  5. Quiesce Oracle Flash Accelerator F680 PCIe Card devices.

    Before removing the card, manually quiesce I/O and device usage.

    Caution:

    System hang or data loss. Before updating device firmware, ensure that the device is quiesced and the following events are not occurring:

    • The operating system is not accessing the disk (for example, the system boot disk).

    • An application is not accessing the disk (for example, a database application).

  6. Update the selected Oracle Flash Accelerator F680 PCIe Cards with the specified firmware package.

    The fwupdate command can update firmware for all similar devices in the system utilizing an XML metadata file. This method is called Automatic Mode and is the recommended method for upgrades.

    Note:

    Alternately, if you determine that each device must be updated with a separate fwupdate command, perform the fwupdate Automatic Single Drive method, or the fwupdate Manual method (if an XML metadata file is not available). For CLI command instructions, refer to Oracle Hardware Management Pack documentation.
    1. Verify that an XML metadata file is available for the server.

      An XML metadata file must be included with the firmware update package to use Automatic Mode. Refer to the update package release notes for more information.

    2. To update device firmware on Oracle Flash Accelerator F680 PCIe Cards, type fwupdate update controller -x metadata.xml

      In the following example, controllers c0 and c1 will be upgraded to firmware version 9CV1R410. 

      # fwupdate update controller -x metadata.xml
 The following components will be upgraded as shown:
==========================================================
