Installation manual

7 ATTO Technology Inc. ATTO Utilities Installation and Operation Manual
Driver update
A storage controller driver can be installed or
upgraded on a host by going to the
Basic Info tab for
that host, choosing a driver package in the driver
update section and clicking update. The driver
package is the .exe (Windows), .tgz (Linux) or .dmg
(Mac OS X) file available on the ATTO product CD or
downloaded from the ATTO website. If a reboot is
required, the GUI will prompt once the install
completes. If a driver was installed that has no
matching storage controller, the GUI will prompt to
shutdown and install the storage controller.
Note
It is important to keep firmware and drivers
up-to-date for optimal performance. Refer to
the product release notes (PRNs) on the
ATTO web site download page for additional
information.
System Reboot
A host can be rebooted using its Basic info tab. Select
“Restart” and optionally provide a message. The host
will reboot in 30 seconds for Windows or in one minute
for Linux and OS X. The
Message area will be
updated to reflect the fact that the host has a
scheduled reboot and display the time the reboot will
occur.
Once a reboot is scheduled, another reboot cannot be
scheduled. On Linux and OS X, pressing the
Refresh
button detects any scheduled reboot and displays the
reboot information on the
Basic Info tab. On Windows
systems there is no way to detect a scheduled reboot.
If the GUI Application attempts to schedule a reboot
and there is already one scheduled, the GUI
Application will display an error status and the GUI
Application is now aware that a scheduled reboot is
active. A scheduled reboot can be cancelled using the
Cancel button.
The host that is scheduled to reboot displays on its
console a pop-up message that indicates the system
will be rebooting. The format of the pop-up message is
dependent upon the operating system.
