The web browser-based McRAID storage manager can be accessed
through the in-band Thunderbolt port 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.
Controller with onboard LAN port, you can directly plug an Ethernet
cable to the controller LAN port. After network connected, you can
find the current IP address in the LCD panel.
From a remote pc, you can directly open a web browser and enter
the IP address. Then enter user name and password to login and
start your management. You can find the firmware update feature
from the "Upgrade Firmware" option on the "System Controls".
A-3 Upgrading Firmware Through CLI
This Command Line Interface (CLI) provides you to configure and
manage the RAID storage components in Mac and Windows en-
vironment. The CLI is useful in environments where a graphical
user interface (GUI) is not available. Through the CLI, you perform
firmware upgrade that you can perform with the McRAID storage
manager GUI. The controller has added protocol on the firmware
for user to update the controller firmware package (BIOS, BOOT,
FIRM and MBR0) through the CLI utility.
To update the controller firmware, follow the procedure below:
Parameter:<path=<PATH_OF_FIRMWARE_FILE>>
Fn: Firmware Updating.
Ex: Update Firmware And File Path Is In [C:\FW\ARC8050FIRM.BIN.]
Command: sys updatefw path=c:\fw\arc8050firm.bin [Enter]
