Compaq Infortrend Manuale Utente

The RAID controller’s firmware resides in flash memory that can
be updated through the COM port, LAN port, or via In-band SCSI.
New releases of firmware are available in the form of a DOS file in
the "pub" directory of Infortrend’s FTP site or on a 3.5" diskette.
The file available at the FTP site is usually a self-extracting file that
contains the following:

FW30Dxyz Firmware Binary (where "xyz" refers to the firmware

version)

B30Buvw

Boot Record Binary (where "uvw" refers to the boot
record version)

Read this file first before upgrading the
firmware/boot record.  It contains the most up-

the firmware upgrade and usage.

These files must be extracted from the compressed file and copied

Host I/Os will not be interrupted during the download process.

When download is performed on a dual-controller system,
firmware is flashed onto both controllers without interrupting host
I/Os.  After the download process is completed, the Primary
controller will reset and let the Secondary take over the service
temporarily.  When the Primary comes back on-line, the Secondary
