Upgrading firmware on an individual disk

If you need to upgrade the firmware on a single disk, download the firmware and installation

instructions from the following website:

http://www.hp.com/support/evadiskfirmware

IMPORTANT: Upgrading disk drive firmware on a single disk can be performed online or offline,

unless the disk is a member of a disk group that contains Vraid0 virtual disks. If so, when using

HP Command View EVA 9.2 or later, you can upgrade disks that contain Vraid0 virtual disk data

by halting all host I/O to the Vraid0 virtual disks (other Vraid virtual disks can continue to service

host I/O). When using HP Command View EVA versions earlier than 9.2, you must either delete

the Vraid0 virtual disks or ungroup the disks individually before upgrading disk drive firmware.
