The utility provides a command line interface for installing updated firmware for systems with a SAS expander attached using the {{mpt(7d)}} driver. A man page is also provided for reference on the firmware flash utility usage. |
This is an unbundled product and requires Solaris 10 10/08 or later. The utility allows customers to upgrade the SAS expander firmware on the Sun Fire T5140/T5240, Sun Storage J4200/J4300/J4400/J4500/J4650/J5100 Arrays, and also some storage blades. |
