This command option is described in “Using sautil to check and update the controller firmware”
(page 78).
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
online” (page 82).
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.
