Firmware update using Linux

Perform the following steps to update your firmware using the Linux BOSS-S1 command line interface (CLI):

Download the SAS-RAID_Firmware_xxxxx_UEFI_Axx.zip from www.dell.com/support/home.
Locate the folder which contains the downloaded the CLI file, for example: C:\Home\Desktop\mvcli.xxxx_Axx\x64\cli.
Copy the firmware image binary from the SAS-RAID_Firmware_xxxxx_UEFI_Axx.zip folder to the directory where the CLI file is located. Overwrite any existing files.
NOTE: The BOSS-S1 card supports multiple subdevice IDs. Locate the correct subdevice ID, available in the iDRAC, BOSS-S1 HII, and BOSS-S1 operating system CLI (Info -o hba).
Table 1. Supported SubDevice IDTable shows the supported SubDevice ID
SubDevice ID Firmware Binary Image
1FD6 (Monolithic) ImageA1_1FD6.bin
1FE2 (Monolithic) ImageA1_1FE2.bin
1FDF (Modular) ImageA1.bin
Provide user permissions to that entire folder.
To install BOSS-S1, run ./install.sh, followed by ./mvcli.
To flash the firmware, run the command flash –a update –f ImageA1_xxxx.bin –t raw in the CLI shell.
Exit and reboot the system, and verify the firmware version.
NOTE: Administrator privileges for Windows and Root/Sudo for Linux are recommended.
