Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 2132289.1 : How to update the SAS controller firmware on Exalytics X2-4, X3-4 and X4-4 systems
Applies to:Exalytics In-Memory Machine X3-4 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]Exalytics In-Memory Machine X2-4 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases] Exalytics In-Memory Machine X4-4 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases] x86 64 bit GoalHow to update the SAS controller firmware on Exalytics X2-4, X3-4 and X4-4 systems SolutionTo update the firmware on the SAS controller used in an Exalytics X2-4, X3-4 or X4-4 server the following steps should be followed. First check the controller's current firmware package version using the following MegaCli64 command. [root@exalytics ~]# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpAllInfo -a0 | grep "FW Package"
FW Package Build: 12.12.0-0178 This example shows a controller with firmware package 12.12.0-0178. At this time the latest firmware version available for this controller is 12.12.0-0229 if the system already shows this version applied there is no need for an update. If the current version is below this release then you can proceed to update. Note- The firmware update for this card will require that the server be rebooted. Plan to perform this update when downtime can be scheduled and there will be no activity on the server. When you are ready to perform this update inform all users and shutdown any active applications then proceed with this process. The latest firmware package for the controller can be downloaded from the following Avago support site- http://www.avagotech.com/support/oem/oracle/6gb/sg_x_sas6-r-int-z Navigate to the "Firmware" section of the download page and download the latest firmware package. For firmware package 12.12.0-0229 you should see a download listed as "firmware package 2.130.373-4378" and the download file will be "MR_FW_pkg12.12.0-0229-app2-130-373-4378.zip" Create a directory for the update package and move the MR_FW_pkg12.12.0-0229-app2-130-373-4378.zip file to this directory. Then change to this directory and unpack the files note there will be two .zip files that need to be unpacked. [root@exalytics ~]# mkdir -p /opt/exalytics/firmware/disk_controller
[root@exalytics ~]# cd /opt/exalytics/firmware/disk_controller [root@exalytics disk_controller]# unzip MR_FW_pkg12.12.0-0229-app2-130-373-4378.zip Archive: MR_FW_pkg12.12.0-0229-app2-130-373-4378.zip creating: cqAttachments/ creating: versionChangeSet/ creating: versionChangeSet/pkg_rel/ inflating: versionChangeSet/pkg_rel/10M09_Medusa_pkg.zip [root@exalytics disk_controller]# cd versionChangeSet/pkg_rel [root@exalytics pkg_rel]# unzip 10M09_Medusa_pkg.zip Archive: 10M09_Medusa_pkg.zip creating: CustomImages/ creating: CustomImages/2108V/ inflating: CustomImages/2108V/MR_FW_2108V_4MB.rom inflating: PackageRelease-12.12.0-0229.pdf After unpacking all the files cd to the directory containing the .rom file and the firmware update can be performed using the MegaCli64 -adpfwflash command [root@exalytics pkg_rel]# cd CustomImages/2108V/ Adapter 0: LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i Package version on the controller: 12.12.0-0178 Exit Code: 0x00 When the firmware update is finished reboot the server (the firmware will not be applied fully until a reboot is performed) [root@exalytics 2108V]# reboot
To make sure the firmware update was successful check the firmware version after the system finishes rebooting. The following example shows the output expected after a successful application of firmware package 12.12.0-0229 [root@exalytics ~]# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpAllInfo -a0 | grep "FW Package"
