1 Windows installation This chapter describes installing Smart Array P812/1GB Controllers on HP Integrity servers running Microsoft Windows. Installation overview WARNING! The HP AM312A Smart Array P812/1GB controller does not support SATA disks in its initial release. SATA support will be added in a future firmware update. For the latest information on recommended adapter firmware and supported peripherals, see the HP Smart Array RAID Controllers Support Matrix at: http://www.hp.
2 HP-UX installation This chapter describes installing Smart Array P812/1GB Controllers on HP Integrity servers running HP-UX. Installation overview WARNING! The HP AM312A Smart Array P812/1GB controller does not support SATA disks in its initial release. SATA support will be added in a future firmware update. For the latest information on recommended adapter firmware and supported peripherals, see the HP Smart Array RAID Controllers Support Matrix at http://www.hp.com/go/smart-array-raid-docs.
1. Confirm that your server and HP-UX operating system version are supported by the controller. Use the swlist command to determine the HP-UX version you are using. For example: # swlist | grep OE HPUX11i-DC-OE B.11.31.1003 HP-UX Data Center Operating Environment The Smart Array P812 controller requires HP-UX version B.11.31.1003 or later, and RAID-01 (ciss) driver bundle version B.11.31.1005 or later.
2. Enter the ioscan -kfnd ciss command: # ioscan -kfnd ciss If the Smart Array Controller software is installed correctly, the generated output looks similar to this: # ioscan -kfnd ciss Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description ========================================================================== ext_bus 5 0/6/0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0 ciss CLAIMED INTERFACE PCIe SAS SmartArray P400 RAID Controller /dev/ciss5 If the software is not installed correctly, reinstall it using swinstall.
3 Hardware installation Card installation varies by server type and model. The following procedures are a general guideline for installing the card. For more information, see your server documentation. WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the server documentation safety information. Ensure that you are properly grounded before continuing the installation procedure to not damage electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
2. Connect an external SAS cable to the external port of the controller: a. Pull back the tab on the mini SAS 4x connector on the cable. b. Insert the cable connector into the external port of the controller. c. Release the tab. For more information on SAS cables, see Appendix B (page 29). 3. 4. 5. Connect the other end of the cable to the SAS input connector of the external storage enclosure.

5. 6. 7. Review the installation instructions and release notes on the download page. Download the firmware. Follow the procedures supplied with the update package to install the firmware update. Updating the controller firmware NOTE: The following is a generic procedure to update firmware from the UEFI shell. HP recommends that you follow the procedures supplied with the update package to install the firmware update. Use saupdate from the UEFI Shell to update the firmware image on the controller.
1. Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the UEFI partition: • To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD: a. Download the firmware and copy it to the UEFI partition. b. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system. c. Boot the system to the UEFI Shell prompt. d. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under UEFI Shell prompt. e.
2. Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller. To update a single controller, the syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows: saupdate UPDATE For example, to update the controller at segment 1, bus 55, device 0, function 0 from the example output above: fs0:\> saupdate UPDATE 1:55:0:0 sandman.
2. Use saupdate list to confirm that the correct firmware version is installed. See “Verifying the controller firmware” (page 9). For example: fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate list ******************************************************************************** Smart Array Offline Firmware Update Utility Version 2.09.10.02 (C) Copyright 2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
For querying/changing Controller mode: saupdate GET_MODE [ | all | ] saupdate SET_MODE [ | all | ] [ hba | raid ] [-f] Error messages The following error messages might appear when using saupdate: • When keyword LIST or UPDATE is misspelled or extra parameters are specified: Error: Syntax Error Usage: saupdate LIST or saupdate UPDATE [ | all ] • When the controller ID in the saupdate UPDATE command is not correct: No matching controller found • Whe
2. • Use saupdate LIST to display all detected Smart Array controllers along with the active firmware versions. For example: fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate list ******************************************************************************** Smart Array Offline Firmware Update Utility Version 2.09.10.02 (C) Copyright 2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
Updating the enclosure firmware NOTE: The following is a generic procedure to update firmware from the UEFI shell. HP recommends that you follow the procedures supplied with the update package to install the firmware update. Use saupdate from the UEFI Shell to update the firmware image on the enclosure.
1. Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the UEFI partition: • To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD: a. Download the firmware and copy it to the UEFI partition. b. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before booting the system. c. Boot the system to the UEFI Shell prompt. d. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under UEFI Shell prompt. e.
2. Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller: • To update a single enclosure, use this command: saupdate UPDATE In the following example, the SAS expander at segment 1, bus C7, device 0, function 0, index 4 is updated with the firmware file 0507.bin, and the enclosure at 1:C7:0:0:2 is updated with the firmware file CAMSPR0052_6G_app_4MB_ai.pmc: fs1:\> saupdate update 1:C7:0:0:4 0507.
2. Use saupdate LIST to confirm that the correct firmware version is installed. See “Verifying the controller firmware” (page 9).

A Electrostatic discharge This appendix discusses ways to prevent damage to your system due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Handling parts To prevent damage to your system, you must take precautions when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device.
