Installing firmware using FTP 1. Obtain the firmware package and save it to a temporary directory. Firmware for all HP products is available from the HP Business Support Center website at http://www.hp.com/support/ downloads. 2. If using a Smart Component, extract the contents of the Smart Component using one of the following methods: • In Windows-Click Extract on the first screen of the Smart Component. • In Linux-Enter a command using the following syntax: ./CPxxxxxx.scexe --unpack= where ./CPxxxxxx.scexe represents the Smart Component filename represents the filename of the destination folder for the extracted binary file 3. Locate the firmware file in the downloaded/extracted folder. The firmware file name is in the following format: mercurysw-MxxxRyy-zz.bin 4. Using the SMU, prepare to use FTP: a. Determine the network-port IP addresses of the system controllers. b. Verify that the system FTP service is enabled. c. Verify that the user you will log in as has permission to use the FTP interface and has manage access rights. 5. In single-domain environments, stop I/O to vdisks in the enclosure before starting the firmware update. 6. Open a command prompt (Windows) or a terminal window (UNIX), and navigate to the directory containing the firmware file to load. a. Enter a command using the following syntax: ftp . (For example: ftp 10.1.0.9) b. Log in as an FTP user (user = ftp, password = flash). c. Enter a command using the following syntax: put flash where represents the binary firmware filename. Allow approximately 30-60 minutes for the firmware to load, plus an additional 15-30 minutes for the automatic restart to complete on the controller you are connected to. Wait for the progress messages to specify that the update has completed. In dual-controller systems with Partner Firmware Update enabled, allow an additional 30-60 minutes for the second update, plus an additional 15-30 minutes for the second module to automatically restart. 7. If needed, repeat these steps to load the firmware on additional modules. 8. Quit the FTP session. 9. In the SMU (or CLI) display, verify that the proper firmware version is displayed for each module. 12 Installation instructions
