Parameters Parameter enclosure file Description Identifies the enclosure to which to load new firmware. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. You must put brackets ([ ]) around the enclosure ID value. You can use the following parameters: • The allEnclosures parameter, which downloads new firmware to all of the EMMs in the storage array • The enclosure parameter, which downloads new firmware to a specific EMM. If you need to download new firmware to more than one EMM, but not all RAID controller modules, you must enter this command for each storage array. File path and file name of the file that contains the firmware image. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the firmware image file path and file name. Script Commands 159
