Syntax

download storageArray NVSRAM file="filename"
[healthCheckMelOverride=(TRUE | FALSE)]

Parameters

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
`file`	The file path and the file name that contains the NVSRAM values. Enclose the NVSRAM file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example: `file="C:\Program Files\CLI\dnld\afrm.dlp"` Valid file names have a `.dlp` extension.
`healthCheckMelOverride`	The setting to override the results of the health check of the major event log (MEL). MEL validation still occurs, it is not bypassed. If the MEL check fails, you can bypass the failure by using this parameter when running the command. Before any download, the controller checks the event log to determine if an event has occurred that might prevent the new NVSRAM from successfully downloading. If such an event has occurred, the controller will normally not download new NVSRAM. This parameter forces the controller to download new NVSRAM. The default value is `FALSE`. Set this value to `TRUE` if you want to force the controller to download new NVSRAM.

file

The file path and the file name that contains the NVSRAM values. Enclose the NVSRAM file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

Before any download, the controller checks the event log to determine if an event has occurred that might prevent the new NVSRAM from successfully downloading. If such an event has occurred, the controller will normally not download new NVSRAM.

This parameter forces the controller to download new NVSRAM. The default value is FALSE. Set this value to TRUE if you want to force the controller to download new NVSRAM.
