Installation instructions for server-connect environments The following methods can be used to install new firmware in server-connect environments, such as when the D2600 or D2700 disk enclosure is connected to a Smart Array controller installed in the server: • "Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments" (page 5) • "Installing firmware using Smart Components in Linux environments" (page 5) • "Special installation procedures for single-domain environments" (page 5) Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments Firmware is embedded in the downloaded file, which is a self-extracting, executable module. Execution procedures differ by operating system. IMPORTANT: Firmware updates must be performed during a system maintenance window; halt all I/O to the system. NOTE: In dual-domain configurations, both I/O modules of the target disk enclosure and any cascaded disk enclosures are automatically updated during the firmware installation process. This is a self-extracting executable module. Execute this module from the command line console or the Windows graphical user interface. 1. Save the downloaded file in a temporary directory. 2. From the temporary directory, invoke the Smart Component in the command line console or double-click the CPxxxxxx.exe file. (CPxxxxxx.exe represents the downloaded file.) 3. Follow the on-screen instructions. Installing firmware using Smart Components in Linux environments This is a self-extracting executable module. This module operates only from the Linux command line. IMPORTANT: Firmware updates must be performed during a system maintenance window; halt all I/O to the system. NOTE: In dual-domain configurations, both I/O modules of the target disk enclosure and any cascaded disk enclosures are automatically updated during the firmware installation process. 1. Save the downloaded file in a temporary directory. 2. Open a Linux command console. 3. From the temporary directory, enable execute access to this module by entering: chmod +x CPxxxxxx.scexe (Where CPxxxxxx.scexe represents the downloaded file.) 4. Execute the Smart Component by entering: ./CPxxxxxx.scexe 5. Follow the on-screen instructions. Special installation procedures for single-domain environments In a single domain configuration, I/O module A (top module) is connected to a host and I/O module B (bottom module) is unused. Even though the bottom I/O module is unused, both modules must have the same firmware version installed. Do the following to make sure that both I/O modules are updated: Installation instructions 5
