Download Physical Disk Firmware This command downloads a firmware image to a physical disk. CAUTION: Downloading physical disk firmware incorrectly can result in damage to the physical disks or loss of data. Before attempting to download physical disk firmware, you must take the following precautions: 1 Stop all I/O activity to the storage array before downloading the firmware image. 2 Ensure the firmware image file is compatible with the physical disk enclosure. If you download a file that is not compatible with the selected physical disk enclosure, the enclosure might become unusable. 3 Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while downloading the physical disk firmware. Attempting to make a configuration change can cause the firmware download to fail and make the selected physical disks unusable. You can use this command to test the firmware on one physical disk before installing the firmware on all of the physical disks in a storage array. (Use the download storageArray physicalDiskFirmware command to download firmware on all of the physical disks in the storage array.) This command blocks all I/O activity until the download finishes or fails. The download returns one of the following statuses: • Successful • Unsuccessful With Reason • Never Attempted With Reason.
