Compaq Infortrend manual Upgrading Firmware Using In-band SCSI + RAIDWatch Manager

will hand over the workload and then reset itself for the new firmware to take effect. The rolling upgrade is automatically performed by controller firmware and user's intervention is not necessary.

Redundant Controller Firmware Sync-version:

A controller used to replace a failed unit in a dual-controller system is often running a newer release of firmware version. To solve the contention, firmware running on the replacement controller will be downgraded to that running on the surviving controller.

IMPORTANT!

•Allow the downloading process to finish. Do not reset or turn off the computer or the controller while it is downloading the file. Doing so may result in an unrecoverable error that requires the service of the manufacturer.

•While the firmware is new, the boot record that comes with it may be the same version as the one in the controller. If this is the case, there is no need to upgrade the Boot Record Binary.

NOTE:

•Controller serial port COM 2can not be used to download firmware.
