11. View the messages displayed on the array controller LCD panel during startup to con fi rm that the
fi rmware was installed successfully and that the array controller restarts successfully.
NOTE:
In dual-controller con fi gurations, fi rmware on the two controllers is compared each time
the MSA chassis is restarted. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone
the fi rmware on the controller with the latest version over to the controller with the earlier
version fi rmware. (For the system to operate in a dual-controller mode, fi rmware on the
controllers must match.)
The following message is displayed on the LCD panel of the controller with the earlier
fi rmware:
07 CLONE FIRMWARE ? ‘<‘ = NO, ‘>’ = YES
Press the > button on the LCD panel to clone the fi rmware. During the cloning process,
informational messages are displayed on the controller LCD panels. When the cloning
process is complete, the just-updated controller automatically restarts.
Updating MSA fi rmware using the MSA-CLI
This out-of-band, MSA-based updating method is supported for use in most environments, with a few
limitations.
IMPORTANT:
Before using this method to update the fi rmware, make note of the following:
• The custom CLI cable, shipped with the MSA, must be available to establish the serial connection to
the MSA. This command is not available through SSH or Telnet.
• The host computer must support the 1k Xmodem (Ymodem) protocol.
• Because this updating method uses a serial connection to the MSA, it is substantially slower than
other updating methods. The preferred method of updating MSA1510i fi rmware is with the SMU. See
the
HP Storage Management Utility user guide
for more information.
NOTE:
For more information about accessing and using the CLI, see the MSA1510i Modular Smart Array
Command Line Interface user guide
.
To update MSA controller fi rmware or MSA storage enclosure fi rmware:
1. Determine which version fi rmware is currently installed on the MSA by using one of the following
methods:
• With the array controller powered on, press the
arrow buttons on the front of the controller until
the following message is displayed:
00 Array Controller Firmware ver <version>
.
• From the MSA-CLI, enter the
show version
command. MSA1510i Firmware Revision is
included in the displayed system information.
