Run the HCA Firmware Update Script in Interactive Mode
To burn the HCA firmware in interactive mode (which is the default), follow this procedure:
-
Install the Oracle host drivers for Windows.
During installation, the HCA software version is checked.
-
If the script determines that the HCA card is not supported, the script displays an error. Any HCA Device ID other than 25204 or 25218 is considered an unsupported HCA model type. The upgrade script cannot be run against an unsupported HCA. Contact Oracle Technical Support.
-
If the script determines the HCA card is supported, but the card's firmware is less than the minimum supported version, the script displays an error. You can run the upgrade script to update the HCA firmware. Proceed to Step 2.
-
If the script determines that valid HCAs are installed and have a valid firmware version installed, there is no need to run the HCA upgrade script. However, you can still run the script and update the firmware (for example, to load a third-party image file onto the HCA). If you run the update script, proceed to Step 2.
-
- To run the script, start a command prompt by choosing Start→Run....
-
Change directory to:
cd %programfiles%\Xsigo Systems\Support\FirmwareUpdate
-
From the prompt, run the following script by issuing the following
command:
