NAME

download — download new controller or disk firmware

SYNOPSIS

download -D slot [-?] codefilename array-id

download -C [-?] codefilename array-id

download -M [-?] array-id

download -i [-?]

DESCRIPTION

download copies new firmware code to the controller or disks in the disk array identified by array-id. The new code is stored in the file identified by codefilename. Firmware can also be copied from a primary controller to a secondary controller.

The array-id used to address the disk array can be the disk array serial number, the character device file name of any LUN on the array (LUN 0 if no LUNs are created), or the alias text string assigned to the disk array.

When downloading new firmware code, the arraymond disk monitor and ARMServer can be turned off to avoid error messages generated while the disk array is not accessible. To turn off arraymond and ARMServer use the following command line:

/sbin/init.d/hparray stop 

To restart arraymond and ARMServer use the following command line:

/sbin/init.d/hparray start 

Options

download supports the following options:

-C: Download new controller firmware. If there are two controllers installed in the disk array, new firmware will be downloaded to both.
-D slot: Download firmware to the disk installed in the cabinet slot identified by slot. Slot numbers must be of the form An or Bn, where A or B correspond to a cabinet column, and n corresponds to a shelf position (1-6).
-i: Display the serial number and firmware revisions for all disk arrays currently connected to and recognized by the server. Because this option is device-independent, it does not use array-id .
-M: Copy the controller firmware from the primary controller to the secondary controller.
-?: Display expanded usage message. This option overrides all others.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed. The current language settings can be checked with locale(1).

RETURN VALUE

download returns the following values:

0: Successful completion.
1: An error in execution (I/O, subsystem, security, etc.) occurred.
2: An error in command syntax occurred: for example, an unknown command-line option was passed.
3: Timeout in communication to server. May indicate ARMServer is not running.

DIAGNOSTICS

The following messages can be generated by download:

Usage: download -D slot | -C | -M [-?] codefilename array-id

An error in command syntax has occurred. Re-enter the command with all necessary arguments.

download: Arg out of range

One of the arguments has exceeded its maximum or minimum size, or is incorrect in form. Check the size and form of each argument.

download: Unknown argument

An invalid argument was specified. Check command usage.

download: No such file or directory

The specified array-id does not exist or does not identify a disk array that is communicating with the system. Verify the correct array-id with ioscan(1M) or arraydsp(1M).

download: Error in command execution, <Additional Error Info>: 
<Error Info Decode> 

The command failed due to a device error, an internal error, or a system error. The Additional Error Info and Error Info Decode fields will hold specifics about the failure and its cause.

download: Array was just powered-on or reset.

The command failed because the disk array has been powered-on or reset. Reissue the command and it should succeed.

EXAMPLES

Download new firmware from file coderev2.1 to the controllers on the disk array identified by device file /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0:

download -C coderev2.1 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0 

Download new firmware from file diskrev3.2 to the disk installed in slot B2 of disk array serial number 00786b5c0000:

download -D B2 diskrev3.2 00786b5c0000 

Copy the current firmware from the primary controller to the secondary controller on disk array identified by alias AUTORAID4:

download -M AUTORAID4 

SECURITY CONFIGURATION

This command is modified for all security configurations.

Security Behavior/Restrictions

Use of this command is restricted to authorized users only.

Command Authorizations

This command requires the sysadmin authorization to successfully execute.

Privileges

The command has been modified to support least privilege. The potential privileges possessed by the command and their uses include:

allowdacread: This privilege is raised to provide discretionary read access to the devices.
allowdacwrite: This privilege is raised to provide discretionary write access to the devices.
allowmacread: This privilege is raised to provide mandatory read access to the devices.
allowmacwrite: This privilege is raised to provide mandatory write access to the devices.
filesysops: This privilege is raised to allow the mknod(2) system call to succeed.
writeaudit: The command generates its own audit records and submits these directly to the system audit trail. This privilege is raised whenever the command needs to write an audit record.
