HP StorageWorks 1000/1500 Modular Smart Array firmware updating guide (370881-002, June 2007)

NOTE:

In dual-controller conﬁgurations, ﬁrmware on the two contr ollers is compared each time

the MSA chassis is restarted. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone

the ﬁrm ware on the controller with the latest version over to the controller with the earlier

version ﬁrmware. The following message is displayed on the LCD panel of the controller

with the earlier ﬁrmware:

07 CLONE FIRMWARE ? ‘<‘ = NO, ‘>’ = YES

Press the > button on the LCD panel to clone the ﬁrmware. 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.

11 . After the MSA startup process is complete, access the MSA Flash Utility again, click Find Devices,

and then read the display to verify that the ﬁrmware was updated.

12. Before resuming I/O access to the MSA, verify that the MSA and its storage arrays are online.

13 . Repeat these steps on other MSA that need updating.

Using the SCSI Command Utility (HP-UX)

NOTE:

The following HP-UX environments can use the SCU to update MSA ﬁrmware:

• active/passive MSA1000: currentl y-installed ﬁrmware must be v4.38 or v4.48.

• acti ve/passive MSA1500: currently-installed ﬁrmware must be v5.10 or later.

• active/active MSA1000 or MSA1500: currently-installed ﬁrmware must be v6.xx or later.

If ﬁrmware other than the above listed versions is currently installed on the MSA, you cannot use the SCU

to update the ﬁrmware on the MSA. You must use the MSA CLI download firmware offline

command. See Using the MSA CLI (most environments).

NOTE:

When migrating from active/passive to active/active ﬁrmware , use the MSA CLI download firmware

offline com m and to upg rade the ﬁrmware. See Using the MSA CLI (most environments).

During the updating process, use the following table to enter information about your environment.
