Verifying and Updating Enclosure Firmware Offline

Follow the procedures in this section to check and update the firmware in an external enclosure.

Verifying the Enclosure Firmware

Use saupdate from the EFI Shell to update the firmware image on the controller. Follow one

of these two procedures to run saupdate:

• If you are using saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:

1. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting

the system.

2. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt.

3. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by typing

its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under EFI Shell prompt.

4. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory in which the file

is located, for example:

fs0:\>cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

• If you are not using the Offline Diagnostic CD:

1. Download the SA EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the EFI partition.

2. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition.

3. If the EFI utility is not located in the root directory, move to the directory in which the file

is located, for example:

fs0:\>cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

• Run saupdate.efi using the using the fs0:\> saupdate.efi command.

• Use saupdate LIST to display all detected Smart Array controllers along with the active

firmware versions. For example:
