Name Displays the nexus or location of each drive that has to be updated. This
nexus is represented as a two or three-digit mapping of the drive location.
Example:
Two-digit mapping: 0:1 = Controller 0: Slot 1 Three-digit mapping: 1:0:4 =
Controller 1: Connector 0: Slot 4
Model Number Displays the unique number associated with a specic OEM vendor's drives
and drive capacity.
Firmware Version Displays the current running version of the rmware on the specic drive in
the system.
Latest Available Firmware Version Displays the rmware version that is compared against the rmware version
in the comparison le.
Nautilus EFI Nautilus is the tool that is used for oine rmware updates. Nautilus EFI is
the version of the tool that works on 11th generation of supported servers.
This tool updates multiple drive types with a single scan and updates
procedure boot and runs from a USB key. If the Nautilus EFI column has a
part number, then that drive is shipped on an 11th generation server. When
downloaded, this tool appears under the Drive Firmware Downloads with a
lename of the format NautilusEFIAxx_ZPE.exe.
Nautilus DOS Nautilus is the tool that is used for oine rmware updates. Nautilus DOS is
the version of the tool that works on 9th — 11th 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 environment (PXE), or CD-ROM. If the Nautilus DOS
column has a part number, then that drive is shipped on a 9th — 11th
generation server. When downloaded, this tool appears under the Drive
Firmware Downloads with a lename of the format NautilusAxx_ZPE.exe.
DUP Reboot Required If this eld is set to Yes, then the Update Package (DUP) eld is not blank. It
indicates the availability of an online DUP. The DUP allows to be sent to the
rmware payload through an online executable, but the rmware 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 dierent drives you have to use dierent 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 rmware upgrade.
