Follow the instructions included in the file download to install the update on your system. 1 Run the command line interface. 2 Check the inband SAS address.
Using the Expander Flash Utility 4 Expander Flash Utility (Xflash) is a command-line utility that you can use to identify the SAS address of the SAS expander, determine the expander firmware version, reset the SAS expander, or update the two SAS expander chips simultaneously or separately. Hardware and Software Requirements Xflash runs on the following platforms.
Command Description Use the following syntax for Xflash utility commands: xflash [OPTIONS] [INTERFACE] [COMMAND] Use a space to separate the program name, the options, the interface and the command fields. Command Line Parameters The following tables list the common Xflash commands used in this document. NOTE: For a detailed list of the command line parameters refer to the Xflash README file. Table 4-1.
Table 4-3.
Cabling Configurations The expander firmware update can be done via the inband SAS port by connecting a mini-SAS cable(s) between the storage sled and compute sled. You can choose from the following cabling options when updating the expander firmware. • 1 Expander A/B — Single-HBA/RAID host direct connection to a 12-drive sled In this configuration, the host is connected to the storage sled’s external mini-SAS A1 and A2 connectors and the 12 hard-drives are unified and controlled by expander chips A and B.
• 4 Expander A/B — Four single-RAID hosts direct connection to a 24-drive sled In this configuration, the four hosts are connected to the storage sled and the 24 hard-drives are grouped into four zones. Expander chip A controls zones 0 and 1 and expander chip B controls zones 2 and 3. See Figure 1-13. This cabling option supports RAID cards only and allows you to manually update the expander firmware on both expander chips one at a time.
