HP X5000 G2 Network Storage System Administrator Guide

Figure 21 Hardware status
Firmware
The Firmware tab indicates whether the firmware of a component is outdated. If the specific firmware
requires that you reboot after installing the update, a message instructing you to reboot the storage
system appears. Since the tool does not connect to the Internet to identify new firmware, you must
periodically check the HP support web page and download new firmware when available. Be
sure to check the Firmware tab on each server blade. Some firmware updates must be made on
both server blades.
IMPORTANT: If a firmware update requires a reboot, you must reboot your storage system
manually. For more information about firmware updates, see“Upgrading a component's firmware”
(page 56).
