The supermicro support sent ma a link to a zip file which contains two
exes a bat and a bin file:
ftp://ftp.supermicro.nl/driver/SAS/Marvell/MV8/SAS1/Firmware/3.1.0.21/
Firmware_3.1.0.21.zip
It contains
6480.bin
dos4gw.exe
mvf.exe
smc.bat
smc.bat contains
mvf 6480.bin –y
So I suppose I have to create a USB stick that boots DOS and then run one
of the command. But which one. Maybe smc.bat but what is dos4gw.exe for?
Do you remember how you updated the firmware?
Best regards
Ramon
