To be able to perform mass actions, your plan must be Core, Scale or Enterprise solution.
In Roles → Farm Permissions admins control access by setting permissions for mass and single miner resets to default, ensuring only authorized users can perform these actions. All resets activities are logged. Access them via the logs tab or by selecting "View logs" from the miner's menu.
Before proceeding, ensure the API is activated on your Whatsminer device. Steps to enable the API:
Access the Miner: Use the WhatMinerTool to gain administrative access to the miner.
Change Password: Change the default password from 'admin' to ensure security.
Turn on the API: Locate and turn on the API option in your miner settings.
To mass firmware update via the mass action panel:
Go to Dashboard.
Select miners from a single manufacturer by checking relevant boxes.
Click Update firmware on the mass action panel.
Select only one firmware version. For Antminer, you may also select tabs (Stock / Vnish).
Click Confirm.
If selected devices include unsupported manufacturers:
❌
The system does not support manufacturer firmware upgrades for: [Manufacturer1, Manufacturer2, ...]
To single firmware update:
To update a single miner, click on the three dots next to it, and select "Firmware update" from the dropdown menu. This option allows for individual update without going through the bulk process.
When selecting firmware for your devices, you might encounter terms such as "Stable" and "New." Here's what they mean:
Stable Firmware: This version has undergone extensive testing and is considered reliable for widespread use. It's the recommended choice for environments where system stability is crucial.
New Firmware: This version includes recent updates or features and is suitable for users willing to test the latest enhancements.
Rollback Limitations: Officially, rolling back firmware is often unsupported, meaning once updated, you generally can't revert to a previous version. This is to maintain the integrity and security of the devices.
Testing Before Deployment: It's recommended to test new firmware on a single device first. If critical issues arise, contact support services to explore potential recovery options.
