Download Physical Disk Firmware
This command downloads a firmware image to a physical disk.
NOTICE:
Downloading physical disk firmware incorrectly can result in damage to
the physical disks or loss of data.
Before attempting to download physical disk firmware, you must take the
following precautions:
1 Stop all I/O activity to the storage array before downloading the firmware
image.
2 Ensure the firmware image file is compatible with the physical disk
enclosure. If you download a file that is not compatible with the selected
physical disk enclosure, the enclosure might become unusable.
3 Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while
downloading the physical disk firmware. Attempting to make a
configuration change can cause the firmware download to fail and make
the selected physical disks unusable.

new firmware. Enclosure ID values are 0
to 99. You must put brackets ([ ]) around
