2.3 Operating
System Requirements
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software that is required to support the new feature and that you determine whether any prerequisites must be met for this feature and attaching devices. Consult the IBM sales manual for your system model to determine the Linux release level requisites to support the feature in the system. To check for the Feature prerequisites, see IBM Prerequisite website (https://www14.software.ibm.com/support/customercare/iprt/home).
3.0 Determine the Current Microcode Level
Use SAS3FLASH Version 16.00.00.03 to flash the SAS controllers. This tool can be downloaded from the “Management Software and Tools” Section at
https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9305-16i#downloads
1) Type "sas3flash -list"
2) The Command will produce output similar to
"Firmware Version :
16.00.01.00"
If the Firmware Version is less than 16.00.01.00 then you should update the microcode.
