ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
8.0 Updating Firmware
Engineers, technicians and/or system administrators/integrators may update the firmware of the
Diamond-VT using the Command Line Interface (CLI) (See
Accessing the Diamond-VT on page 15) via the
RS-232 serial port or the optional Ethernet management services card.
Updating firmware via the RS-232 serial port
To update the firmware via a connection to the
RS-232 serial port, you will need
• a host computer with a terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal in Windows
• binary information file (“...”.ima) available from
technical support or on our website (see
Warranty on page A-xv)
• a null modem serial cable with a DB-9 connector
1 Connect to Diamond-VT services via the RS-
232 port (see
Accessing the Diamond-VT on page
15). You should now be in the Command Line
Interface mode.
2 Copy the latest Diamond-VT image file
(“...”.ima) onto the host computer.
3 Type ZModem Receive at the Ready prompt.
The terminal program on the host should be in
Zmodem only mode, with no other parameters.
The Diamond-VT will display information that it
is preparing to receive a file from your terminal
program.
4 On the terminal program, choose Transfer
Send File
5 In the Send File box, enter the current
Diamond flash (“...”.ima) filename or click the
browse button to find it.
6 Click Send File
7 The Diamond should acknowledge receiving
the file and display a message not to interrupt
power for 90 seconds.
8 If upgrading the firmware from versions older
than 2.5.3, follow the procedures outlined in
Resetting Defaults on page 63.
9 When the flash procedure is complete, cycle
power on the Diamond-VT.
Updating firmware via the optional Ethernet card
To update the firmware via the optional Ethernet
management services card, you will need
• the optional Ethernet management services
card installed in your Diamond-VT
• a host computer with a network card or a
network-connected device such as a hub
• binary information file (“...”.ima) available from
technical support or on our website (see
Warranty on page A-xv)
• a crossover network cable for a direct connect or
standard network cable if attached to a network
device
• a valid IP address
1 To connect to the Ethernet and set up your host
computer, refer to
Ethernet Access: Telnet and
SNMP Protocols on page 21.
Note
The host computer must have appropriate
network settings to allow it to communicate
with the Diamond-VT. Please see your system
administrator for more information.
2 Turn on the Diamond-VT.
CAUTION CAUTION
Do not interrupt the flash process. If the
process is interrupted, the Diamond-VT
will become inoperable and will have to
be returned to the factory for repair.
Do not turn off the Diamond-VT until the
display returns the Ready prompt.
