To Update Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe Card Firmware, Install RA11 Before Updating to RA12 or RA13

If your Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe Cards have firmware RA10 or lower, you must update to RA11 before you update to RA12 or RA13. The 8DV1RA13.bin package includes two firmware files, RA11 and RA13, and associated metadata.xml files that automate the update process. RA11 is bridge firmware to get to RA12 or RA13. RA13 includes a critical fix where the device might assert at initial power-on. All supported platforms should upgrade to RA13 at earliest convenience.

Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe Cards do not support firmware versions lower than RA10.

Workaround:

  • If your Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe Cards have RA10 or lower, you must upgrade to RA11 before upgrading to RA12 or RA13.

  • If your Oracle Flash Accelerator F160 PCIe Cards have RA11 or RA12, you can upgrade directly to RA13.
