Common Questions About Flashing Firmware

Question

After I update firmware on my SAS HBA, why doesn't the version string change

 

in the menu?

Answer

The firmware you just flashed on the HBA does not run until a diagnostic reset

 

occurs. If you exit the utility and reenter it, the version string is updated.

Question

This image does not contain a valid nvdata when I try to flash the firmware, why?

Answer

You are expected to concatenate a proper nvdata image on to the firmware.

 

MPTUTIL keeps you from flashing an image without one. To concatenate nvdata

 

and firmware you need to run the mptutil -o-d

 

64it__l.fw,sas106x.dat,output.fw command. .

 

• 64it__l.fw is the firmware image without a nvdata image

 

• sas106x.dat is the nvdata image. This file depends on the type/rev of HBA

 

on which the firmware is used

 

• output.fw is the name of the file created with the firmware and nvdata

 

concatenated. This concatenated image can be used for all boards of this type

 

or revision.

Question

How do I program multiple cards in a system from the command line?

Answer

MPTUTIL (EFI) does not support this.

Question

Can I program a new flash and option ROM in the same command line argument?

Answer

Yes. Run the mptutil -f <firmware_name> -b <option_rom_name>

 

command.
