2.Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller.
To update a single controller, the syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows: saupdate UPDATE <seg:bus:dev:func> <smartarray_firmware_file>
For example, to update the controller at segment 1, bus E4, device 0, function 0 from the example output above:
fs0:\> saupdate UPDATE 1:E4:0:0 sandman.bin
To update all controllers of the same model in the server, the syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows:
saupdate UPDATE <model> <smartarray_firmware_file>.
For example, to update all Smart Array P411 controllers in the system:
fs1:\> saupdate update P411 sandman.bin
