Embodiment Construction

[0023] A method to refresh the FW of Mega SAS RAID cards in batches, setting the RAID card on the expansion board of the PCIE device, installing the PCIE expansion board in the refresh machine, and upgrading the FW of multiple RAID cards through the LSI MegaCli command line tool,

[0024] The specific steps are:

[0025] Set the RAID card to be refreshed on the expansion board of the PCIE device,

[0026] Install the MegaCli tool on the refresh machine,

[0027] Install the PCIE expansion board in the refresh machine,

[0028] Start to enter the DOS command line environment, and use the LSI MegaCli command line tool to refresh in batches.

[0029] According to the above method and the content of the invention, the present invention will be further described.

[0030] Using the method of the present invention, install the RAID card that needs to be upgraded to the IO module of the refresh machine, such as the basic IO module of the refresh machine supports two slots of PCIE ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for batch refreshing of FW (Firmware) of Mega SAS RAID cards, and belongs to the technical field of firmware upgrading. According to the method, the RAID cards are arranged on an expansion board of a PCIE device; the PCIE expansion board is mounted in a refreshing machine; the RAID cards are subjected to FW upgrading through a LSI MegaCli command line tool; and a plurality of disk array cards are subjected to FW upgrading simultaneously through the LSI MegaCli command line tool and the PCIE expansion board, so that the situation that only one RAID card can be subjected to FW upgrading originally at present is replaced, the refreshing efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a method for refreshing Mega SAS RAID card FW in batches, and belongs to the technical field of firmware upgrading. Background technique [0002] Firmware, Firmware, referred to as FW, is a program written into EROM, erasable read-only memory or EEPROM, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. Refers to the device "driver" stored inside the device. Through the firmware, the operating system can implement the operation of a specific machine according to the standard device driver. For example, CD-ROM drives and recorders have internal firmware. Some hardware devices have no other software except firmware, so the firmware also determines the function and performance of the hardware device. [0003] LSI Mega SAS RAID card has been widely used by various server manufacturers at home and abroad for its superior data read and write performance and solid hardware stability. RAID was originally used in the high-end server ...
