14 Firmware Update Instructions

The DVAS Series disk array is controlled by firmware that resides in the controller flash memory (ROM). Upgrades to provide improved operation capabilities may be issued by Bosch from time to time, in the form of e-mail or similar means.

The firmware file is downloaded to the DVAS Series disk array via FTP (file transfer protocol), and can be downloaded from any computer that supports FTP, on the same network as the DVAS Series disk array. Microsoft Windows® 98/NT/2000 and Unix systems, for example, support FTP, which is conventionally activated from a command line (MS-DOS window in NT systems). Due to the DVAS Series disk array FTP restrictions, we recommend this method be used for security and memory space reasons.

Downloading does not affect the operation of the DVAS Series disk array, and can be carried out at any convenient time during system operation. It is recommended that the host system be shut down to cease RAID array read/write activity. A DVAS Series disk array restart is required to activate the new firmware. Verify the firmware version by accessing the Information MENU > HARDWARE, via the web user interface.

Before actually beginning the firmware update, READ the following carefully. If these instructions are not followed, the DVAS Series disk array may be rendered unusable and the RAID array will not be available to the host computer system.

DO NOT switch the DVAS Series disk array off during a firmware update process. This will likely render the DVAS Series disk array unusable.

If unsure about the state of the firmware update, wait at least ten minutes (from the start of sending the new firmware), for the update to complete.

Wait five minutes before accessing the event log. Do not continually click the event log link, as it is a large web page that will slow down the firmware update process. It is recommended that you access the event log every 30 seconds or so after the initial five minutes.

DO NOT switch the DVAS Series disk array off until the Microcode Updated OK message is posted at the top of the event log. If the web interface is not accessible, wait at least ten minutes before switching the DVAS Series disk array off.

Here are some example messages from the controller’s event log BEFORE the firmware update completes.

0036: 0055R, 0000-00:10:10: Microcode Updated OK

0037: 0055R, 0000-00:08:08: Microcode extents, Start Addr 0x10000, End Addr 0x148938

0038: 0055R, 0000-00:08:08: Microcode S-record file verified OK

0039: 0055R, 0000-00:08:05: Starting microcode update

Remember - DO NOT switch the DVAS Series disk array off until Microcode Updated OK appears in the event log shown above. The controller event log is stored on disk, so at least one disk must be installed in the DVAS Series disk array for the firmware update to proceed.

Controller Update Procedure

To begin the controller firmware update, first copy the new firmware file from Bosch, onto the machine where you intend to run FTP.

1.In a command line window, go to the directory (folder) where the firmware resides, and type:

ftp <IP address>

When prompted for a user name, type ADMIN in upper case. The password is required (if not changed, the default password is PASSWORD).

2.Now type:

put <filename>

where the filename is the name of the update file supplied by Bosch.

You may have to change the local directory from within FTP if you are not already in the directory of the new firmware file. To do this, use a command such as:

lcd <newfirmwarefilepath>

(local change directory to the location of the new firmware file).
