installing array controller firmware, the process will also update firmware on attached drive enclosures. IMPORTANT: TS230 merges firmware for HP 1GbE iSCSI MSA and HP 10GbE iSCSI MSA controllers. Update recommendation Recommended Supersedes • TS220R004 (For the HP P2000 G3 1GbE iSCSI MSA controller - HP P2000 | HP P2000 G3 1GbE iSCSI MSA and 10GbE iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware TS - Page 4
and HP 10GbE iSCSI MSA System controllers. • A new tool was created to check the local system link. • Added support for vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI), to offload certain processing functions from the host to the array, which can greatly enhance performance. • Improved handling of drives - HP P2000 | HP P2000 G3 1GbE iSCSI MSA and 10GbE iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware TS - Page 5

Workaround: • In the SMU, use the Replication Setup Wizard or the Replicate Volume task or, in the CLI, use the create replication set command to automatically create the secondary - HP P2000 | HP P2000 G3 1GbE iSCSI MSA and 10GbE iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware TS - Page 13
, enter the IP addresses for the servers. Issue: In Windows configurations, the IQN shown by the NC551 card during POST may not match the IQN seen in the array controller. This occurs when the NC551 was set up in a boot-from-storage configuration. After an operating system is installed, the POST - HP P2000 | HP P2000 G3 1GbE iSCSI MSA and 10GbE iSCSI MSA Controller Firmware TS - Page 14
same time, the host port will not show a status of "Down". Workaround: Do the following: 1. Verify that the SFP+, Copper Cable, or Direct Attach Cable is a supported component.
