Abstract
An out-of-band updating method and system of an Expander, applied to a controller connected to the expander by means of a communication bus. The method comprises: receiving firmware updating data sent by a user (S); fragmenting the firmware updating data (S); and only when determining that the expander is in an idle state, sending the fragmented data until each piece of data is sent to the Expander, such that the expander completely receiving the firmware updating data completes updating by restarting (S). The data transmission speed is facilitated to be improved, the normal operation of a service is ensured, and the conditions of influencing state monitoring and log loss are avoided.
