The disk-dmc utility performs firmware upgrade by issuing SCSI Write Buffer command (mode 5 or mode 7) on specified device(s). disk-dmc uses the uscsi(7I) interface so the execution is limited to the root user.

The following options are supported:
 
 
dsk
Specify the drive that will be targeted for firmware upgrade. dsk is the drive path in the form of /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?p0 Requires -p. This option is mutually exclusive with the -m option.
 
 
-7|5
Change default (5) write buffer command mode. Supported values are 5 and 7. If 5 is selected disk-dmc will attempt to download the full firmware file onto the specified drive(s) in one write buffer command. If 7 is selected disk-dmc will break up the firmware file into 32K chunks and send as many write buffer commands as needed to complete the firmware transfer.
 
 
Display the command line usage message.
 
 
List the drives on a system available for firmware upgrade and display information specific to each device. This is implied if disk-dmc is run without any arguments.
 
 
str
Specify the model of drive(s) to download firmware to. All discovered drives whose model exactly matches the str will be upgraded. Requires -p. This option is mutually exclusive with the -d option.
 
 
path
Specify the path to the binary firmware image file you want to write to the device.
 
 
Verbose mode, turns on extra debug messages.
 
 
delay
Number of seconds to delay check for drive readiness after downloading the firmware. Also used for drive preparation timeouts.
