where "<device_file>" is the adapter’s device file, e.g., /dev/ciss5
"-s" (optional) displays a shorter output
"<fw_image>" is the firmware image file to download
"<ch>:<id>" is the physical disk to update, e.g., 4:12
Notes:
- This utility requires superuser privilege.
- See the sautil man page for tool details.
#
Before running the sautil command to confirm or update the controller firmware, you will need to know the
device file for the RAID160 SA controller.
Determining the RAID160 SA Device File
The device file for the RAID160 SA controller can be determined from the output of the ioscan -kfn
command. An example of a portion of the ioscan -kfn output listing the RAID160 SA device file follows:
# ioscan -kfn
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

/dev/ciss6
target 7 0/6/0/0.0 tgt NO_HW DEVICE
target 8 0/6/0/0.7 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE
The device file for the RAID160 SA controller in the example above is /dev/ciss6.
Determining the RAID160 SA Firmware Version
The firmware version that is in the ROM on the RAID160 SA controller can be determined by using either the
sautil <device_file> command (extensive output), or the sautil <device_file> -s command
(shortened output).
