Firmware on the listed drives can be updated when attached to any P2000 G3, MSA2000 G2, or MSA2000 array controller enclosure.
CAUTION: Updating firmware on drives in a virtual disk causes the drives to be temporarily inaccessible and increases the risk of data loss. | |
IMPORTANT: Drive upgrades are an offline process. All host and array I/O must be stopped prior to the upgrade. | |
WARNING! Do not cycle power or restart devices during a firmware update. If the update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the module could become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical support. The module may need to be returned to the factory for reprogramming. | |
CAUTION: Before upgrading firmware, ensure that the storage system configuration is stable and is not being reconfigured or changed in any way. If configuration changes are in progress, monitor them and wait until they are completed before proceeding with the upgrade. | |
IMPORTANT: As with any firmware upgrade, it is a recommended best practice to ensure that you have a full backup prior to the upgrade. | |
NOTE: Drives of the same model in the storage system must have the same firmware revision. | |
NOTE: To install this firmware, you must download the firmware package from the HP website and save the file to your local filesystem. | |
This is a self-extracting executable module. You can execute this module from the Windows graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line console (CLI).
Execute the Smart Component by entering the following command:
CPxxxxxxx.exe /target <ip_address> /user <username> /passwd <password> /s
CPxxxxxxx.exe
is the name of the downloaded firmware file
ip_address
is the management IP address of the array controller
When prompted for logon information, enter credentials for an account with management access rights.
Place the downloaded firmware package in a temporary directory.
From the temporary directory containing the downloaded file, enable execute access to this module by entering:
chmod +x CPxxxxxx.scexe
(Where CPxxxxxx.scexe
represents the downloaded firmware file.)
Execute the Smart Component by entering:
./CPxxxxxx.scexe --target <ip_address> --user <username> --passwd <password>
When prompted for logon information, enter credentials for an account with management access rights.
Wrapped binary packages and raw binary files extracted from a Smart Component can be installed using the this installation method.
Place the downloaded firmware package in a temporary directory.
If using a Smart Component, extract the contents of the Smart Component using one of the following methods:
In Windows environments, click Extract on the first screen of the Smart Component.
In Linux environments, enter a command using the following syntax ./CPxxxxxx.scexe --unpack=<folder name>
Log in to the SMU and, in the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Tools > Update Firmware.
A table displays currently installed firmware versions.
IMPORTANT: A dual-ported drive can be updated from either controller in the system. A single-ported drive that is a member of a vdisk or is a dedicated spare for a vdisk must be updated from the controller that owns the vdisk. | |
Click Browse, navigate to the temporary directory containing the downloaded firmware file, and select the firmware file to install.
Click Install Disk Firmware File.
Wait for progress messages to specify that the update is complete.
In the SMU display, verify that the proper firmware version appears for each module.
If the old firmware version is still displayed in the SMU, cycle power on the enclosure. And then log in to the SMU to verify the firmware version.
Wrapped binary packages and raw binary files extracted from a Smart Component can be installed using the this installation method.
Place the downloaded firmware package in a temporary directory.
If using a Smart Component, extract the contents of the Smart Component using one of the following methods:
In Windows environments, click Extract on the first screen of the Smart Component.
In Linux environments, enter a command using the following syntax ./CPxxxxxx.scexe --unpack=<folder name>
Using the SMU, prepare to use FTP:
Open a command prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX), navigate to the temporary directory containing the firmware file to load, and install the firmware as follows:
Enter ftp <controller-network-address>
.
IMPORTANT: A dual-ported drive can be updated from either controller in the system. A single-ported drive that is a member of a vdisk or is a dedicated spare for a vdisk must be updated from the controller that owns the vdisk. | |
In P2000 environments: user = ftp
password = !ftp
In MSA2000 environments: user = ftp
password = flash
Enter one of the following commands to install the firmware:
If needed, repeat these steps to load the firmware on additional drives.
In the SMU display, verify that the proper firmware version appears for each module.
If the old firmware version is still displayed in the SMU, cycle power on the enclosure. And then log in to the SMU to verify the firmware version.
