NOTE:
There is the possibility that a speci fi c version of fi rmware may not be compatible with certain hardware
revisions of a controller. In this scenario, the fi rmware on the two controllers is compared, and the version
that is compatible with both controllers is copied to the controller with the incompatible fi rmware version.
However, if the controller that is updated is already operating and processing I/O, it is not reset. The
MSA does not enter redundant operation and an appropriate message is shown on the display. After the
MSA has been shut down and powered back on, the controllers are then be able to enter redundant
operation. On a subsequent power cycle, both controllers enter redundant mode.
Updating SCSI hard drive fi rmware
SCSI hard drive fi rmware updates are performed through the SMU, using fi les on the ProLiant Firmware
Maintenance CD. An update is required only when the following message is displayed on the MSA
controller LCD panel:
85 BAD DRIVE FRMWARE BOX <n> BAY <n>
CAUTION:
This update procedure must be performed during a scheduled maintenance window.
1. Obtain the ISO image for the latest ProLiant Firmware Maintenance CD from the following website:
http://www.hp.com/support/proliantstorage . Then, burn the image onto a bootable CD using a
standard CD-ROM burning utility. Do not simply copy the ISO fi le to a blank CD.
NOTE:
If the latest Firmware Maintenance CD does not include the latest release of hard drive fi rmware
contained in a Smart Component, the CD can be used in combination with the latest individual Smart
Component package to perform the update.
2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM hard drive of a ProLiant server with access to the MSA.
3. Using the navigation window, locate the inventory fi le on the CD and copy it to a temporary location
on the server. The fi lename may be similar to
InventoryResultsLinux.xml
.
4. Open a browser and access the SMU.
