A-2 Upgrading Firmware Through McRAID Storage Manager
Get the new version firmware for your SAS RAID controller. For
example, download the bin file from your OEM’s web site onto the C:
drive.
1. To upgrade the 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller firmware, move the
mouse cursor to “Upgrade Firmware” link. The “Upgrade The
Raid System Firmware or Boot Rom” screen appears.
2. Click on "Browse". Look in the location to which the Firmware
upgrade software was downloaded. Select the file name and click
on “Open”.
3. Tick on “Confirm The Operation” and press the “Submit” button.
4. The web browser begins to download the firmware binary to the
controller and start to update the flash ROM.
5. After the firmware upgrade is complete, a bar indicator will show
“Firmware Has Been Updated Successfully”.
6. After the new firmware package completes downloading, find a
chance to restart the controller/computer for the new firmware
to take effect.
The web browser-based McRAID storage manager can be accessed
through the in-band PCIe bus or out-of-band LAN port. The in-
band method uses the ArcHTTP proxy server to launch the McRAID
storage manager. The out-of-band method allows local or remote
to access the McRAID storage manager from any standard internet
browser via a LAN or WAN with no software or patches required.
