Embodiment 1

[0021] The method of automatically refreshing the FW of the LSI RAID card is to upgrade the FW of the disk array card by automatically running the program under DOS through the LSI MegaCli command line tool and the PCIE expansion board.

[0022] The method steps of described automatic refreshing LSI RAID card FW are as follows:

[0023] The LSI MegaCli command line tool supports the command line operation of the RAID card under the three environments of DOS\Linux\Windows. It supports using the command line to first identify the type of the RAID card, and then call the corresponding FW version to refresh, and then confirm whether the refresh is completed. RAID FW refresh is automatic; then edit the RAID card FW refresh command and other FW refresh commands under DOS into the runnable script to realize the automatic refresh of each test item in the debugging station.

[0024] The LSI MegaCli command line tool performs automatic refresh command parameters with the following meani...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for automatically refreshing FW of an LSI RAID card. According to the method, FW upgrading is carried out on a disk array card under a DOS through automatic operation of a form by means of an LSI MegaCli command line tool and a PCIE expansion board. Compared with the prior art, the method for automatically refreshing the FW of the LSI RAID card has the advantages of being wide in application range and capable of improving the refreshing efficiency, achieving refreshing automation and reducing the production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server hardware, in particular to a method for automatically refreshing the FW of an LSI RAID card. Background technique [0002] LSI 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 market, but with the rapid development of computer applications, RAID technology has penetrated into many fields. SAS cards and RAID cards are widely used in servers and storage products. Since the FW of SAS cards and RAID cards needs to be upgraded irregularly, they must be updated synchronously during the production process. At present, the production line is manually refreshed after the server is turned on, which is inefficient. [0003] Published related patent documents: titled "A Method for Automatically Refreshing RAID Card Drivers by Servers in Batches", ...
