HP A7143A RAID160 SA Controller Support Guide, February 2007

Installing the RAID160 SA Controller
Physical Disk Firmware
Chapter 4
59
"<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 physical disk firmware, you will need to know the
device file for the RAID160 SA controller as well as the SCSI channel and SCSI ID for each of the physical
disks attached to 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

/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 SCSI Channel, the SCSI ID, and the Firmware Version for
Physical Disks
The SCSI channel, SCSI ID, and the firmware version that is installed on each of the physical disks attached
to 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).
