Dell Storage PowerTools Server Hardware Manager Version 3.2 Administrator’s Guide

Updating EMM firmware

Only MD1400/MD1420/ME484 enclosure EMMs can be updated using this command. The MD24 Series enclosures do not support this command.

1. Download the latest firmware package from Dell support.
2. Stop all I/O between the server and the attached enclosures containing the EMMs you intend to update.
   NOTE:

   • After this update process begins, you may lose access to the drives or enclosures connected to the update target. The EMM does not respond to commands again until it is back online.
   • If you have more than one storage enclosure in a daisy-chain, Dell recommends that you update the EMMs starting in the lowest tier of the chain and work back, up to the top enclosure.
3. Run the following command:

   shmcli update emm -a=<(SASAddress | AdapterIndex)> -enc=<(WWN | EnclIndex)> -emm=<(WWN | EMMIndex)> -file=<FW.FilePath>  

   NOTE:The progress of the firmware transfer is indicated in the console.
4. EMM updates the firmware and restarts.
   NOTE:This process may take up to five minutes.
