5.1 Storage Subsystem Firmware Upgrade
Attention:
If the OOBM is not being used, query Page Eh by executing the
following command
sg_ses <device> -p0xe
.
Step 2 :
Press
Enter
.
The firmware begins loading onto the IOM. The upgrade can take up to
20 minutes
to
complete.
Important:
Due to the firmware image being a .tar.gz file, the enclosure has to
unpack and load the firmware onto the respective ICs which may take up to 15
minutes. Once the sg_ses_microcode command is issued wait 20 minutes to
ensure the enclosure has time to perform this process. To check the status of
this process, use the Redfish out-of-band management to make a GET request
to the following target:
curl -G -k -u admin:admin -H "Content-type: application/
json" https://<ip address>/redfish/v1/UpdateService/Actions/
UpdateService.SimpleUpdate/Status
Attention:
If the OOBM is not being used, query Page Eh by executing the
following command
sg_ses <device> -p0xe
. The first time this command is
issued, the output may be inaccurate, please ignore and issue the command
again. The string to observe for download microcode status is “Complete, no
error, start after hard reset or power cycle [0x11]” before proceeding to the
activate step.
