The Adaptec Storage Utilities are a stand-alone set of tools which allow for low-level reporting and maintenance of Adaptec SANbloc and 2U Family RAID and JBODs.

I. 	Where to obtain ASU
	
ASU is available for several operating systems and product lines.  To obtain the latest version of ASU, please refer to the downloads for the specific enclosure type and operating system for the current configuration.


II.	Installing ASU
	
A. 	Windows
	To install ASU in Windows, unzip the downloaded file into a convenient directory (i.e. 	c:\asu.)  No further steps are required.

B.	Linux
	To install ASU in Linux, unzip the downloaded file, then install the resulting RPM.  (rpm –ivh /<path>/<rpm filename>)  After the RPM is installed, the tools are located in /usr/local/ASU/.

C. 	Solaris
	To install ASU in Solaris, unzip the downloaded file, then install the resulting package.  (pkgadd –d /<path>/<package filename>)  After the package is installed, the tools are located in /usr/local/ASU/.


III.	Using asAnalyze

	asAnalze is used to report on the various components of SANbloc and the 2U Family Adaptec products.  asAnalyze will show controllers, LSMs, I/O modules, drives, power supplies, fan modules, and all reportable serial numbers.  This data can be formatted to output to a text file.

General use:
	Windows: asAnalyze.exe –t <type>
	Linux: ./asAnalyze –t <type>
	Solaris: ./asAnalyze –t <type>

	<type> may be:
	ALL      - Analyze all aspects of this system.
	HOST     - Analyze this host system.
	SECURITY - Analyze the Security settings on this system.
	SCSI     - Analyze the SCSI devices attached to this system.
	RESCAN   - Perform a rescan of every SCSI Adapter in this system.
	ENCS     - Print a summary of the enclosures attached to this system.
	RAIDS    - Print a summary of the RAID controllers attached to this system.
	ASSET    - Analyze the asset information for all attached enclosures.
	STATUS   - Print the Status Code of each component for all attached enclosures.
	FFx      - Analyze all FFx-based (SANbloc) subsystems.
	IFT      - Analyze all IFT-based (Maxima) subsystems. (FS4500 RAID controllers)
	FST      - Analyze all FST-based (Impreza) enclosures. (FS4100 JBOD I/O modules)

Capturing output to a text file:
	Windows: echo y | asAnalyze.exe –t all > c:\output.txt
	Linux: echo y | ./asAnalyze –t all > /output.txt
	Solaris: echo y | ./asAnalyze –t all > /output.txt


IV.	Using asFirmware

	asFirmware is used to update the firmware revision of the various upgradeable components (RAID modules, I/O modules, LSM or SES modules.)

General use:
	Windows: asFirmware.exe –t <type> –i <path>\<firmware filename>
	Linux: ./asFirmware –t <type> –i /<path>/<firmware filename>
	Solaris: ./asFirmware –t <type> –i /<path>/<firmware filename>

	<type> may be:
	SB2100_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all SANbloc 2100 enclosures.
	SB2500_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all SANbloc 2500 subsystems.
	SB2500_FFx  - All FFx 1Gb RAID controllers in all SANbloc 2500 subsystems.
	SB2500_FFx2 - All FFx 2Gb RAID controllers in all SANbloc 2500 subsystems.
	UB2100_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all ULTRAbloc 2100 enclosures.
	SC4100_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all Adaptec SC4100 enclosures.
	SC4100_IO   - All SCSI IO Modules in all Adaptec SC4100 enclosures.
	FC4100_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all Adaptec FC4100 enclosures.
	FS4100_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all Adaptec FS4100 (Impreza) enclosures.
	FS4100_FST  - All FST (Impreza) devices in all Adaptec FS4100 enclosures.
	FS4500_ES   - All Enclosure Services devices in all Adaptec FS4500 (Maxima) enclosures.
	FS4500_IFT  - All IFT (Maxima) RAID controllers in all Adaptec FS4500 subsystems.
	ENC_DISK    - The specified Disk Drive(s) in the specified enclosure.

Examples:
To upgrade a 2G SANbloc RAID system to the latest 9.40 firmware:
asFirmware –t SB2500_FFx2 –i c:\635134-07.ima

To upgrade a 1G SANbloc RAID system to the latest 8.21 firmware:
asFirmware –t SB2500_FFx –i c:\63511109.ima

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
