v Ensure that the firmware image file is compatible with the drive enclosure. If you download a
firmware image file that is not compatible with the drive enclosure that you have selected, the drive
enclosure might become unusable.
v Do not make any configuration changes to the storage subsystem while you download drive firmware.
Trying to make a configuration change can cause the firmware download to fail and make the selected
drives unusable.
When you download the firmware to the drives, you must provide the full path and file name to the
firmware image that is stored on your system.
You can use download drive command to test the firmware on one drive before you install the firmware
on all of the drives in a storage subsystem. The download returns one of these statuses:
v Successful
v Unsuccessful With Reason
v Never Attempted With Reason
The drive parameter supports both high-capacity drive enclosures and low-capacity drive enclosures. A
high-capacity drive enclosure has drawers that hold the drives. The drawers slide out of the drive
enclosure to provide access to the drives. A low-capacity drive enclosure does not have drawers. For a
high-capacity drive enclosure, you must specify the identifier (ID) of the drive enclosure, the ID of the
drawer, and the ID of the slot in which a drive resides. For a low-capacity drive enclosure, you need only
specify the ID of the drive enclosure and the ID of the slot in which a drive resides. For a low-capacity
drive enclosure, an alternative method for identifying a location for a drive is to specify the ID of the
drive enclosure, set the ID of the drawer to 0, and specify the ID of the slot in which a drive resides.
