RAID160 SA Controller Firmware

The sautil command is used to confirm and update the firmware version that is currently installed on the

RAID160 SA controller. HP recommends that the latest firmware version be installed.

NOTE This section of the RAID160 Support Guide focuses on the sautil command options that are

used to confirm, or change, RAID160 SA controller firmware. The other sautil command

options listed in the sautil help screen and detailed in the sautil manpages, are explained in

“The sautil Command” on page 80.

You will need a superuser user ID to run the sautil command.

By issuing the sautil command without any options, the sautil help screen with command options and

syntax will be displayed:

# sautil
