/cx commit
The /cx commit command applies only to the Windows operating system. It
commits all changes if a faster shutdown method is needed when running
certain database applications. This command has no effect and is not required
with other operating systems such as Linux and FreeBSD.
/cx flush
The /cx flush command forces the controller to write all cached data to disk
for the specified controller.
/cx update fw=filename_with_path [force]
The /cx update command installs the specified firmware image to the
corresponding controller.
Note: Before issuing this command, copy the firmware image to the system
that contains your 3ware controller. You can obtain the firmware image from
the LSI website: http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads.
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.
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.
