Controller Object Commands

/c x commit
This command only applies to the Windows operating system. It commits all
changes if a faster shutdown method is needed when running certain database
applications. Linux and FreeBSD file systems do not require this command
since they have their own ways of notifying the controller to do clean up for
shut down.
/c x flush
This command forces the controller to write all cached data to disk for the
specified controller.
/c x update fw= filename_with_path [force]
This command is only for 9750 and 9000 series controllers.
This command allows the downloading of the specified firmware image to the
corresponding controller.
Note: Before issuing this command, you must have already obtained the
firmware image and placed it on your system. You can obtain the firmware
image from the LSI website:
http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads .
fw=filename_with_path attribute allows you to specify the firmware image
file name along with its absolute path.
Note: filename_with_path must not have spaces in the directory names of its
path (as Windows allows).
The new image specified by this filename_with_path is checked for
compatibility with the current controller, current driver, and current
application versions. A recommendation is then made as to whether an update
is needed, and you are asked to confirm whether you want to continue. If you
confirm that you want to continue, the new firmware image is downloaded to
the specified controller.
A reboot is required for the new firmware image to take effect.
Important: Before you update the firmware on your controller, please follow these
recommendations:
1) Back up your data. Updating the firmware can render the device driver and/or
management tools incompatible.
2) Make sure you have a copy of the current firmware image so that you can roll
back to it, if required.
3) Close all applications before beginning the update of the firmware.
