Updating the Controller Firmware
The LSI Storage Authority software enables you to update the controller firmware.
Note:
LSA does not support downgrading of firmware from one phase to another phase on IT/IR controllers. However, LSA supports downgrading of firmware within the same phase.
For more information, see the LSA Readme that has been provided along with your package.
Note: On VMware ESXi 5.5, VMware ESXi 6.0, and VMware ESXi 6.5 platforms, you cannot update the firmware for IT/IR controllers through LSI Storage Authority due to a limitation with VMware.
To work around this issue:
- Edit
/etc/sfcb/sfcb.cfg
- Add
httpMaxContentLength: 4194304
- Restart the LSA service
/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart
- Now flash the firmware.
Also refer to the LSA Readme that has been provided along with the package for a more detailed information.
Perform the following steps to update the controller firmware.
