Appendix E: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 101
These switches are available:
● /C <Controller ID>—One or more RAID controller IDs representing the set of RAID
controllers on which to perform the specified command. The default is 0; if the computer
has multiple RAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify
otherwise.
For example:
To specify a single RAID controller ID:
/C 0
To specify multiple IDs separated by commas:
/C 0,2
To indicate all RAID controllers:
ALL
If you are using multiple RAID controllers, you must specify the controller you want by
using the /C switch; otherwise, the AFU displays an error message and exits.
● /D <UFI File Path>—Specifies the path where the UFI files are located. If you do not
specify the /D switch, the AFU looks for (or creates) its UFI files in the default location.
You cannot specify the name of a UFI file, only its path. UFI filenames are predefined,
based on the RAID controller type.
In this example, the AFU saves flash contents from RAID controller 0 to a UFI file in the
current default drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
In this example, the AFU saves flash contents from Controller 1 to a UFI file in
C:\UFI_FILES:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 1 /D C:\UFI_FILES
Update
Updates the flash components of one or more RAID controllers on your computer from the
flash image data in a UFI file. You must restart the computer following an UPDATE command.
The command syntax for the UPDATE command is:
AFU UPDATE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
You can also use the /C and /D switches (see Save on page 100).
This example shows a typical system response after an update.
