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 con-
nected 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.
