confirm or update the controller firmware, you must know the device file name for the Smart
Array Controller.
1.
Determine the device file for the Smart Array Controller by running the ioscan -kfnd
ciss
command. The following is an example of the ioscan output listing the Smart Array
Controller device files:
# ioscan -kfnd ciss
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
==========================================================================
ext_bus 5 0/6/0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0 ciss CLAIMED INTERFACE PCIe SAS SmartArray P400 RAID
Controller
/dev/ciss5
In the example, /dev/ciss5 is the device file for Smart Array P400 Controller.
2. Determine the Smart Array series controller firmware version that is in the ROM on the
Smart Array Controller by using either the sautil <device_file> command (extensive
output), or the sautil <device_file> -s command (shortened output). Entering the
sautil <device_file -s>
command provides an abbreviated listing of information
for the Smart Array Controller and all connected devices, including the firmware version
currently in ROM.
# sautil /dev/ciss5 -s
