Property Definition
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
Two-digit mapping: 0:1 = Connector 1: Enclosure 0 Three-digit mapping: 1:0:4 =
Connector 1: Enclosure 0: Slot 4
Model Number Displays the unique number associated with a specific OEM vendor's drives and
drive capacity.
Firmware Version Displays the current running version of the firmware on the specific drive in the
system.
Latest Available Firmware Version Displays the firmware version that is compared against the firmware version in
the comparison file.
Nautilus EFI Nautilus is the tool that is used for offline firmware 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 filename of the format
NautilusEFIAxx_ZPE.exe.
Nautilus DOS Nautilus is the tool that is used for offline firmware 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 filename of the
format NautilusAxx_ZPE.exe.
DUP Reboot Required If this field is set to Yes, then the Update Package (DUP) field is not 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
