Updating firmware on shared SAS storage (MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 SAS MSA controller enclosures and its cascaded MSA 2040, P2000, MSA2000, and D2700 drive enclosures) Updating firmware on MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA storage enclosures and any cascaded drive enclosures can be performed through one of the following methods: • HP Storage Management Utility (SMU) • An HP Smart Component self-extracting executable file Firmware files may be provided in both Smart Component and Binary file formats, both of which are supported for use when the MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA is connected to a BladeSystem solution. To view the currently-installed firmware versions on MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA controller enclosures and cascaded drive enclosures, access the SMU and, in the Configuration View panel, right-click the system, select View > Overview, and then select the Versions component in the System Overview Table. To view expansion module firmware versions, in the Configuration View panel, right-click an enclosure and select View > Overview. Expansion module A's firmware version is shown as EMP A Revision; expansion module B's firmware version is shown as EMP B Revision. To obtain software and firmware downloads, including Smart Component update instructions, go to the HP Support Downloads page: http://www.hp.com/support/downloads. Before beginning, select an appropriate time for the update: • In single-controller configurations, schedule a maintenance window to stop all I/O. • In dual-controller configurations, either schedule a maintenance window or perform during times of low I/O. For information about updating firmware using the SMU, see the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide, HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide, HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide, or HP P2000 G3 MSA System CLI Reference Guide.

Updating firmware on shared SAS storage (MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 SAS MSA
controller enclosures and its cascaded MSA 2040, P2000, MSA2000, and D2700
drive enclosures)
Updating firmware on MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA storage enclosures and any cascaded
drive enclosures can be performed through one of the following methods:
•
HP Storage Management Utility (SMU)
•
An HP Smart Component self-extracting executable file
Firmware files may be provided in both Smart Component and Binary file formats, both of which
are supported for use when the MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA is connected to a BladeSystem
solution.
To view the currently-installed firmware versions on MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA controller
enclosures and cascaded drive enclosures, access the SMU and, in the
Configuration View
panel,
right-click the system, select
View > Overview
, and then select the
Versions
component in the
System
Overview Table
.
To view expansion module firmware versions, in the
Configuration View
panel, right-click an
enclosure and select
View > Overview
