How to Upgrade HBA Firmware
Host bus adapters control internal or external disks connected to the server. SIA has the
capability to upgrade supported HBAs to allow for fixes and enhancements to HBA firmware
code.
Caution –
Though the upgrade of HBA firmware should not be destructive to connected storage,
Sun recommends doing a full backup of HBA connected storage before performing the
upgrade.
Note –
SIA can perform firmware upgrades only. It cannot downgrade firmware.
You should have already started SIA and prepared it for tasks as described in
Preparing for Deployment or Recovery Tasks”on page 15
and the Task Selection dialog should
be displayed.
Note –
The instructions below assume local CD/DVD drive access. Be sure to modify the
instructions accordingly if you are using a local USB flash drive prepared with SIA software, or
if you are running SIA from a remote console (or KVMS) with CD-ROM redirection.
Select the HBA Firmware Upgrade task, and then click Next.
