Update my 3ware 9650SE firmware + driver + software

Submitted by hswong3i on Wed, 2009/08/05 - 15:10

I just figure out that 3ware had a new release of firmware and tools for my 9650SE RAID controller. BTW, as Debian unofficial APT is now legacy without update, I search for package original author webiste: http://jonas.genannt.name/

P.S. According to release note, need to upgrade driver and software BEFORE (prior) upgrade the firmware:

Important: Older drivers and software are not compatible with this release
Drivers and software released prior to 9.5.2 are not fully compatible with the firmware in
this release. Please upgrade to a 3ware driver and software that is 9.5.2 (or newer) prior
to updating the firmware on your 9690SA and/or 9650SE controllers.

Upgrade driver and software

Just simply add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://jonas.genannt.name/debian lenny restricted

And import key with:

wget -O - http://jonas.genannt.name/debian/jonas_genannt.pub | apt-key add -

Run aptitude, update package list, search package and install/upgrade. Done :D

Upgrade firmware

Download the firmware from the following link:
