Downloading Firmware (download)

In a StorEdge A5000 disk array, when the download is complete, the disk array is be reset and the downloaded code is executed.

In a SPARCstorage Array, when the download is complete, you must reset the SPARCstorage Array to execute the downloaded code.

• StorEdge A5000

• SPARCstorage Array

luxadm [ -v ] download [-s] [-f filename-path ]

Caution -

When using the -s option, the download modifies the FEPROM in the StorEdge A5000 disk array.

---

Note -

The -s option does not apply to the SPARCstorage Array controller, as it always writes the downloaded firmware into the FEPROM.
