Using FTP to download logs and update firmware

It typically takes several minutes for the firmware to load. Wait for progress messages to specify that the

update has succeeded.

CAUTION:

Do not power cycle enclosures or restart a controller during the firmware update. If the

update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the disk might become inoperative. If this occurs,

contact technical support.

NOTE:

If the update fails, verify that you specified the correct firmware file and try the update a

second time. If it fails again, contact technical support.

If you are updating specific disks, repeat

step 4

for each remaining disk to update.

Quit the FTP session.

If the updated disks must be power cycled:

Shut down both controllers by using SMU.

Power cycle all enclosures as described in your product’s user guide.

NOTE:

If you loaded firmware to a Seagate 750-Gbyte Barracuda ES SATA drive, after spin-up it

will be busy for about 50 seconds completing its upgrade. Then it will be ready for host I/O.

In SMU, verify that each disk has the correct firmware revision.

Installing a license file

Ensure that the license file is saved to a network location that the storage system can access.

Open a Command Prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX) and navigate to the directory

containing the firmware file to load.

ftp

controller-network-address

For example:

ftp 10.1.0.9

Enter:

put

license-file

license

For example:

put certificate.txt license

A message confirms whether installation succeeded or failed. If installation succeeds, licensing

changes take effect immediately.
