Installing the NVMe SSD Driver

• For details about how to install the ES3000 V5 SSD driver, see "Installing the Driver" in ES3000 V5 NVMe PCIe SSD User Guide.
• For details about how to install the hioadm NVMe card management tool, see "Installing the Tool Package" in ES3000 V5 NVMe PCIe SSD User Guide.

If only the ES3000 V5 NVMe PCIe SSDs are used, you can use the built-in NVMe driver of the operating system. You do not need to install the Huawei NVMe driver.

Command:

hioadm updatefw -d <device>

In the command, device indicates the name of the SSD device to be queried. In the following example, it is nvme0n1.

Example:

1

hioadm updatefw -d nvme0n1

If the version does not meet the requirement, perform 3 to upgrade the firmware version. Otherwise, skip the following step.

1. Log in to the Huawei technical support website and search for ES3000 V5.

   

2. Click the Software Download tab and select the planned firmware version package. (The latest firmware version package is recommended and is used as an example.)

   

3. Select the firmware upgrade package and download it.

   

4. Upload the firmware upgrade package to the /home directory on the server and decompress it.

   1	unzip ES3000_FW_V5_3248_UpdatePkg.zip

   

5. Run the following command in the /home directory to upgrade the NVMe firmware.

   hioadm updatefw -d devicename -f fwimagefile [-s slot] [-a activeflag]

   Table 1 describes the parameters in the command.

   Table 1 Parameter description

   Parameter	Description	Value
   devicename	Name of the SSD device to be upgraded	Example: nvme0
   fwimagefile	Path to the target firmware image file	Example: /home/fw_image.img
   slot	Slot number of the target firmware image	2 or 3 Slot 1 is read-only firmware and cannot be modified. If this parameter is not specified, the device that is not running is upgraded by default. If the device in slot 1 is running, the device in slot 2 will be upgraded by default.
   activeflag	Activation mode of the firmware	0: After the firmware is downloaded, the device activates the new firmware version upon the next device reset. 1: After the firmware is downloaded, the device activates the new firmware version without waiting for the next device reset. NOTE: If you do not set this option, the device automatically activates the new firmware version upon the next reset after the firmware is downloaded. If the downloaded firmware version is the same as the current version in use, the activation status is displayed as current.

   Example:

   1 2	cd /home hioadm updatefw -d nvme0n1 -f ES3000V5_FW_3248.bin -s 1 -a 1

   Type Y and press Enter.

6. Check the firmware version after the upgrade and ensure that the upgrade is successful.

   1	hioadm updatefw -d nvme0n1
