Use the download subcommand to download a prom image to the FEPROMs on a StorEdge A5000 disk array IB or on a SPARCstorage Array controller board.
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 ]
When using the -s option, the download modifies the FEPROM in the StorEdge A5000 disk array.
The -s option does not apply to the SPARCstorage Array controller, as it always writes the downloaded firmware into the FEPROM.
Option/Argument |
Description |
---|---|
-s |
Saves the downloaded firmware in the FEPROM in a StorEdge A5000 disk array . If -s is not specified, the downloaded firmware will not be saved across power cycles. |
-f filename |
Downloads the prom image in filename. If you do not specify a filename, the default prom image is used. The default prom image in a StorEdge A5000 is in the directory /usr/lib/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES and is named ibfirmware. The default prom image in a SPARCstorage Array is in the directory /usr/lib/firmware/ssa and is named ssafirmware. |
-w WWN |
This option is for the SPARCstorage Array only. See "Changing a SPARCstorage Array WWN (download)". |
Use the download subcommand to change the WWN of a SPARCstorage Array controller board.
SPARCstorage Array
luxadm [ -v ] download [-w WWN] pathname
Option/Argument |
Description |
---|---|
pathname |
A SPARCstorage Array controller |
-w WWN |
Changes the World Wide Name for the SPARCstorage Array. WWN is a twelve-digit hex number; leading zeros are required. The new SPARCstorage Array controller's image will have the least-significant 6 bytes of the 8-byte WWN modified to WWN. |
Use the fc_s_download subcommand to download new fcode into all the FC25/S SBus Cards. (This is the 25 MHz host adapter card that connects to SPARCstorage Arrays.)
The fc_s_download subcommand is interactive; it waits for user confirmation before downloading the fcode.
The version of the FC/S SBus Cards fcode that was released with this version of the Operating System is located in the directory usr/lib/firmware/fc_s and is named fc_s_fcode.
SPARCstorage Array
Ensure that you download the usr/lib/firmware/fc_s/fc_s_fcode file.
Only use fc_s_download subcommand in single user mode; otherwise the FC/S card could be reset.
luxadm [ -v ] fc_s_download [-F] [-f fcode-file]
Option |
Description |
---|---|
-F |
Forcibly downloads the fcode. The subcommand expects user confirmation before the download. |
-f fcode-file |
The name of the file that has the new fcode. When the fc_s_download subcommand is invoked without the [-f fcode-file] option, the current version of the fcode in each FC/S SBus card is printed. |
Use the fcal_s_download subcommand to download new fcode into all the FC100/S SBus or FC100/P PCI host adapters or to display the current version of the fcode in each host adapter. (This is the 100-MHz host adapter card which connects to StorEdge A5000 disk arrays.)
The fcal_s_download subcommand is interactive and waits for user confirmation before downloading the fcode.
StorEdge A5000
Ensure that you download the /usr/lib/firmware/fc_s/fcal_s_fcode file.
Do not attempt to download fcode to a FC100/S SBus Card that is in your boot path. Boot from another device, such as a CDROM, and then download the fcode.
luxadm [ -v ] fcal_s_download [ -f fcode-file ]
Option |
Description |
---|---|
-f fcode-file |
This is the name of the file that has the new fcode. If you invoke the fcal_s_download subcommand without the [ -f fcode-file ] option, the current version of the fcode in each FC100/S SBus card is displayed. The version of the FC100/S SBus Cards fcode released with the operating system is located in the directory usr/lib/firmware/fc_s and is named fcal_s_fcode. |
