/c
x
commit
This command only applies to the Windows operating system. It commits all
changes if a faster shutdown method is needed when running certain database
applications. Linux and FreeBSD file systems do not require this command
since they have their own ways of notifying the controller to do clean up for
shut down.
/c
x
flush
This command forces the controller to write all cached data to disk for the
specified controller.
/c
x
update fw=
filename_with_path
[force]
This command is only for 9000 series controllers.
This command allows the downloading of the specified firmware image to the
corresponding controller.
Note: Before issuing this command, you must have already obtained the
firmware image and placed it on your system. You can obtain the firmware
image from the 3ware website: http:www.3ware.com/downloads.
fw=filename_with_path attribute allows you to specify the firmware image
file name along with its absolute path. The new image specified by this
filename_with_path is checked for compatibility with the current controller,
current driver, and current application versions. A recommendation is then
made as to whether an update is needed, and you are asked to confirm whether
you want to continue. If you confirm that you want to continue, the new
firmware image is downloaded to the specified controller.
A reboot is required for the new firmware image to take effect.
Example:
//localhost> /c0 update fw=/tmp/prom0006.img
Warning: We strongly recommend backing up your data before
updating the firmware. Updating the firmware can render the
device driver and/or management tools incompatible. It is
recommended to have a copy of current firmware image for
rollbacks.
