3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller CLI Guide

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.

flush

This command forces the controller to write all cached data to disk for the

specified controller.

update fw=

filename_with_path

[force]

This command is only for 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 3ware website:

http:www.3ware.com/downloads

fw=

filename_with_path

attribute allows you to specify the firmware image

file name along with its absolute path. 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.

Example:

//localhost> /c0 update fw=/tmp/prom0006.img

Warning: We strongly recommend backing up your data before

updating the firmware. Updating the firmware can render the

device driver and/or management tools incompatible. It is

recommended to have a copy of current firmware image for

rollbacks.

Examining compatibility data from firmware image and /c0 ...
