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

amdload: 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.

amdload: The <ArrayID> entered does not identify a known, supported

array

The speciﬁed ArrayID does not exist or does not identify a device that is communicating with the sys-

tem. Verify the array exists and is operational.

amdload: Firmware download has been aborted.

Disk <disk> does not exist in the subsystem.

The speciﬁed disk does not exist in the subsystem. Re-enter the list of disks, making sure all disks

are physically present. A similar message will appear for channels that do not exist.

amdload: Firmware download has been aborted.

There is more than one type of disk mechanism among

the disks selected for update.

Any particular ﬁrmware ﬁle is only valid for one type of disk mechanism. This message will appear if

the disks speciﬁed for update are of more than one mechanism type. Re-enter the list of disks, only

including disks of one mechanism type.

amdload: The disk <disk> was repeated in your list.

Re-enter the command, listing each item once.

This message will appear if a disk or channel is repeated in the input list. Be sure to list each item

once.

amdload: Firmware download has been aborted.

LUN <lun> is not in an Optimal state. Wait until all LUNs are in

an Optimal state before attempting further firmware downloads.

LUNs must be in an Optimal state before attempting disk or array controller downloads. This mes-

sage will appear if any LUNs are not Optimal prior to a download, or if a LUN enters a non-Optimal

state between disk downloads.
