fio-update-iodrive
Description
The fio-update-iodrive utility updates the HP IO Accelerator firmware. This utility scans the PCI-Express
bus for all HP IO Accelerators and updates them all sequentially.
You must detach all IO Accelerator devices before updating the firmware. Detach the device from the system
using the fio-detach utility. See "fio-detach (on page
)" for more information.
To update one or more specific drives (rather than all drives):
•
Make sure the IO Accelerator driver is loaded.
•
Use the -d or -s option.
CAUTION:
Do not turn off the power during a firmware upgrade, because this might cause
device failure. If a UPS is not in place, consider adding one to the system before performing a
firmware upgrade.
CAUTION:
Note that when running multiple upgrades in sequence (such as going from driver
version 1.2.7 to 2.1.0 to 2.3.1), it is important to load the IO Accelerator driver after each
firmware upgrade step. Otherwise the on-drive format will not be changed, and there will be data
loss.
CAUTION:
Do not use this utility to downgrade the IO Accelerator to an earlier version of the
firmware. Doing so might result in data loss. If you need to downgrade your firmware, contact HP
customer support. For more information, see "Technical support."
NOTE:
If you receive an error message when updating the firmware instructing you to update the
midprom information, contact Customer Support. For more information, see "Technical support."
The default action (without using the -d or -s option) is to upgrade all IO Accelerators with the firmware
contained in the <iodrive_version.fff> file. Confirm that all devices need the upgrade prior to
running the update. If in doubt, use the -p (Pretend) option to view the possible results of the update.
Syntax
fio-update-iodrive <iodrive_version.fff> [options]
where <iodrive_version.fff> is the path and firmware archive file provided by HP. This is typically
C:\Program Files\HP IO Accelerator\Firmware. This parameter is required.
Option
Description
-d
Updates the specified devices (by fctx, where x is the number of the device shown in
fio-status). If this option is not specified, all devices are updated.
