SAS storage controller

CAUTION: Take care of the following prerequisite measures before performing a firmware update

operation on a SAS Storage controller:

• To avoid spurious failure indications and potential system crashes, you must suspend hardware

monitoring during the update process. You should execute hpspmonControl --pause on

both servers in the couplet before performing the flash operation. You should then make sure

to execute hpspmonControl --resume on both servers in the couplet after the flash

operation is complete.

• Do not cycle power or restart devices during a firmware update.

• Ensure that the storage system configuration is not being reconfigured during a firmware

update.

• Ensure that redundant paths to all storage enclosure HDDs exist.

The command output in Example 67 (page 72) lists the measures to be taken before the update

operation.

NOTE: For the StoreAll 9320 G7 platform, the firmware image for the HP P2000 storage controller

is a bundle that consists of firmware images of compatible enclosure I/O modules. Therefore, as

part of the P2000 storage controller firmware update operation, the compatible enclosure I/O

modules that need UPGRADE also get updated.

Example 67 Firmware update of the SAS storage controller (ExDS9100cc) on 9320/9300 platforms

# hpsp_fmt -fr -c storage_ctlr -ci 10.20.12.111 -cu <user> -cp <password>

Based on the configuration, Flash recommendation may take 4 minutes.
