[root@AULOGCONC ~]# cd /opt/rsa/saTools/NwDiskFw
[root@LOGCONC NwDiskFw]# ./nwUpdateDiskFw.py
ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found.
Traceback (most recent call last):

INFO: No RAID adapters found

Running the nwraidutil.pl script, its output shows the RAID adapter does exist.

Cause

This error indicates the perccli rpm is not installed on the appliance.

Resolution

To check if the perccli rpm package is installed, run the command,

rpm -q perccli
package perccli is not installed

The above example output shows the perccli is not installed, then install it by running the command,

 yum install perccli

Or

 rpm -Uvh /opt/rsa/saTools/NwDiskFw/perccli-*.noarch.rpm

The installed perccli version should be perccli-1.11.03-1.noarch.rpm or newer.

Rerun the /opt/rsa/saTools/NwDiskFw/nwUpdateDiskFw.py script.
