You must perform an enable operation to bring the controller back online. If the -f option is not specified, sasmgr displays a warning message before continuing the command. Otherwise, it suppresses the warning message and executes the command. download Updates the firmware on a SAS controller, enclosure, or SAS disk.
get_stat When run without qualifiers, it shows statistics about the controller represented by device_file. You can specify the following qualifiers: • phy – Shows statistics for all PHYs or a specific PHY. • phy_in_port – Shows statistics for a port that the specified PHY belongs to or provides statistics for all ports. • target – Shows statistics for a specific target or all targets.

The firmware download process can take a long time to complete (typically, 10-15 minutes). During this time, all I/Os to the controller specified by sasdX are halted. If the controller has a boot logical drive configured, use DFDUTIL from the EFI shell to update the enclosure firmware offline. For more information, see the sasmgr(1M) manpages.
Recommendations Updating Physical Disk Firmware Consider the following when you update the firmware of physical disks attached to the AH303A Host Bus Adapter with sasmgr(1M): • • If you are updating the firmware on more than one disk, do not issue multiple disk firmware download commands on the same command line. Use individual commands for each disk that is to be updated.
A Electrostatic Discharge This appendix discusses ways to prevent damage to your system due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). This appendix addresses the following topics: “Handling Parts” (page 59) “Grounding” (page 59) Handling Parts To prevent damage to your system, you must take precautions when setting up the system or handling parts.
