3.Use the -doption of the mptutil command to update the SCSI firmware on the A71713A adapter. The command syntax is:

mptutil -d<firmware_image> <device_file>

where <firmware_image> is the name of the SCSI firmware image file you want to flash to ROM on the A7173A adapter, and <device_file> is the device file name for one of the channels on the A7173A adapter. Since both channels on an A7173A adapter share the same ROM, the SCSI firmware image can be flashed to ROM via either channel.

In Example 4-3, SCSI firmware image 1.03.35.69 IO is flashed to the A7173A adapter associated with the /dev/mpt14 device file:
