Microsemi Adaptec ASR-8405E - Running AFU from Command Line

To update a RAID controller's ash using the command line utility ARCCONF, see Updating the Flash Using
the AFU Command Line.
D.4.1 AFU Commands
This section lists the available AFU commands.
D.4.1.1 List
Displays the AFU-supported RAID controllers installed on your computer. Also displays the ID numbers
assigned to each controller.
You don’t have to restart the computer after completing this command.
This example shows a typical system response to a LIST command:
A:\> AFU LIST
Adaptec Flash Utility V4.0-0 B5749 (c)Adaptec Inc. 1999–2005. All
Rights Reserved.
Controllers Detected and Recognized:
Controller #0 (03:05:00) Adaptec RAID 51645
D.4.1.2 Save
Saves the contents of a RAID controller's ash in a UFI le. The name of the UFI le is based on the controller
type and can't be changed.
You must restart the computer following a SAVE command.
The command syntax for the SAVE command is:
AFU SAVE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
These switches are available:
• /C <Controller ID>—One or more RAID controller IDs representing the set of RAID controllers on which
to perform the specied command. The default is 0; if the computer has multiple RAID controllers, the
AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify otherwise.
For example:
To specify a single RAID controller ID: /C 0
To specify multiple IDs separated by commas: /C 0,2
To indicate all RAID controllers:ALL
If you are using multiple RAID controllers, you must specify the controller you want by using the /C
switch; otherwise, the AFU displays an error message and exits.
• /D <UFI File Path>—Species the path where the UFI les are located. If you do not specify the /D
switch, the AFU looks for (or creates) its UFI les in the default location.
You cannot specify the name of a UFI le, only its path. UFI lenames are predened, based on the
RAID controller type.
In this example, the AFU saves ash contents from RAID controller 0 to a UFI le in the current default
drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
In this example, the AFU saves ash contents from Controller 1 to a UFI le in C:\UFI_FILES:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 1 /D C:\UFI_FILES
