CAUTION: Do not perform a power cycle or controller restart during the firmware update. If the update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the module might become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical support. The module might need to be returned to the factory for reprogramming. It typically takes 4.5 minutes to update each EMP in a D2700 enclosure, or 2.5 minutes to update each EMP in an MSA 2040 or P2000 drive enclosure. Wait for a message that the code load has completed. 7. Verify that each updated expansion module has the correct firmware version. Updating disk firmware You can update disk firmware by loading a firmware file obtained from the HP web download site, http://www.hp.com/support. To install an HP ROM Flash Component or firmware Smart Component, follow the instructions on the HP web site; otherwise, to install a firmware binary file, follow the steps below. A dual-ported disk can be updated from either controller. NOTE: Disks of the same model in the storage system must have the same firmware revision. To update disk firmware 1. Obtain the appropriate firmware file and download it to your computer or network. 2. Check the disk manufacturer's documentation to determine whether disks must be power cycled after firmware update. 3. Stop I/O to the storage system. During the update all volumes will be temporarily inaccessible to hosts. If I/O is not stopped, mapped hosts will report I/O errors. Volume access is restored after the update completes. 4. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Tools > Update Firmware. The table titled Current Versions (Revisions) of All Disk Drives shows the currently installed versions. 5. Select the disks to update. 6. Click Browse and select the firmware file to install. 7. Click Install Disk Firmware File. A dialog box shows firmware-update progress. CAUTION: Do not power cycle enclosures or restart a controller during the firmware update. If the update is interrupted or there is a power failure, the disk might become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical support. It typically takes several minutes for the firmware to load. Wait for a message that the update has completed. 8. If the updated disks must be power cycled: a. Shut down both controllers; see "Restarting or shutting down controllers" (page 79). b. Power cycle all enclosures as described in your product's User Guide. 9. Verify that each disk has the correct firmware revision. Using the activity progress interface The activity progress interface reports whether a firmware update operation is active and shows the progress through each step of the operation. When the update operation completes, status is presented that either indicates successful completion or indicates an error if the operation failed. When the interface is enabled it is accessible at all times, except when an MC is restarting. The interface is accessed through an HTTP-based query to a specified MC or to both MCs. The content is presented in a unified way so that activity in both MCs in a dual-controller system can be accessed simultaneously. Use of this interface will not interfere in any way with Smart Component installation or firmware update performed via the SMU or FTP. Updating firmware 75

Updating disk firmware
You can update disk firmware by loading a firmware file obtained from the HP web download site,
support
. To install an HP ROM Flash Component or firmware Smart Component, follow the
instructions on the HP web site; otherwise, to install a firmware binary file, follow the steps below.
A dual-ported disk can be updated from either controller.
NOTE:
Disks of the same model in the storage system must have the same firmware revision.
To update disk firmware
1.
Obtain the appropriate firmware file and download it to your computer or network.
2.
Check the disk manufacturer’s documentation to determine whether disks must be power cycled after firmware
update.
3.
Stop I/O to the storage system. During the update all volumes will be temporarily inaccessible to hosts. If I/O is
not stopped, mapped hosts will report I/O errors. Volume access is restored after the update completes.
4.
In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select
Tools > Update Firmware
. The table titled Current
Versions (Revisions) of All Disk Drives shows the currently installed versions.
5.
Select the disks to update.
6.
Click
Browse
and select the firmware file to install.
7.
Click
Install Disk Firmware File
. A dialog box shows firmware-update progress.
CAUTION:
Do not power cycle enclosures or restart a controller during the firmware update. If the update is
interrupted or there is a power failure, the disk might become inoperative. If this occurs, contact technical
support.
It typically takes several minutes for the firmware to load. Wait for a message that the update has completed.
8.
If the updated disks must be power cycled:
a.
Shut down both controllers; see
"Restarting or shutting down controllers" (page 79)
.
b.
Power cycle all enclosures as described in your product’s User Guide.
9.
Verify that each disk has the correct firmware revision.
Using the activity progress interface
The activity progress interface reports whether a firmware update operation is active and shows the progress through
each step of the operation. When the update operation completes, status is presented that either indicates successful
completion or indicates an error if the operation failed.
When the interface is enabled it is accessible at all times, except when an MC is restarting. The interface is accessed
through an HTTP-based query to a specified MC or to both MCs. The content is presented in a unified way so that
activity in both MCs in a dual-controller system can be accessed simultaneously.
Use of this interface will not interfere in any way with Smart Component installation or firmware update performed
via the SMU or FTP.
