confirm or update the controller firmware, you must know the device file name for the Smart Array Controller.

1.Determine the device file for the Smart Array Controller by running the ioscan -kfnd ciss command. The following is an example of the ioscan output listing the Smart Array Controller device files:

# ioscan -kfnd ciss

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

==========================================================================

ext_bus 5 0/6/0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0 ciss CLAIMED INTERFACE PCIe SAS SmartArray P400 RAID Controller

/dev/ciss5

In the example, /dev/ciss5 is the device file for Smart Array P400 Controller.

2.Determine the Smart Array series controller firmware version that is in the ROM on the Smart Array Controller by using either the sautil <device_file> command (extensive output), or the sautil <device_file> -scommand (shortened output). Entering the sautil <device_file -s>command provides an abbreviated listing of information for the Smart Array Controller and all connected devices, including the firmware version currently in ROM.

# sautil /dev/ciss5 -s
