CLI Guide

You can use this command to test the firmware on one physical disk before installing the firmware on all
of the physical disks in a storage array. (Use the Download Storage Array Physical Disk
Firmware command to download firmware on all of the physical disks in the storage array. See
Download Storage Array Physical Disk Firmware.) This command blocks all I/O activity until the download
finishes or fails. The download returns one of the following statuses:
• Successful
• Unsuccessful With Reason
• Never Attempted With Reason.
This command is used to download a firmware image to only one physical disk at a time. If you use this
command in a script, ensure that you use this command only once. If you use this command more than
once, the operation may fail. You can download firmware images to all of the physical disks in a storage
array at one time by using the Download Storage Array Physical Disk Firmware command.
