This command option is described in
“Using sautil to check and update the controller firmware”
.
To update physical disk firmware, use the following command:
# sautil <device_file> download_dev_fw <fw_image> <physical drive id>
This command option is described in
“Confirming and updating physical disk firmware” (page 33)
.
To update the firmware of an external enclosure attached to a Smart Array controller, use the
following command:
# sautil <device_file> download_encl_fw <fw_image>
This command option is described in
“Checking and updating SAS storage enclosure firmware
.
The
sautil <device_file> reset_ctlr
command resets the Smart Array Controller.
Situations that might require a controller reset include the following:
•
When logical drives on the replacement controller are not detected after OLR of a Smart Array
controller.
•
When logical drives are not detected on a disk enclosure with an existing RAID configuration
after the enclosure was hot added.
The
sautil <device_file> start_recovery
command causes the Smart Array controller
to rebuild logical drives that are in
READY FOR RECOVERY OPERATION
state. Logical drives in
this state transition to
RECOVERING
. Heavy I/O to the controller can delay this transition. There
is no adverse impact if you use this option when no logical drives are in
READY FOR RECOVERY
OPERATION
state.
The following
sautil
troubleshooting command options, included in the
sautil
help screen
and detailed in the
sautil
manpages, are intended for use by HP support personnel. Detailed
knowledge of the Smart Array Controller driver and firmware is required to interpret the output of
the following command options:
•
# sautil <device_file> stat
•
# sautil <device_file> clear_stat
•
# sautil <device_file> get_trace_buf
•
# sautil <device_file> get_fw_err_log [-raw]
•
# sautil <device_file> clear_fw_err_log
•
# sautil <device_file> get_disk_err_log <physical drive id> [-raw]
•
# sautil <device_file> get_pci_header
•
# sautil <device_file> read_regs
The following
sautil
command options are useful for troubleshooting a Smart Array Controller:
•
# sautil <device_file>
•
# sautil <device_file> scan
•
# sautil <device_file> accept_media_xchg <logical_drive_number>
•
# sautil <device_file> set_transfer_rate <rate>
•
# sautil run_startup_script
These
sautil
command options are described in the following sections, and in the
sautil
manpages.
