3.Add permission to the update tool. Use the chmod +x exptool.x86_64 command to add the execution permission to the update tool.
4.Verify the current information. Execute the ./exptool.x86_64 show command to view the storage controller type, Expander type, and current version.
5.Update the firmware version. Execute the ./exptool.x86_64 update command. The system returns Success when the update is completed.
6.Enable the new firmware. Power off and then power on the server as prompted for the new firmware to take effect.
