Updating controller and enclosure software
The ROM Update wizard guides you through the process of updating the software for your direct attached storage and iSCSI storage
devices:
- For direct attached storage devices, the wizard
updates the BIOS software for all controllers of the same type on the local and managed systems.
You can update only one type of controller at a time.
-
For iSCSI storage devices, the wizard
updates the enclosure and controller software for all controllers in the enclosure (single or dual controller configurations).
Before you can use the ROM update wizard, you must download the latest software images from your vendor's software
support site on the World Wide Web. For direct attached storage devices, the image upgrade files typically come in sets of
two or more and have a .ufi
file extension. For external storage enclosures, the (single) image upgrade file
has a .upgrade
file extension.
To update the controller software for direct attached storage or iSCSI storage devices:
- In the Enterprise view, click
(direct attached storage object) or
(iSCSI storage object)
- Right-click Update controller images. The ROM Update wizard opens.
- Click Next.
- Choose the ROM image update files.
- Click Next; then, select the controllers or enclosures you want to update.
- Click Next; then, review the update summary.
- Click Apply. The Adaptec Storage Manager applies the software update to the selected controllers or enclosures.
- Restart the server(s) or enclosures to activate the new ROM image.
