Embodiment 1

[0027] 1. Install the issdcm tool under the linux64-bit system, and install rpm–ivh issdcm. First use issdcm–drive_list to view the recognized disk. 2. Use the issdcm–drive_index X–firmware_update XXX.bin command to upgrade the FW. X is the code after the index in the list, and XXX.bin at the end is the specific FW firmware to be upgraded. This refresh method is applicable to SATA SSD\M. 2SSD\PCIE NVME SSD\U.2 NVME SSD\PCIE M.2 NVME SSD. 3. The display screen will automatically display "successful" or "fail" at this time, and restart after displaying "successful".

Embodiment 2

[0029] 1. Use fdisk–l to view the recognized disk under the system. Generally, sda is the system disk. Make sure the drive letter to be upgraded, such as / dev / sdb. 2. Run the flash.sh tool and use the sh flash.sh / dev / sdb XXX.bin command to upgrade the FW of the hard disk. This refresh method is applicable to SATA SSD\M.2 SSD. 3. After the upgrade is complete, check that the displayed FW version is the required version. You need to use the smartctl–a / dev / sdX command to see if the displayed FW is the new FW name. If the displayed name is the same as the new FW, it means that the refresh is successful. If it is the same as If there is no change before the refresh, it means the refresh failed.

Embodiment 3

[0031] 1. Under the Linux system, decompress the hdparm package, tar–xvf hdparm-9.37.tar.gz, install with make&makeinstall, and use fdisk–l to view the disk recognized under the system. Generally, sda is the system disk, and determine the drive letter to be upgraded. For example / dev / sdX. 2. Use the following command to upgrade the FW of the hard disk: hdparm--fwdownload XXX.bin--yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing--please-destroy-my-drive / dev / sdX, the refresh command is applicable For SATA SSD\SAS SSD. 3. After the upgrade is displayed, use smartctl–a / dev / sdX to check whether the FW version is upgraded successfully.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for upgrading SSD FW under linux. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps that 1, a firmware hard disc to be refreshed is searched under an OS; 2, the drive of the firmware hard disc to be refreshed is viewed; 3, the firmware hard disc to be refreshed and a refreshing tool package are placed in the same path folder, a script file of the refreshing tool package is operated, the firmware hard disc to be refreshed judges whether a refreshing instruction or a firmware hard disc information viewing instruction needs to be carried out, if the refreshing instruction needs to be carried out, the firmware hard disc to be refreshed is refreshed based on the script file information, and if the firmware hard disc information viewing instruction needs to be carried out, the firmware hard disc information is output on a display terminal; 4, whether or not refreshing of the firmware hard disc to be refreshed succeeds is judged, and the refreshing result information is output on the display terminal. According to the method, a client or an industrial worker can complete upgrading operation through simple instructions even in the condition of a limited linux language, labor can be saved, the demands of a test and the client can be met more efficiently, and diversification of a product can be satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server refreshing, in particular to a method for upgrading SSD FW under linux. Background technique [0002] The server market has covered various fields, and customers have higher and higher requirements for hard disks. How can server product providers meet the diverse needs of users while ensuring the stability and reliability of various application environments is a problem that technicians must face and consider . This requires a comprehensive functional, stability and performance test and verification of the use of the hard disk on the server, so as to ensure the quality of the product. [0003] FW (English full name: Firmware, Chinese: Firmware) The firmware version is an aspect that affects the performance of the hard disk. A brand new FW is the optimization and improvement of the previous hard disk FW, which may make up for the bugs in the previous FW or the performance is not good enough. , it ...
