   Once you have successfully installed the fwupdate component, go on to step 2 of this procedure.

2. Download and unpack the latest version of FMod firmware.

   The firware is available at https://support.oracle.com/. Search for patch ID 145426-01.

3. Stop all I/O functions on the card.
4. To locate an FMod, type:

   # fwupdate list disk 
   DISKS
   ====================
   ID   Brand   Model   Chassis Slot    Type   Media   Size(GB) Firmware Revision
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   c2d0 MARVELL SD88SA02      0          14    sata  SSD   24        D20R
   c2d1 MARVELL SD88SA02      0          14    sata  SSD   24        D20R
   c2d2 MARVELL SD88SA02      0          14    sata  SSD   24        D20R
   c2d3 MARVELL SD88SA02      0          14    sata  SSD   24        D20R
    

   ---

   Note - This procedure shows how to update one FMod. Make sure to update all installed FMods.

   ---

5. Follow the instructions in the firmware README file to update the firmware.

   This example assumes the new firmware file (D20Y_metadata.xml) is in the same directory from which you run the command.

   ---

   Caution - Do not run the update disk_firmware command without the -x D20Y_metadata.xml option. Without this option, the device can become unresponsive.

   ---

   # fwupdate update disk-firmwate -x D20Y_metadata.xml -n c2d0
   The following components will be upgraded as shown:
   ====================
   ID Priority Action Status Old Firmware Ver.Proposed Ver.New Firmware Ver. System Reboot
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   c2d0  1   Check FW Success     D20R         D20Y            N/A   System Power  
    
   Do you wish to process all of the above component upgrades? [y/n] y
   Updating c2d0: Success
    
   Verifying all priority 1 updates
    
   Execution Summary
   ====================
   ID Priority Action Status Old Firmware Ver.Proposed Ver.New Firmware Ver. System Reboot
   c2d0  1   Post Power Pending   D20R         D20Y            N/A   System Power  
   System Reboot required for some applied firmware
   Do you wish to automatically reboot now? [y/n] 

   ---

   Note - Update the firmware on all FMods on the card before automatically rebooting.

   ---

6. Repeat step 5 for each FMod on the card.
7. Verify the new FMod firmware was successfully installed. Type:

   # fwupdate list disk 
   DISKS
   ====================
   ID   Brand   Model   Chassis Slot    Type   Media   Size(GB) Firmware Revision
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   c2d0 MARVELL SD88SA02      0          14    sata  SSD   24        D20Y
    

   In this example the firmware was successfully updated from version D20R to D20Y.
