Step 7 :
Verify the installation is correct by repeating the
sg_scan -i
again.
Note:
The firmware update is downloaded to both IOMs at the same
time.
Step 8 :
Ensure multi-pathing can see all of the expected drives.
a.
Execute the following command to verify that there are two paths to each drive:

Non-Automatic Firmware Activation in Linux
Step 1 :
Ensure multi-pathing can see all of the expected drives.
a.
Execute the following command to verify that there are two paths to each drive:
multipath -ll | grep -i “active ready running” -c
Step 2 :
Locate the <dev> device name from the sg_scan -i.
Step 3 :
Execute the following command to upgrade the enclosure firmware using sg_ses_microcode.
a.
Issue the following command:
sg_ses_microcode <dev> -m 0xe -N -b 4096 -I <filename> -vv
Step 4 :
Press
Enter
.
The firmware begins loading onto the IOMs. 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
Note:
Execute the command until you see the following result:
{"ErrorCode":0,"StatusCode":2,"Description":"FW
update completed. Waiting for
activation.","EstimatedRemainingMinutes":0}
