15.2.3 Upgrade the Firmware Binary Only
1. Connect to the RAID system locally or from a remote computer using RAIDWatch Man-
ager. While connected to the RAID system, there will be icon(s) with IP address specified
on the left of the menu screen. Select by double-clicking the icon of the RAID subsystem
which firmware is to be upgraded. Select the “Configuration Parameters” icon and then
select the “System” tab. Single-click the “Download FW” check circle. Click the Apply
button to proceed. A message prompt should display. Click Yes and then a file location
prompt will appear.
2. Provide the firmware filename to the RAIDWatch Manager. It will start to download the
firmware to RAID controller.
3. Shutdown the application server(s) or application(s) which are accessing the RAID, then
reset the controller in order to use the new downloaded firmware.
15.3 Upgrading Firmware Using RS-232C Terminal Emulation
The firmware can be downloaded to the RAID controller/subsystem by using an ANSI/VT-100
compatible terminal emulation program. Whichever terminal emulation program is used must
support the ZMODEM file transfer protocol. The following example uses the HyperTerminal in
Windows NT
®
. Other terminal emulation programs (e.g., Telix and PROCOMM Plus) can per-
form the firmware upgrade as well.
15.3.1 Establishing the connection for the RS-232C Terminal Emulation
Please refer to Section 3 Accessing the Array: Serial Port, Ethernet, and Access Security.
15.3.2 Upgrading Both Boot Record and Firmware Binaries
Fig. 15.1 Upgrading Boot Record and Firmware Binaries Using Hyper Terminal Screen
1. From the Main Menu, scroll down to "System Functions."
2. Go to "Controller Maintenance."
3. Choose "Advanced Maintenance."
4. Select "Download Boot Record and Firmware."
5. Set ZMODEM as the file transfer protocol of your terminal emulation software.
6. Send the Boot Record Binary to the controller. In HyperTerminal, go to the "Transfer"
menu and choose "Send file." If you are not using Hyper Terminal, choose "Upload" or
"Send" (depending on the software).
7. After the Boot Record has been downloaded, send the Firmware Binary to the controller.
In HyperTerminal, go to the "Transfer" menu and choose "Send file." If you are not using
Hyper Terminal, choose "Upload" or "Send" (depending on the software).
8. When the Firmware completes downloading, the controller will automatically reset itself.
For a newer version of firmware, you need to manually reset the subsystem/controller for
the new firmware to take effect.
