1. Ensure multi-pathing can see all of the expected drives.

multipath -ll | grep -i "active ready running" -c

3. Execute the following command to upgrade the enclosure firmware using sg_ses_microcode.
a. Issue the following command:
sg_ses_microcode /dev/sgX -m 0xe -N -b 4096 -I <filename> -vv
4. Press Enter.

Attention: If the OOBM is not being used, query Page Eh by executing the following
command
