Download environmental card firmware
The download tray firmware file
command downloads environmental services module (ESM) firmware.
Supported Arrays
This command applies to any individual storage array, including the E4000, E2700, E5600, E2800, E5700, EF600 and EF300 arrays, as long as all SMcli packages are installed.
Roles
To execute this command on an E4000, E2800, E5700, EF600, or EF300 storage array, you must have the Storage Admin or Support Admin role.
Context
On duplex systems managed by System Manager (for example, E2800), there is an IOM Auto-Synchronization Service running on the controllers that will automatically sync the IOM firmware with the version contained in the SANtricity OS bundle that is loaded on the controllers. If you do not want the IOM firmware to be reverted to match the version loaded on the controllers, you will need to disable this service. The IOM Auto-Synchronization Service can be suspended using the System Manager or the REST API. When suspending this service, be aware that leaving auto-synchronization enabled ensures the IOM firmware is up to date. |
