controller_number
is the number of the controller whose firmware you are
updating. For example, to upgrade Controller 0, type:
afu update /C 0
b
Updating the Flash on Multiple Controllers
—To flash the firmware on multiple
HostRAID controllers, type:
afu update /C <
controller_number_a
>,<
controller_number_b
>
Where
<
controller_number_a
>
and
<
controller_number_b
