Nautilus DOS Nautilus is the tool that is used for offline
firmware updates. Nautilus DOS is the version
of the tool that works on 9
th
(x9xx) - 11
th
(yx1x)
generation of supported servers with SAS and
SATA drives. This tool updates multiple drive
types with a single scan and updates procedure
boot and runs from a USB key, Preboot
Execution Environmen (PXE), or CD-ROM. If
the Nautilus DOS column has a part number
then that drive is shipped on a 9
th
- 11
th
generation server. When downloaded, this tool
appears under the Drive Firmware Downloads
with a file name of the format
NautilusAxx_ZPE.exe.
DUP Reboot Required If this field is set to Yes, then the [DUP] field
will not be blank. It indicates the availability of
an online DUP. The DUP allows to be sent to the
firmware payload through an online executable,
but the firmware will not be committed to the
disk until the next system reboot. Hence, you
can perform one-to-many online deployments
using applications or scripts that can launch the
online executable.
DUP It is a single executable that runs on a single
family of drives. Unlike Nautilus, to update
different drives you have to use different DUP
packages. A single DUP package updates all
drives applicable to that DUP package in an
execution. You can run the DUP online without
a reboot. It is recommended to stop or at least
slow I/O operations during a DUP online
firmware upgrade.
Part Number In the event of a drive failure, you can run the
Physical Disk Firmware Version Report to find
out the part number of the failed drive and to
check if any of the drives require an update.
