Updating with USB Support
USB support uses the disruptive flash method only. Both RAID controllers and all
JBOD I/O modules are updated at the same time and momentarily go offline
when the RAID subsystem and JBOD unit reboot.
This procedure requires a USB flash device:
• Formatted to FAT 32
• At least 50 MB of free space
Download the latest OPAS_xxxxx.sbb firmware image file from PROMISE
support: http://www.promise.com/support/ and save it the root folder of the USB
flash device.
To update the subsystem firmware using VTrak’s USB Support feature:
1. Insert the USB flash device into one of the USB ports on one of the RAID
controllers.
Figure 1. FC RAID controller LEDs
The controller status LED blinks green in half-second intervals.
2. Wait until the controller activity LED stops blinking green and starts blinking
amber.
3. Within 30 seconds, remove the USB flash device, then insert the USB flash
device back into the same RAID controller.
The remove and insert action confirms that you want to update the firmware.
Important
Verify that no background activities are running on the RAID
subsystem.
Warning
• Do NOT power off the RAID subsystem during the update!
• Do NOT remove your USB flash device until the LED changes
color!
