Appendix 10: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility for DOS ● 47
The default value 0 indicates that there are multiple SATA/SAS controllers in the system,
and the values can be modified whenever needed.
● /C 0 specifies that there is a single SATA/SAS controller ID, for example: /C 0
● /C 0, 2 specifies that there are multiple IDs separated by commas, for example: /C 0,2
● ALL represents that there are all SATA/SAS controllers.
Note:
If you are using multiple SATA/SAS controllers, specify the controller by using the /C
switch; otherwise the AFU displays an error message and the application is closed. You cannot
select ALL SATA/SAS controllers when you define SAVE.
● /D <UFI File Path> specifies the path (drive and directory) where the UFI files are located.
If you do not specify the /D switch, the AFU tries to search and create the UFI files in the
default location.
Note:
The path of the UFI file must be specified in the default location. The UFI filenames are
predefined, based on the
SATA/SAS controller type.
Examples
The below example indicates that the AFU saves the flash contents from Controller 0 to a UFI
file in the current default drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
The below example shows that the AFU saves the flash contents from Controller 1 to a UFI file
in C:\UFI_FILES.
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 1 /D C:\UFI_FILES
UPDATE
The
UPDATE command updates a SATA/SAS controller’s flash components from the flash image
data in to the controller. The
UPDATE command is used to update a single SATA/SAS controller’s
flash components or multiple SATA/SAS controllers.
You must restart the computer following an
UPDATE command.
Command Syntax
The command syntax for the
UPDATE command is as follows:
AFU UPDATE [/C< Controller ID >] [/D < UFI File Path >]
Command Switches
For details on the /C and /D switches, see SAVE on page 46.
Examples
The following example shows a typical system response after an update has been performed:
A:\> AFU UPDATE /C 0
