Instructions On Using The Downloader: ------------------------------------- **************************************************************************** * WARNING * - do not disrupt the downloading process * - make sure there are no power failure during the download process * - make sure there are no abnormal activity on the SCSI bus (such * as SCSI bus reset) * * Any disruption during the download process can cause permanent damage to * the device(s). **************************************************************************** 1) Login as root on the system that needs the DVD-ROM firmware upgrade 2) Turn off volume manager: # /etc/init.d/volmgt stop 3) If the CD/DVD is manually mounted, unmount the mounted CD/DVD media: # cd / # umount 4) Change the current working directory to the directory where the patch exists: # cd /tmp/ NOTE: This assumes the patch directory resides in /tmp 5) Familiarize yourself with the optdload command before starting the download process: ######################################### # # optdload man page # ######################################### NAME optdload - Optical device firmware downloader tool. SYNOPSIS optdload [-v] [-l] [-d [ -f ] DESCRIPTION optdload tool provides the ability to download firmware into the Toshiba DVD 1401 optical device. This tool can only be used by super user for the purpose of downloading the more recent microcode. OPTIONS -d The device on to which the firmware need to be downloaded. -f The firmware filename. This should be used in conjunction with -d option, to override the default firmware file associated with the type of the device. A sanity check on the contents of the firmware file will be done before the download is initiated. A CRC checksum is maintained in a database inside this tool to make sure sane contents are downloaded into the device. If no -f option is provided, the default firmware file name is used and the same is expected to be available in the current working directory. -l Provides a mechanism to see the list of downloadable devices available in the system. -v Verbose mode. NOTE The downloader process is very sensitive, hence any disruption during the process of downloading the firmware could result in permanent damage to the device. It is recommended that the user take all precautions so that no SCSI RESET on the same bus or prevent the device from being powered off during the download process. The download process will take approximately five minutes to complete. 6) In the patch directory, type the "optdload" command: # ./optdload The optdload command will take the user through the download process if a downloadable device is present on the system. ######################################### # # Example: Single device upgrade # ######################################### # ./optdload ******************************************* * ANY DISRUPTION DURING THE DOWNLOAD * * PROCESS COULD RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE* * TO DEVICES. * ******************************************* c1t6d0s2 TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1401 1007 06/22/00 Are you sure you want to download firmware to this device (y/n)[y]?y Download in progress... please wait.
