Update Flash Package Command

The -updatepkg command updates Sun Flash Accelerator F40 PCIe Cards with the specified firmware package file. You select a card by typing the card ID, or all cards in the server are updated if you do not select any card ID using the command line interface or text interface.

This command supports the upgrade of only the firmware package. If the current firmware package version on the selected card is higher than the specified firmware package version, the command returns an error.

Text Menu Interface Usage: The following top-level menu lists the cards in the system and prompts you to select a card on which to perform an operation. Two Sun Flash Accelerator F40 PCIe Cards are shown in the following example:
