In the example above, the SCSI Device Summary lists the SCSI channel and the SCSI ID for each of the

physical disks attached to the RAID160 SA controller. The information provided for each of the physical disks,

following the SCSI Device Summary, indicates that all of the physical disks have firmware version HPB3

installed.

Updating Physical Disk Firmware

The sautil physical disk firmware update command syntax is:

sautil <device_file> download_dev_fw <fw_image> <ch>:<id>

where:

<device_file> is the controller device file. The RAID160 SA controller device file can be determined by

issuing the ioscan -kfn command as illustrated in “Determining the RAID160 SA Device File” on

page 59.

<fw_image> is the file path for the firmware version you want to install on the RAID160 SA controller.

You will need to contact your HP representative for access to the physical disk firmware image update

file.

<ch>:<id> is the SCSI channel and the SCSI ID of the physical disk you want to change the firmware on.

The SCSI channel and the SCSI ID for each physical disk connected to the RAID160 SA controller can be

determined from the SCSI Device Summary contained in the output of the sautil <device_file>

command or the sautil <device_file> -s command as illustrated in “Determining the SCSI Channel,

the SCSI ID, and the Firmware Version for Physical Disks” on page 59.

When the

sautil <device_file> download_dev_fw <fw_image> <pdev_id> command is issued, the physical disk

firmware version that is currently installed will be listed along with the firmware version you selected to

replace it with. You will have the opportunity to proceed with the download or cancel:

NOTE This procedure will need to be repeated for each physical disk that you want to update the

firmware on.
