HP Smart Array P700m Controller for Integrity Servers Installation Guide, Second Edition

2. Enter the ioscan -kfnd ciss command:
# ioscan -kfnd ciss
If the Smart Array Controller software is installed correctly, the generated output looks
similar to this:
# ioscan -kfnd ciss

/dev/ciss2
If the software is not installed correctly, reinstall it using swinstall. See “Installing
software” (page 5).
Confirming and updating physical disk firmware
Use the sautil command to confirm and update the firmware version on each physical disk
in the SmartArray disk enclosure attached to the Smart Array Controller.
NOTE: This section focuses on the sautil command options used to confirm, or change,
physical disk firmware. The other sautil command options listed in the sautil help screen
and detailed in the sautil manpages are explained in the HP Smart Array Controllers for Integrity
Servers Support Guide.
You must log in as a superuser to run the sautil command.
Before running the sautil command to confirm or update physical disk firmware, you must
know the device file name for the Smart Array Controller and the SCSI channel and SCSI ID for
each physical disk attached to the Smart Array Controller.
Determining the Smart Array Series Controller device file
Determine the device file name for the Smart Array Controller from the output of the ioscan
-kfnd ciss command. An example of the ioscan output listing the Smart Array Controller
device files follows.
# ioscan -kfnd ciss
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=======================================================================
escsi_ctlr 2 0/4/0/0/0/0 ciss CLAIMED INTERFACE PCIe SAS SmartArray P700 RAID Controller
/dev/ciss2
In the example, /dev/ciss5 is the device file for the Smart Array P400 Controller.
Determining the connector/enclosure/bay and firmware version for physical disks
You can determine the Connector/Enclosure/Bay and current firmware version for each physical
disk attached to the Smart Array Controller by using the sautil <device_file> command
(extensive output), or the sautil <device_file> -s command (shortened output).
The sautil <device_file> -s command displays an abbreviated list of information for
the Smart Array Controller and connected devices, including a SAS/SATA DEVICE SUMMARY
that lists the Connector/Enclosure/Bay for each physical disk attached to the Smart Array
Controller. The firmware version installed on each physical disk is also included in the sautil
<device_file> -s command output. For example:
# sautil /dev/ciss2 –s
