Upgrading the NVMe Firmware Version

Before deploying a Kbox container, check the NVMe firmware version by checking whether the codec card is correctly identified by the NVMe driver. If the version is earlier than that provided in this section, upgrade the firmware.

1. Check whether the codec card is correctly identified by the NVMe driver.

   If information similar to the following command output example is displayed, the card is correctly identified:

   Node SN Model Namespace Usage Format FW Rev ------------- -------------------- ---------------- --------- ------------------------ ---------------- -------- /dev/nvme0n1 Q2A325A11DC082-0454A QuadraT2A 1 8.59 TB / 8.59 TB 4 KiB + 0 B 4606nrc2 /dev/nvme1n1 Q2A325A11DC082-0454B QuadraT2A 1 8.59 TB / 8.59 TB 4 KiB + 0 B 4606nrc2

   If the firmware version (the FW Rev column) is earlier than 4606nrc2, refer to the following steps to upgrade the encoding card firmware.

2. Optional: Obtain the Quadra_FW_V4.6.0_RC2.tar.gz package and upgrade the firmware.

   tar -zxvf Quadra_FW_V4.6.0_RC2.tar.gz cd Quadra_FW_V4.6.0_RC2/ chmod +x quadra_auto_upgrade.sh ./quadra_auto_upgrade.sh

   The upgrade takes about 1 minute.

3. Optional: After the upgrade is complete, reboot the system for the upgrade to take effect.
