Appendix 10: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility for DOS
47
The default value 0 indicates that there are multiple SATA/SAS controllers in the system,
and the values can be modified whenever needed.
/C 0 specifies that there is a single SATA/SAS controller ID, for example:
/C 0
/C 0, 2 specifies that there are multiple IDs separated by commas, for example:
/C 0,2
ALL represents that there are all SATA/SAS controllers.
Note:
If you are using multiple
SATA/SAS
controllers, specify the controller by using the /C
switch; otherwise the AFU displays an error message and the application is closed. You cannot
select ALL SATA/SAS controllers when you define SAVE.
/D <
UFI File Path
> specifies the path (drive and directory) where the UFI files are located.
If you do not specify the /D switch, the AFU tries to search and create the UFI files in the
default location.
Note:
The path of the UFI file must be specified in the default location. The UFI filenames are
predefined, based on the
SATA/SAS
controller type.
Examples
The below example indicates that the AFU saves the flash contents from Controller 0 to a UFI
file in the current default drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
The below example shows that the AFU saves the flash contents from Controller 1 to a UFI file
in C:\UFI_FILES.
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 1 /D C:\UFI_FILES
UPDATE
The
UPDATE
command updates a SATA/SAS controller’s flash components from the flash image
data in to the controller. The
UPDATE
command is used to update a single SATA/SAS controller’s
flash components or multiple SATA/SAS controllers.
You must restart the computer following an
UPDATE
command.
Command Syntax
The command syntax for the
UPDATE
command is as follows:
AFU UPDATE [/C<
Controller ID
>] [/D <
UFI File Path
>]
Command Switches
For details on the /C and /D switches, see
SAVE
on page 46
.
Examples
The following example shows a typical system response after an update has been performed:
A:\> AFU UPDATE /C 0
