DataDirect Networks SFA™ OS 2.1.1.2 Release Notes Revision A2 | 5
Prior to upgrading to 2.1.1.2, please identify your current BMC version and then check these
notes:
1. If you have BMC version 21.54 or older, you must perform a manual BMC firmware
update before you load the SFA OS 2.1.1.2 firmware. Refer to the SFA12K BIOS and
BMC Firmware Update Field Bulletin, 96-00344-001.
2. The automatic update will take as long as 10 minutes. During that time, the SFA12K
controller will be unresponsive and will not show progress.
WARNING: Do NOT interrupt this upgrade process; doing so could damage the
controller.
3. If the BMC version is lower than 21.67, the BMC firmware will be automatically updated.
4. If the BMC version is 21.67 or higher, then the upgrade to SFA OS 2.1.1.2 will skip the
BMC update (and its associated delay).
To identify your current BMC version:
1. View the output from 'SHOW ENCLOSURE' to identify the enclosures representing
your SFA12K-20E chassis.
For example, see Figure 1.
