NOTE:

To update SAS controller firmware online, you must be running version 11.31.0909 or

higher of the

sasd

driver. Online SAS controller firmware updates are not supported on systems

running HP-UX 11i v2.

For example, to update the firmware of the controller with the device file /dev/sasd0 online with

the firmware file sas1068_b0fw.fw:

sasmgr download -D /dev/sasd0 -q downloadfile=sas1068_b0fw.fw -q hba

NOTE:

If the firmware is being downgraded to a lower version, an incompatible older version

of the firmware may get rejected. This occurs if the downgraded version of firmware is

significantly older then the version currently installed on the controller.

Use

sasmgr get_info

to determine the hardware revision of the controller, in order to select

the correct firmware file to download. For example, to determine the hardware revision of the

controller with the device file /dev/sasd0:

#

sasmgr get_info -D /dev/sasd0 | grep Revision

PCI Revision ID

: 0x0001

Hardware Revision ID

: B0

Firmware Revision

: 1.23.42.0

Performing Other Common Operations

Clear statistics for a port with PHY ID 1 of the controller with the device file /dev/sasd0:

sasmgr clear_stat -D /dev/sasd0 -q phy_in_port=1

Forcefully issue disable request to the controller with the device file /dev/sasd0:

sasmgr -f disable -D /dev/sasd0

Add a RAID volume with size 34000 (MB), level 1 (RAID1), and enc_bay 1:4,1:5 to the controller

with the device file /dev/sasd0:

sasmgr add -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid -q level=1 -q size=34000 -q enc_bay=1:4,1:5

Add a spare disk to the controller with the device file /dev/sasd0:

sasmgr add -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid -q spare -q enc_bay=1:8

Delete a RAID volume with volume ID 4 to the controller with the device file /dev/sasd0:

sasmgr delete -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid -q raid_vol=4

Delete the HBA Spare on the controller with the device file /dev/sasd0:

sasmgr delete -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid -q spare

Replacing a Disk Online Using sasmgr replace_tgt or io_redirect_dsf

When you replace a disk, a new Device Special File (DSF) is created for the replacement disk;

this can cause data restoration or recovery operations to fail. To avoid this situation, perform an

online replacement of the failed disk:

•

For HP-UX 11i v2

, perform an online replacement of the failed disk using the

sasmgr

command with the

replace_tgt

qualifier. This enables you to remap the DSF of the failed

disk to the replacement disk.

•

For HP-UX 11i v3

, the

sasmgr replace_tgt

command can be used with legacy DSFs,

but it does not support the persistent DSF format. The

<lun_dsf>

specified with the

old_dev

qualifier and the

<new_hw_path>

specified with the

new_tgt_hwpath

qualifier

must still use the legacy device file and the legacy hardware path.

To perform the equivalent operation on HP-UX 11i v3 using a persistent DSF, you must use

the new

io_redirect_dsf(1M)

command. For more details, see the

Replacing a Disk Online Using sasmgr replace_tgt or io_redirect_dsf
