle all enclosures as described in your product's user guide.
NOTE: If you loaded firmware to a Seagate 750-Gbyte Barracuda ES SATA drive, after spin-up it
will be busy for about 50 seconds completing its upgrade. Then it will be ready for host I/O.
8. In SMU, verify that each disk has the correct firmware revision.
step 4 for each remaining disk to update.
