Chapter 9 – System Maintenance

Texas Memory Systems designed the RamSan to be easily maintainable. You can

update firmware from the web interface and easily maintain the system components.
One of the main features of the RamSan is the ability to hot swap many of the

system components. You can hot swap the power supplies and disk drives, meaning
that you can remove and replace these components while the system is running.

9.1 Updating System Firmware

Occasionally, Texas Memory Systems releases new versions of firmware
for the RamSan. For customers with multiple RamSans, the TeraWatch
User’s Guide
demonstrates how to update the firmware of all systems

simultaneously.

Important:

Before patching your RamSan, please review the README file associated

with the patch. It contains detailed information about the functionality
updated, system downtime required for patching and recommended
backup procedures.
