Chapter 5: MegaRAID Command Tool | Flashing the Firmware MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide 5.16.2 Display Enclosure Status Use the command in the following table to display the status of the enclosure for selected controller(s). Table 105: Display Enclosure Status Convention Description MegaCli -EncStatus -aN|-a0,1,2|-aALL Displays the status of the enclosure for the selected controller(s). 5.17 Flashing the Firmware 5.17.1 Flash the Firmware with the ROM File The options in this section describe the functionality of the existing flash application. The firmware flash options do not require input from the user. Use the command in the following table to flash the firmware with the ROM file specified at the command line for the selected controller(s). Table 106: Flash Firmware with ROM File Convention Description MegaCli -AdpFwFlash -f filename [-NoSigChk] [-NoVerChk]-aN|-a0,1,2|-aALL Flashes the firmware with the ROM file specified at the command line. The -NoSigChk option forces the application to flash the firmware even if the check word on the file does not match the required check word for the controller. This option flashes the firmware only if the existing firmware version on the controller is lower than the version on the ROM image. If you specify -NoVerChk, also, the application flashes the controller firmware without checking the version of the firmware image. The version check applies only to the firmware (APP.ROM) version. This command also supports the "Mode 0" flash functionality. For Mode 0 flash, the controller number is not valid. There are two possible methods: • Select which controller to flash after the controllers are detected. • Flash the firmware on all present controllers. XML output data is generated by this option. 5.17.2 Flash the Firmware in Mode 0 with the ROM File Use the command in the following table to flash the firmware in Mode 0 with the ROM file specified at the command line for the selected controller(s). This option is for DOS only. Table 107: Flash Firmware in Mode 0 with ROM File Convention Description MegaCli -AdpM0Flash -f filename Flashes the firmware in Mode 0 with the ROM file listed on the command line. This option supports the Mode 0 flash functionality. For Mode 0 flash, the controller number is not valid. The method to handle this is to flash the firmware on all present controllers which are compatible with the image. Page 212
