Currently only LSI and Supermicro SAS 6 Gb/s expanders are supported when updating the enclosure’s storage enclosure processor (SEP) firmware using CLI."

No update expander firmware is available at this time.  If/when such firmware is available, it will be linked from this KB article.

CLI command syntax

/cx/ex update fw=<filename_with_path> [sep=n] [force]

1.       LSI ESM enclosures: 6 Gbit/sec (620J/630J) and 3 Gbit/sec

a.       Download firmware image.

 Example: /c1/e0 update fw=c:\esm_fw\badger_0314.esm  sep=0

b.      Do step a. for each SEP of the enclosure.

c.       Reset/Reboot enclosure.

d.      Verify firmware upgraded.

Example: /cx/ex show firmware

2.       Super Micro 6 Gbit/sec enclosure.

a.       Download firmware image

Example: /c1/e2 update fw=c:\smc_fw\sas2xfw.fw  sep=0

b.      Download manufacturing image

There are multiple .bin files in firmware release package.  Pick the one that matches the enclosure backplane configuration.

Example: /c1/e2 update fw=c:\smc_fw\ mfgImage216.bin  sep=0

c.       Do step a. & b. for each SEP of the enclosure.

d.      Reset/Reboot enclosure.

e.      Verify firmware upgraded.

Example: /cx/ex show firmware

3.       Super Micro 3 Gbit/sec enclosure.

a.       Download firmware image

Example: /c0/e0 update fw=c:\smc_fw\sasxfw.fw  sep=0

b.      Download manufacturing image

There are multiple .bin files in firmware release package.  Pick the one that matches the enclosure backplane configuration.

Example: /c0/e0 update fw=c:\smc_fw\ mfgImage.bin  sep=0

c.       Do step a. & b. for each SEP of the enclosure.

d.      Reset/Reboot enclosure.

e.      Verify firmware upgraded.

Example: /cx/ex show firmware

        NOTE: On SUPER MICRO 3 Gbit/sec enclosure may require use of CLI [force] option as the enclosure type detection fails.
