5.5 HP StorageWorks X9720 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW549-96026, March 2011)

Locating firmware
Obtain the firmware by one of the following methods:
• HP technical support might send you an updated mxso-firmware RPM. This installs firmware in /
opt/hp/mxso/firmware. This RPM also updates the revision information used by the
exds_stdiag commands. The README.txt file in the directory tells you which file belongs to
which firmware. The files listed in the README.txt file are symlinks to the actual firmware file.
See the following table for a list of the symlinks.
• HP technical support might send you a specific firmware file. Install this in the /opt/hp/mxso/
firmware directory.
• HP technical support might ask you to download a file from www.hp.com. Install this in the /opt/
hp/mxso/firmware directory.
The following table maps firmware files to components. The actual system details may vary.

Upgrading Onboard Administrator
1. Download the X9720 Network Storage System mxso-firmware RPM. Install the mxso-firm-
ware RPM on all servers.
2. Get the IP address of the Onboard Administrator. For example on a system called glory, look
for an entry called glory-mp in /etc/hosts.
You also need a username and password for the Onboard Administrator. You can use the exds
or Administrator username. The password for the Administrator user is located on a label
on OA 1.
3. Run the following command:
# exds_update_oa_firmware
4. The command prompts for IP address, username and password. Use the data from step 2:
