3. Select the SteelVine Storage Reference Design that requires a firmware upgrade.
4. Click the
Browse button next to the Update firmware from file text box, navigate to
the new firmware file you wish to load from a CD or hard disk, and select the desired
firmware image file with a
.bin filename extension.
5. Click
Install Firmware to begin the upgrade process.
Important: Do not install a new firmware image while an active Rebuild operation is underway.
In addition, do not access or power-off the SteelVine Storage Reference Design while installing
the firmware image. The firmware installation process takes less than two minutes to complete.
6. After the firmware download is completed, a confirmation dialog appears directing
you to restart your system. If the SteelVine Storage Processor is part of your system
motherboard, select the “
Shutdown Now” option to shutdown your system, so that
the new firmware will be used upon startup. Otherwise, if the SteelVine Storage
Processor is used in an external enclosure, you should cycle power on that device.
Note: For the first release, the firmware image will only be downloaded to the top-level node of a
cascaded configuration. All nodes within a cascaded configuration must use the same firmware
revision, so any subordinate nodes must be manually upgraded separately.
