IBM Advanced SerialRAID Adapters SA33-3285-02, User Manual

Page: 371 / 531

Flags
-d PhysicalDiskName
Specifies the physical disk drive that is to receive the microcode.
-f CodeFileName
Specifies the microcode file to be downloaded.
-u Ensures that all SSA physical disk drives are loaded with the latest level of
microcode that is available on the system.
By default, this flag ensures that all SSA physical disk drives are loaded with
the latest microcode. To update a specific disk drive, use this flag and the -d
flag.
-s Shows the existing levels of microcode that are installed on SSA physical disk
drives.
By default, this flag shows the existing level of microcode that is installed on all
SSA physical disk drives. To list a specific disk drive, use this flag and the -d
flag.
-a adapter
Specifies the adapter on which the operation is to run so that you can update
all disk drives that are connected to that adapter.
-p Enables more than one copy of ssadload to run at the same time. Parallel
download operations are therefore possible.
Attention: When this flag is used, a download operation to two disk drives that
are in the same loop or array can occur if the using system contains two SSA
adapters. The user must ensure that such operations do not occur.
Examples
v
Using the -f flag:
ssadload -d pdisk0 -f ssadisk.ros.7899
With this flag, the command loads microcode file ssadisk.ros.7899 onto pdisk0.
v
Using the -u flag:
ssadload -u
With this flag, the command identifies the latest level of SSA disk drive microcode
that is available in the /etc/microcode directory. It then ensures that all the disk drives
are using microcode that is at that level or at a higher level. If it finds a disk drive
that is using a lower level of microcode, the command downloads the latest level of
microcode to that disk drive.
v
Using the -s flag:
ssadload -s
With this flag, the command lists the existing levels of microcode of the available disk
drives.
