Upgrading firmware from Linux
If you need to upgrade the firmware on an LSI-based HBA, here's how to do it from Linux (without having to create a bootable DOS floppy or CD-ROM image). These instructions assume that your vendor has provided you the firmware update files:
- Firmware, for example: 3008IT14.ROM
- BIOS, for example: mptsas3.rom
- Download the sas3flash utility. I have not found an official download location, but found it here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds102443
root@myserver ~ # wget https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/thinkservers/ul_avago_sas3flash_13.00.00.00_anyos.zip
- Unzip
root@myserver ~ # unzip ul_avago_sas3flash_13.00.00.00_anyos.zip
- Move the static binary to a sane location and make it executable
root@myserver ~ # mv sas3flash/sas3flash_linux_x64_rel/sas3flash /usr/local/bin/ root@myserver ~ # chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sas3flash root@myserver ~ # chown root:root /usr/local/bin/sas3flash
