O Module Firmware 0147 Release Notes

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:
