Faulty controller or peripheral hardware (such as cables, disk drives, etc.) will not cause this
utility to hang. It will exit with the appropriate return value. If an operation fails, clear the fault
condition by whatever means necessary and retry the operation.

Updating SAS Controller Firmware Offline
Follow the procedures in this section to update the SAS controller firmware offline. For
information on recommended firmware versions, see the SAS Host Bus Adapters Support Matrix
at:
http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html
There are two methods to update the SAS controller firmware offline, depending on the HP-UX
and SerialSCSI-00 versions installed on the server:
•
In some SerialSCSI-00 bundle versions, the
sasd
driver updates the adapter firmware when
the system boots.
•
In later SerialSCSI-00 versions, the firmware is not updated by the driver. Use the
sasflash
EFI utility to update adapter firmware offline.
Table 3-2
lists the method you must use to update the adapter firmware for each supported
HP-UX and SerialSCSI-00 bundle version.
