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 of the HP Smart Array Support Guide 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 P400 and P800 Controller for Integrity Servers Support Guide at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html

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
==========================================================================
ext_bus   5  0/6/0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0  ciss     CLAIMED     INTERFACE    PCIe SAS SmartArray P400 RAID Controller
                           /dev/ciss5

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/ciss5 –s
